Meanwhile, Nina had changed into a new dress and applied some lipstick, looking much more refreshed. She grabbed her purse, ready to go out.

Just as she stepped outside, James's car pulled up at the entrance.

He quickly got out of the car. "Ma'am," James called out.

Nina was a bit surprised. "Didn't you leave with Nash?"

James smiled broadly. "Captain sent me here. He wanted to make sure I handed the antidote directly to you."

He produced the well-preserved vial of the antidote.

Nina took the vial from him, even more surprised. "It's ready?"

"Yes, as soon as Captain got it, he sent me straight here," James said excitedly.

"Alright."

Holding the vial, Nina felt a mix of emotions. The shadow of the poisoning still loomed large in her mind. She had not expected the antidote to be ready so soon. It all felt almost surreal.

Scott was still abroad, searching for an antidote for her. Could it really be this easy to find one?

Though she didn’t voice it, she still worried about Sco

    Nash furrowed his brows, clearly running out of patience. "Is this the important matter you wanted to discuss?" "No," Miranda replied softly. "This is my most important matter. Once I've said my piece, I'll get to what's most important for you."Nash did not respond verbally, but his eyes communicated to Miranda that his patience was wearing thin. She sighed softly, a bitter smile on her lips. "When have I ever lied to you? Just listen to me, and you'll understand."Miranda's feelings for Nash were genuine. She might have deceived many people and committed countless unscrupulous acts, but Nash was the one person she had always treated sincerely."In your mind, you think I rescued you from the organization, but it was you who saved me," Miranda began. "I took advantage of your kindness, your sense of duty as a soldier, trying to erase my own dark past. But no man had ever treated me the way you did. The first thing you did when you woke up was ask for me. 'Where is Miranda?' you

    They had not fulfilled their duties as parents and grandfather, so why were they so harsh and unloving towards her? She hated them. Her downfall was entirely their fault!"No matter what you believe, those are the facts," Nash stated."No! They never loved me. Only you did. You love me!" Miranda clung to the bars. She refused to accept that Nash's kindness was just an obligation, following his grandfather's wishes."Grandfather was a rational man," Nash continued. "He knew the difference between right and wrong. The York family wasn't left to William but to an outsider like me because he knew the family couldn't be destroyed."This was why Miranda could never return to the York family. Her malicious intent was clear to Grandfather. Even if he knew she was his granddaughter, he had to think about the family's well-being. Revealing her identity would have been disastrous.For Miranda, this was a heavy blow. She had lived, believing in Nash's love, confident he would fall for her a

    Nina did not want him to feel guilty. He had already done everything he could for her. Life was unpredictable, and she had accepted it with a calm heart. She just hoped he would not carry too much burden.Hearing her words, Nash felt even more helpless. He could save everyone else, but he couldn't save her, and that feeling of powerlessness was overwhelming. He didn't want her to see his tear-filled eyes, so he hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead, trying to alleviate his own pressure and pain. He wished he could bear her pain, even if it meant suffering twice as much.Nina was gently placed on the hospital bed, holding Nash's hand to give him and herself the strength to carry on. She was determined to survive. She would survive.Soon, Wilfred arrived. This was a hospital that Nash had invested in, equipped with the most advanced facilities. But Nash knew that only Wilfred could save Nina, so he did not let the doctors in, waiting instead for Wilfred's arrival."How

    If it were the old him, he might have been this selfish. After all, he did not want Nina to have anyone else in her heart. But Wilfred was different. Wilfred’s dedication to Nina was selfless, making it impossible for anyone to harden their heart against him.Wilfred looked back at Nash. "You don't want her to be sad, right? If she remembers, it will break her heart."Nash pressed his lips together and changed the subject. "Do you have any family? Would you like me to help you find them?"Wilfred and Scarlett had grown up in the organization, never knowing where home was. Nash wondered if Wilfred missed having a family."No need," Wilfred replied without hesitation. "Wherever I am, that’s home."With that, Wilfred stood up, hands in his pockets, and said, "Don't rely on others for the cure. I'll find a way. Just take good care of Nina. However, there is something strange...""What is it?" Nash asked."Pharaoh's poison is potent, but it hasn't fully invaded Nina's body. Her bab

    "I need to see Nina!" Scarlett could not wait any longer in the hospital room."No way. You're a prisoner. You can't leave the room," James replied."You can follow me, can't you? Do you think I can run in my current state?" Scarlett could not understand his stubbornness.James was firm. "Without orders from above, you can't take a single step out of this room."Seeing he was unmoved, Scarlett's expression hardened. "What if I insist on seeing her?"James started to respond, "Then I'm sorry, but—"Before he could finish, Scarlett slapped him hard across the face.James was taken aback by her fierceness. He had not expected her to get physical. He had been disciplined before, but never hit by a woman."You shrew..."Scarlett, balancing on her crutch, kicked at him again. She was not one to back down easily. She had tolerated him long enough, with all the rules and strict treatment. Being cooped up in the hospital room was driving her crazy. She just wanted to see Nina, but he

