Chapter 682: It must be him
"Nina!" Penny skidded to a halt when she saw Nina seated on the bench outside the emergency surgery room.
Turning at the sound of Penny’s voice, Nina’s eyes brimmed with tears as she rose. "Penny," was all she could say as she rushed into Penny’s arms. "Penny... what am I going to do?"
"Nina," Penny breathed out, her heart thudding as she rushed in the moment she received Nina’s call. Stroking Nina’s back, she huffed and snapped her eyes to the emergency door behind Nina. "It’s okay, Nina. It’s okay."
"Penny... What am I going to do? What if something terrible happened? I can’t forgive myself!"
Just earlier today, Nina had been with Finn, and the outcome hadn’t been particularly good. Despite their separation, she had never intended to wish him anything terrible. Even so, her heart was filled with not just worry but also guilt.
Nina cried and cried while Penny comforted her silently. When they heard something buzz, both shifted their attention to the door. The lights above it had turned off, and soon enough, a doctor emerged.

Nina’s sniffles echoed in the private ward where Finn was now recovering. She sat beside the bed, keeping her mouth shut in an attempt to muffle her cries. However, her hiccups would still resonate now and then as she held the tip of Finn’s finger.
Meanwhile, Penny stared at Nina from outside the door through the window. She gazed at Nina’s trembling back, sighing deeply. When she turned away from the door, she glanced at the man standing close to her.
