"Uncle John, thank God! You are finally here," James said with relief. Holding his aching body, he slowly limped over.

The boys had all been beaten by Nina. To make matters worse, they were not even able to fight back.

Before this incident, he had suspected that John was too weak.

But now, he realized that John was not weak at all. The last time when Nina was drunk, he saw that John was safe and sound on the second day.

"Uncle John, please take Aunt Nina back with you as soon as possible. Look at what she has done to us. And don't forget to pay for our medical fees," James whined, feeling that his right arm had been dislocated. Even a slight swing of his arm would cause him immense pain.

John looked at the forlorn girl on the floor. Finally, he felt relaxed, and the cold stone in his heart slowly melted.

Since the last kidnapping incident, whenever Nina went to a place aside from the university and the North Yard, he would incessantly worry about her safety. He feared something terrible might happen to her.

Therefore, he sent Nine to follow her wherever she went. He specially placed a tracker on its collar in order to track Nina's location with ease and convenience.

pt her mouth shut and did not say anything.

John's heart softened at Nina's appearance.

He wondered if he had gone too far this morning. He knew that she was scared of dogs, so he sent Nine to follow her around. She was so scared when she saw Nine earlier, and jumped up and down in fear at the North Yard.

Added to that, he even threatened her to eat two plates of lemons, which made her face wrinkle in sour.

Thinking about how he had shamelessly punished Nina, he felt a little regretful for what he had done.

"Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?" Nina randomly blurted out an English sentence. Hearing her charming voice, John's throat tightened involuntarily.

After listening carefully, he realized that this sentence was part of the lyrics of the song "Lover."

Before John could open his mouth, Nina continued, "Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years? How long have we really known each other?"

Nina was still mad at Jessica's words. She told Nina that John and Nina had known each other for a very short period of time, whereas John and Vivian had known each other since they were little. She leaned over and kissed the corner of John's mouth.

"John, I'm jealous."