    "You..." James was at a loss for words. His good intentions were completely misunderstood, and no matter what he said, it would be wrong in her eyes. He felt a bit aggrieved, never having dealt with such a difficult woman before.Scarlett, not wanting to argue further, turned to Felix and asked, "You said I could see Nina. I'm injured and can't escape even if I wanted to. Even if I'm guilty, I should be allowed to visit her until the charges are official. I've cooperated with your investigation. You could at least grant me this one request."Felix nodded in agreement and said to James, "Let's cut her some slack. Even Nash hasn't objected. We should show some humanity."Reluctantly, James agreed. "Fine."Scarlett calmed down, realizing they were willing to cooperate. Although she left the organization, she did not have many people in this world that she truly cared about. The only ones she worried for and valued were those few people.She would not run away.

    Nash looked at Scarlett and asked calmly, "What kind of fate do you think awaits you?"Scarlett gave a bitter smile. "I don't know if I'll die or end up in prison. I've accepted my fate since I'm not exactly a good person.""What if there's a chance for you to atone for your actions?"Scarlett looked up with a glimmer of hope. "Is that really possible?"Nash told her, "Anything that benefits the country can be considered atonement."Scarlett's eyes filled with a mix of hope and doubt. "But what use could I be? Other than fighting and doing bad things, I have no other skills."Nash reassured her, "You have value. There are still many people waiting for you to help them. Focus on recovering first."Scarlett looked at Nash, feeling a surge of hope. His words were like a ray of light, showing her that her life had value and purpose. She could still make a positive impact.It wasn't as dark as she had imagined. This gave her a newfound confidence and excitement. She had always hoped

    Sawyer laughed upon hearing Nash's words and said, "You seem surprisingly normal. I guess you got the antidote from Seth? Wait, that's impossible. Seth couldn't have developed a real antidote."His eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Nash, puzzled. "Haven't you noticed any physical changes?"Bang!Nash slammed his hands onto the table, creating a loud noise, and glared at Sawyer with cold, sharp eyes. "Say something useful!"Sawyer, noticing Nash's bloodshot eyes, smirked. "You didn't get the antidote."The veins on Nash's arms bulged, and his joints cracked as he clenched his fists in frustration.Recognizing the tension, Sawyer decided to cooperate. "Pharaoh never shows his true face. Neither Seth nor I have seen it. Those who have probably aren't alive anymore. As for Seth and I turning against each other... that's not really accurate. It was all about our own interests. He wanted a piece of my pie, so I threatened him. When we couldn't come to an agreement, I ended up as a prison

    At the time, Wilfred had already guessed that this had everything to do with Harley and his mentor, Professor Zeller. “You and your so-called association don’t focus on benefiting patients. Instead, you spend all your time trying to monopolize everything. And now you want to turn me into one of you? Keep dreaming.” Wilfred’s tone was filled with disdain, his eyes cold with contempt. The smug smile on Harley’s face slowly faded. With a sneer, Harley’s voice turned bitter. “You know what I despise most about you? That self-righteous, holier-than-thou attitude of yours. I was offering you advice, but if you don’t want to hear it, fine. There’s nothing more to say. After all, if the surgery fails—” Before he could finish the word “fail,” the surgical light outside the operating room flicked off. Clack!The sliding doors parted, and Karina burst through, her face flushed with emotion. She didn’t even notice Harley. Her focus zeroed in on Wilfred. “Wilfred!” Her voice trem

    As the surgery approached, Karina worked overtime, meticulously double-checking for any possible oversights. Before stepping into the operating room, she took a deep breath."Karina, you’ve got this!" a nurse beside her encouraged.This surgery was particularly significant, and the assistants and nurses weren’t from her hospital. They were brought in by the project, specifically by Harley’s team. Without a single familiar face around, Karina felt a twinge of anxiety. Opportunities to lead surgeries were already rare for her, let alone under circumstances like this, with no one she could truly rely on.But there was no turning back now. Gritting her teeth, Karina donned her gloves. As she was about to enter the operating room, her peripheral vision caught sight of a figure standing silently in the distance. It was Wilfred. His steady gaze met hers, his eyes carrying something profound she couldn’t quite decipher. When their eyes locked, a faint smile curved his lips.In th

