Chapter 759
She was still talking.
Nina, having once carried a child for ten months and briefly been a mother, understood the bond between a mother and her child. The woman had acted fiercely out of desperation for her child. The child was innocent.
Nina couldn't bear to watch anymore. She picked up the child and performed the Heimlich maneuver. Initially, there was no response, but then the child began to cough violently, and finally, the piece of bread causing the choking was expelled.
The woman's eyes filled with tears of joy. She clasped her hands together and said, "Thank you, thank you..."
Even though Nina couldn't understand, she felt the gratitude.
"I only did it for your child," Nina said flatly, with July translating for her.
However, she hadn't expected such a simple emergency procedure to attract the attention of the soldiers. They quickly surrounded Nina.
"Come with us," the soldier who spoke broken English commanded.
"No! You can't take her!" Scarlett jumped in front of Nina to shield her, along with the woman and the children Nina had helped.
"July, translate!" Scarlett shouted. July began translating her words in real-time.
"We're from Birkham. You should consider whether our powerful country will allow you to take us by force. We have already reported our presence to the embassy here. We are government employees. If something happens to us, you will face serious consequences!"
The soldiers exchanged glances. Seeing the determined expressions on Nina and Scarlett's faces, they hesitated, then eventually turned and drove away.
However, Nina could sense that she was still being watched.
As soon as they left, Scarlett
hurriedly called the driver, urging him to get there quickly. The car she had arranged still hadn't arrived, and she feared more trouble could arise.
The woman knelt before Nina, bowing her head. July translated, "Miss Nina, her name is Moana Tafoya and she apologizes for her earlier behavior. She thanks you for feeding and saving her child. She is willing to become your servant to make amends." NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Nina hadn't anticipated this twist. She didn't need Moana's apology or a servant. However, she did need a local guide.
"Would you be willing to be my guide?" Nina asked.
Through the recent events, Nina realized July was quick-witted and an excellent translator, speaking fluent English. Someone like July who was educated and had

relatively better living conditions,
would be helpful.
But Nina had no idea where Scott and Nash were. They might be in more dangerous, remote areas of Yaren with complex terrain.
"Miss Nina, where do you want to go?" Moana asked.
"Yaren," Nina said slowly. Moana's eyes widened with fear, and Nina noticed her reaction. It was clear that Yaren was not a simple place.
"If you agree to be my guide, I will compensate you accordingly, ensuring a better life for you and your child."
Moana looked at her child and then nodded in agreement.
Just then, the car Scarlett had arranged finally arrived. Fortunately, it was a black minivan, spacious enough for everyone.
However, just as they left, another car arrived at a high speed.
