MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 3 - Season 6 Episode 40

Within half a month, the news got about that Jett divorced Ruby.

Ruby was humiliated. To take revenge on Jett, she deliberately exposed a lot of dirty things he had done. In the end, the scandals forced Jett into hiding. Nobody knew where he went. Vicente took advantage of the situation with John’s guidance. Eventually, she turned into the only person on C Island who could compete with Leon.

Vicente had fulfilled her promise and put the interests of the royal family above everything else. Although C Island’s turbulent political undercurrents had not calmed down, it seemed to have reached a stable balance.

There would always be another Jett. Everyone had their pursuit, and there would always be those who would do anything to attain fame and fortune.

Vicente could not let down her guard, so she was twice as busy now as before.

She had been doing a lot of interviews, both on television and for the papers, and she had been attending quite a number of banquets, attracting the attention of tens of thousands of people. Her mother’s condition had also been stable. Occasionally, she would sober up, so Vicente took her back to the castle along with her doctor.

Vicente should have been spending her days smiling and celebrating her victory over Jett. She should have laughed at the latest reports about him, but she did not.

There was an indescribable feeling in her heart, so unfathomable and complicated that she could not put a finger on it. She kept wondering why Jett, who had always fought for fame and fortune, was willing to do this for a woman.

‘I wonder the same for John. I couldn’t understand why a well-known figure like him would give up everything to stay by Nina’s side.

I know it is love, but I still don’t understand. Perhaps Jett was right. A person like me would never understand.’

Looking at the endless night, Vicente felt that Jett was stupid for letting himself lose everything for love.

And it was because of Jett’s stupidity that she got what she wanted.

On the contrary, John decided to stay on C Island not because he was stupid. When the time was right, he would go back to Lexingport City with Nina, Van, and Don. He would be king of that city again.

The fight of more than a decade between Vicente and Jett had finally come to an end. The hospital had made some progress in the study of M.C., which was almost a breakthrough in technology.

The scorching May sun nestled high above the cloudless sky.

The dazzling sunlight made people unable to fully open their eyes.

Wearing a pair of black sunglasses, Nina walked into the hospital with Don in her arms. Next to her was John with Van in his arms. They looked like a lovely family of four.

In the hospital’s conference room sat the expert team, Bruce, Anne, Leon, Vicente, and Noah. Everyone looked very serious.

The experts upfront were explaining the latest research data. They were halfway done when Nina, John, and the kids arrived.

The room suddenly fell silent, and they turned their heads to the newcomers.

John and Nina should be the most eager to see the results, but they showed up late.

As soon as Bruce saw his grandsons, it was difficult for him to keep a serious look. He stood up with a smile.

“Give me the baby.”

“Okay.” John carefully handed over Van to Bruce.

Behind him, Nina smiled, “Dad, how about Don?”

“I also want to hold him, but I don’t have four hands. Let me just hold Van for a while, and then I’ll hold Don. That should be fair enough.” Smiling from ear to ear, Bruce reached out his fingers, and Van grasped them tightly.

“Give me Don.” Anne’s face was as cold as snow, but her eyes were as gentle as moonlight on a calm river.

Nina put Don in Anne’s arms and said, “Thank you, Mom.”

Anne’s heart ached. Nina was so casual with her father, yet she was so polite with her mother. Anne also wanted Nina to act like a spoiled child in front of her, but it was just a dream.

She had always been a strict mother to her and failed to foster a kind and meaningful mother-and-daughter relationship. Now it was too late. It was normal now for Nina not to be close to her.

She wanted to bond with Nina, but she didn’t know where to start. The only way was to bond with Van and Don.

“Don’t mention it. Don looks like a girl, just like you when you were little,” Anne smiled.

Faintly returning her mother’s smile, Nina pulled out a chair and sat beside her brother. As her bodyguard, John stood behind her. In the eyes of outsiders, it was a great honor for him to be able to be here.

When Nina sat down, she saw a book of Higashino Kuigo in front of her entitled Who Killed Her.

She glanced at it momentarily and did not care much about it.

Looking up at the data on the screen and the young doctor beside her, Nina smiled and said, “Please continue, Professor Zhu.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Kevin Zhu was thirty-seven years old and well known and respected in the medical field. It took Leon a lot of effort to invite him here as part of the expert team.

After two months of tireless research, Kevin and his team had finally lived up to everyone’s expectations.

“We found a kind of virus in Princess Nina’s blood. It can destroy the human body’s immune system. It can also stimulate the nervous system. If Princess Nina is under great pressure, she will fall into a coma. There will be signs of memory loss and disorder.

However, the virus’ stimulation of the brain also resulted to astounding cerebral development. As for the extent of that development, we are not entirely sure yet.”

Kevin stopped, looked at Nina and the book in front of her, and said with a smile, “Your Highness, please take the book in front of you. It has 250 pages in total. Start reading from the third page. Please finish it in ten minutes.” Nina was stunned. ‘It turns out that this book is prepared for me.’

Everyone looked at Kevin and then at Nina in confusion.

“All right.” Nina picked up the book and opened it on the third page.

When she started reading, Kevin started timing her. Nina had just finished reading the last page when the clock struck the ten-minute mark. “Very well. Next, let’s test Princess Nina’s memory.” Kevin walked over with a smile, took the book from Nina’s hand, turned a page casually, and read, “Kaga mentioned something, a Band-Aid. Kaga said that the murderer used it when he glued the wire to Izumi’s body, and when the body was found…”

“…the Band-Aid had fallen off,” Nina blurted out. Kevin was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled, “Yes, exactly. Which page is this paragraph on?”

“Page 101,” Nina quickly answered, startling herself.

Kevin was so excited and overjoyed that he could not help asking, “Which lines?” Everyone’s eyes were now focused on Nina. After reading a book in ten minutes, she could accurately pick up its content right down to the page number, which meant she had a good memory. But she couldn’t possibly remember the lines, could she?

Nina did not immediately answer. She closed her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, “The ninth, tenth, and eleventh lines.” She opened her eyes. She was not sure if she got it right.

All eyes on Nina turned to Kevin.

He set the book on the table between Nina and Leon. “That’s correct, Your Highness.”

All of a sudden, the room erupted in a collective gasp of delight and astonishment. Even the members of the expert team did not expect that.

Leon took the book and read it. His sister indeed answered all the questions correctly, but he was not happy. Anxiety twisted his formerly calm face.

“I don’t need a freakishly smart sister with an amazing memory, I just want her to be healthy and out of danger”.
