Only you in my love
Chapter 526 Something Wrong With Nina

Vicente's anger simmered beneath the surface as she looked at John's disdainful eyes, but then her expression changed.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of it before?" Vicente exclaimed excitedly at the realization. "If Demi really wanted to kill herself, she would have done so in secret. She made noise so that my people would notice her and save her. I was deceived." "Right," Nina nodded. "The wound on her forehead didn't seem to be too serious-it didn't look like she would die from it. Then, she woke up soon after she fainted.

She was planning to lure us there. As for the reason why she did that, well, she probably wanted to check whether we have found out about her connection to Jett. Now that she knows the answer, she won't commit suicide. For her, the next logical step would be to find a way to escape or wait for Jett to send people to save her." "Jett is a heartless man. Will he come to save her?" Vicente very much doubted it.

Nina answered resolutely, "He would. We've only ever seen his interactions with Ruby and other women. We haven't seen how he treats Demi.

Yesterday, I got some information about the sapphire necklace. Back then, Jett spent a ton of money on the sapphire necklace. He gave Demi the real one, while he gifted his own wife a fake one.

Do you remember that perfume? John had the matter secretly investigated. As it turns out, Jett mixed the perfume himself, for his beloved. But Ruby only ever uses perfumes from a well-known international brand."

Nina's glance shifted from John to Vicente. "Vicente, do you remember telling me that Demi's perfume was sent by her boyfriend? You mentioned that she wore it every day. A man was willing to take the time to make her a customized perfume. Demi's boyfriend must be loving her deeply."

Vicente gasped, understanding what Nina was implying. "If what you're saying is true, then Jett and Demi must really love each other. There's no way that he won't come to save her."

Nina nodded. "Has Jett found out that we have Demi?"

"I'm not sure. I told the others that Demi went on a business trip, but he probably is suspicious of it, especially when he can't get in touch with her." Vicente sneered. "He is very calm, and he hasn't done anything yet. However, my men found out that he visited a private hospital, but they couldn't find anything."

"Hospital?" Nina turned to look at John. "We've been ignoring one thing all this time! Jett had people take away Van and Don because he suspected that the children are not Vicente's. He probably went to the hospital to get a paternity test done. Demi must have gotten samples from the children and given them to Jett to have their DNA tested. That would explain his calmness."

The atmosphere in the room dropped by several degrees as the expression on their faces changed at the same time.

"Didn't Cali swear that Demi didn't succeed?" Vicente suddenly shot up in alarm.

John's eyes narrowed into slits. "Cali did say that. It's difficult to tell the truth."

Nina gritted her teeth and smacked her lips. "If he really loves Demi, he might trade the secret for her. If he prefers power to Demi, then we're done for."

"What should I do?" Vicente paced back and forth worriedly.

After thinking for a while, John said, "Once he gets the result of the test, he will either announce it to the public or come to us. He hasn't done anything yet, which means he's still waiting for the result. We still have time."

Suddenly, Nina stood up and took out the photo that had been in Demi's bag. "I've always had a hunch that the person in this photo is the key. We must have missed something."

"I already had that checked." Vicente stopped her pacing. "There's nothing on C Island about this person. We have never heard anything about Jett's relationship, let alone a marriage."

In fact, they had investigated everything that they could think of, but to no avail.

The room became quiet once again.

The silence was only broken when the alarm set on John's mobile phone went off.

"You don't have to work so hard. I'm here with you." John squatted in front of Nina and gently pinched her face. "It's time to sleep."

"Is it half past eleven?" Nina still remembered his default sleeping time of half past eleven. She used to wish that she could sleep on time just like him.

However, that was a long time ago. When they were married, he rarely went to bed on time. He wouldn't stop having sex with her until two or three in the morning.

To her, the thought of John bringing back the habit of having a set bedtime was a comfort. After all, such a habit was beneficial to one's health.

John was about to agree with her when Vicente suddenly pointed at the screen. "It's three past ten in the evening."

"That seems a little early," Nina commented as her gaze swept up from the screen to meet John's. "Have you changed your routine?"

"Well, it will be about ten thirty by the time you're done washing up. Don't think too much. Trust me I'll be here the whole time." John gently held her in his arms. "I'll check whether you go to bed obediently. If you don't listen to me, I'll be angry." Nina didn't understand why she had to go to bed this early, but she nodded. "Okay. Good night."

Then, she leaned over and placed a kiss on the corner of his mouth.

The affection between the two nearly blinded Vicente's eyes. She brushed the emotion aside, but her eyes looked bleak.

In the end, Vicente couldn't resist a snarky comment. "In the future, can you two stop being so lovey-dovey in front of me?"

Nina's and John's head swiveled toward him.

She rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Forget it. I don't mind." With a wave of a hand, Vicente bid the two good night. "I'll go to sleep, too. John, you shouldn't stay on the second floor. It's the crucial moment."

Ignoring him, John kissed Nina's forehead before leaving.

As soon as John closed the door and turned around, Vicente was waiting for him by the door of the next room, looking like she had something to say.

John walked over and demanded in a terse voice, "Tell me."

"Sure enough, you only talk a lot when you're with Nina." Vicente sighed and pushed her point. "You haven't changed your routine. Nina's has always been dependent on you. Why did you make her sleep at half past ten?"

"It's normal to sleep at half past ten." John's face was completely unreadable.

However, Vicente was not stupid. How could she believe John's words? Thus, she hazarded a guess. "Is there something wrong with Nina?"

"No." Something flickered in the depths of John's eyes, and his hands clenched into fists.

Vicente frowned. "There must be something wrong."

"I said NO!" John growled out, his low voice rough with the effort of restraining himself. The eyes glaring at Vicente looked like a wild beast's.

John's denial did nothing but proved Vicente's suspicion. In an urgent voice, she tried reasoning with John. "Have you consulted experts in the field? How did you know that there really is something wrong with her? Don't keep such things to yourself. You're not only scaring yourself, you're scaring us, too. I think she is fine. She has remembered everything in the past. Normally, she..."

"Her immunity is declining." John's eyes lowered to the floor to hide his expression, but the long lashes obscuring them were spiky and wet. "It grows worse by the day."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
