CHAPTER 32: CHAPTER 32: AN ACCIDENT OCCURS

Nina Sinclair had a feeling, looked around, and found nothing unusual.

Strange? Just now, she felt a chill on her back, a bit eerie, as if someone was staring at her. She quickly brushed off this doubt.

Maybe she was overthinking. In her line of work, it’s quite normal for people to stare out of curiosity when they’re outside.

Nina Sinclair thought of Vincent Lancaster.

His behavior today was really strange. What exactly is he busy with?

Unable to figure it out, she decided not to dwell on it.

Nina Sinclair had been busy all day and finally completed a third of the drafts.

As she finished working in the evening, a car stopped in front of her. The window slowly rolled down, revealing a handsome and graceful face.

Julian Lancaster.

Nina Sinclair slightly lifted the corners of her lips, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.

"What are you doing here?"

Julian Lancaster said calmly, "I happened to pass by after work."

He started the car and left, the scenery around them rapidly retreating. Nina Sinclair opened the window, and the soothing breeze brushed her face, making her feel at ease.

Ever since she came to Veridia, various painful and oppressive things kept happening, but now things were moving in a positive direction.

For a brief moment, Nina Sinclair felt a kind of simple happiness in this life: she worked every day, and this man beside her would come to pick her up after work.

They headed to the market together on the way.

At this time, the market was crowded. Someone was pushing a cart that was about to hit Nina Sinclair, who was too busy looking at the ingredients to notice.

Julian Lancaster reached out and pulled Nina Sinclair over, "Be careful."

This woman really had such a big heart.

Didn’t she realize she has a child inside her?

Nina Sinclair fell into his arms, sensing the crisp scent of the man. Only then did she become aware and react.

She hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you."

Afterward, Julian Lancaster carefully protected Nina Sinclair to prevent her from being hit by anyone, causing a peculiar feeling to stir within her.

Julian Lancaster truly was a considerate and gentlemanly man. When she used to go out with Vincent Lancaster, he never did these things.

...

The next day, Julian Lancaster took Nina Sinclair to Zenith Group. He pretended to drive away but actually avoided everyone and went around to enter the Zenith Parking Garage through the back door.

Taking the elevator upstairs, Julian Lancaster could see Nina Sinclair below, focused on her work, through the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

An unnoticeable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Below, Nina Sinclair had completed her safety precautions and climbed onto the scaffolding.

Usually, her projects were mainly private villas, with typical heights of just over two meters. If the scaffolding was set up inside a duplex, it would be at most around three meters. But the outer wall of Zenith Group was much wider and bigger.

The height was more than double what she was used to. Standing at such a high place, without a strong mentality, it would be quite challenging to handle.

Fortunately, Nina Sinclair had ample experience. Once she focused on painting, she was fully immersed and wouldn’t feel scared.

As Nina Sinclair stepped on the plank, it made a subtle creaking sound. Her body paused, and she frowned slightly.

Something seemed off...

Crack!

The wood under her feet suddenly split in two. Losing her support, Nina Sinclair plummeted straight down from the scaffolding!

The harness she was wearing buffered her fall a little, but it snapped almost immediately, and she continued to fall down.

"Nina Sinclair!"

Julian Lancaster, watching Nina Sinclair, felt a sudden tightness in his chest, as though his blood had frozen. He rushed downstairs in a panic.
