Nina pressed her lips and said to Sarah, “Grandma, I’m fine p>

Sarah hugged Nina close and said softly, “Sweetheart, if you need to cry, just let it out. I know you’ve been carrying a lot these days, and you keep holding it in because you don’t want me to worry.
“But the more you force yourself to stay strong, the more I worry. It’s okay. Just cry if you want p>
Maybe those words hit Nina right in the heart. She finally couldn’t hold it anymore and started crying quietly in Sarah’s
arms.
Sarah felt Nina trembling and knew she was crying. She let out a quiet sigh.
Nina didn’t even dare cry out loud.
It broke Sarah’s heart, but she didn’t dare say anything more. She was afraid that if she kept going, Nina would never show weakness in front of her again.
Nina hadn’t cried for many years. No matter what happened, she never allowed herself to cry.
She didn’t want to seem weak, but today, in front of her grandmother, the emotions she had suppressed for so long finally
broke free.
After a while, Nina calmed down. When she lifted her head, a faint smile rested on her face, as if she had never cried.
She said, “Grandma, I’m heading to Betrico tomorrow and won’t be coming back anytime soon. Martin and the others have been dealt with. The rest of them may have their flaws, but none of them will harm the family.
“I’ll leave the household to you. As for the company, I’ll hand everything over to Dad. I won’t interfere anymore p>
She only stepped up and took charge of the Swanson family business because the whole place was falling apart. Now that everything was back on track, the rest no longer required her attention.
Besides, she truly could not handle everything anymore.
Sarah nodded. “Alright. Go take care of what you need to do. You don’t have to worry about the family. I will hold the Swanson family together. If you ever need us, we will support you fully p>
“Okay,” Nina said.
After breakfast, Nina headed over to the Carroll residence and gave Loren a quick update on Scarlet’s situation.
As for Miranda and Philip, she told them to stay in Riverdale and keep up with their studies.
After sorting everything out, Nina went home to pack.
She was going to the research institute this time, so clothes weren’t necessary, but she had to bring the compounds. There were a lot of things needed for the experimental drugs, and none of them could be rushed, so packing was a hassle.
It had just rained in Betrico, and the night was a little chilly. Suddenly, footsteps shattered the silence in the woods outside the northern suburb mental hospital.
Waverly was running like hell, constantly glancing back in panic,

Uniformed guards were right behind her, refusing to let up.
When Waverly glanced back, she slipped and fell hard. She landed straight in the mud, covered all over
Yet she couldn’t afford to stop because the footsteps behind her were closing in.
She scrambled to her feet and bolted forward, not daring to look back. Her eyes locked onto the mental hospital, which was just 300 feet away now.
As long as she made it inside the hospital, she would be safe.
Fueled by that hope, Waverly kicked it into high gear, sprinting for her life.
At last, she reached the entrance. Joy surged through her as she raised her hand to knock, and suddenly, two men rushed toward her from both sides.
Waverly turned her head and froze when she saw who they were. “Martin? Matthew? What are you doing here p>