    “Ava.”A deep voice cut through the air, and Karina turned to see a man in a black suit, wearing a hat and a mask, striding toward them. But the man’s white eyelashes and distinctive eyes were all Karina needed to recognize him. He was her albino patient, Xavier Jasper!Xavier also didn’t expect to run into both Wilfred and Karina here. “It’s you two,” he exclaimed in surprise.Wilfred’s gaze sharpened as he calmly addressed Xavier. “Keep your sister in line. Apologize.”Before Xavier could respond, Ava stepped forward and, to everyone’s surprise, said, “I’m sorry. I was too impulsive. Please forgive me.” Karina was taken aback by how quickly Ava apologized. Even Xavier, who knew his sister’s arrogant tendencies well, looked stunned.Karina nodded, her tone steady but firm. “I forgive you, but that doesn’t mean everyone else will. You should work on your attitude. Stop acting so entitled everywhere you go.” With that, Karina turned on her heel and walked away. Although Xavie

    ”Those were her meticulously compiled notes, the result of hours of hard work—and now they were ruined just like that?” Karina thought.“I’ve never wronged you. Why would you do something like this?” she demanded, her voice trembling with indignation. Something about the situation felt off, and Karina’s sharp intuition told her this wasn’t a simple misunderstanding.Under Karina’s intense gaze, the nurse finally broke down, revealing Ava’s role in orchestrating the whole thing. Karina’s anger turned into a mix of rage and incredulous amusement. “Really? Rich people—did they all enjoy throwing money around like this?”All this trouble, just to ruin her hard-earned work over a seat?Her carefully compiled notes were gone, and there wasn’t a second copy. Arguing wouldn’t bring them back, but Ava wasn’t going to let this slide without giving someone a piece of her mind.Finding Ava wasn’t difficult. In fact, Ava didn’t even try to avoid her. She seemed to be waiting, eager to see

    Just as Ava was about to cause a scene, the sound of steady footsteps filled the room. Wilfred strode in, his white coat enhancing his composed, almost ethereal aura. Ava shot Karina a glare, silently committing her to memory, then begrudgingly found another seat. Wilfred’s gaze swept across the room, pausing ever so briefly on Karina before moving on. She wasn’t sure if it was real or just her imagination. “Today, we’ll discuss cellular structures. I’ll start with an example from my doctoral thesis,” Wilfred announced, adjusting the projector. To Karina’s surprise, he was an exceptional lecturer—clear, engaging, and far more comprehensible than many university professors. She listened intently, taking meticulous notes. Yvette peeked over at Karina’s notebook, wide-eyed at the densely packed writing. “Karina, when you eventually get promoted, land a big raise, or go for your doctorate, I promise I won’t be jealous. Truly.”Karina chuckled. “If you need these notes, I can len

    Karina glanced at the time and quickly gestured for Yvette to sit down as well. However, barely had they taken their seats when a haughty woman marched up to Karina, her sharp gaze fixed on the chair she was sitting on. “You, get up. I want that seat!” Karina frowned, studying the unfamiliar woman. She didn’t recognize her from the hospital, but the designer jewelry around her neck and the branded bag on her arm screamed wealth. She seemed like the kind of entitled socialite who rarely had to fight for anything, let alone a seat.Unsure if the woman was trying to pick a fight or genuinely wanted the chair, Karina pointed to the open seats nearby. “There are plenty of seats over there. Take one of those.”Then, she lowered her head, dismissing the woman entirely.The woman’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Excuse me? I said I want your seat. Get up. Now!” Not content with words alone, she reached out to pull Karina up by force. Karina, now genuinely angry, shook her off. “I was h

    Karina looked slightly surprised. She distinctly remembered that Wilfred wasn’t a drinker. “I thought you avoided alcohol?” Wilfred, ever the epitome of control and composure, preferred to steer clear of anything that dulled his sharpness. Back when they worked at the Birkham Central Hospital, she had seen him reject bottles of expensive wine from people trying to curry favor with him. He sipped his tea slowly before replying, “You’ve started at a new hospital. As your former mentor, I haven’t given you a proper congratulatory gift yet.” “This is… for me?” Karina asked, her voice tinged with disbelief. Wilfred’s gaze was steady as he replied, “Don’t like it? If not, I can send it back and we can find something else later.” He raised his hand to call the server over. “Wait! No need. I like it a lot,” Karina interjected hastily, stopping him in his tracks. The idea of going gift shopping with him later felt uncomfortably like a date. And knowing Wilfred’s personality, w

    Wilfred’s gaze swept over her without a word, and Karina climbed into the car on her own. When choosing her seat, she instinctively moved toward the back, but before she could get in, Wilfred spoke, “Sit in the front. It’s more convenient.” Karina hesitated briefly. Not wanting to appear overly particular, she complied and took the passenger seat. Although there was a saying that the front seat was reserved for a girlfriend, Wilfred didn’t strike her as someone who cared about such details. She decided to pretend she didn’t know. After buckling her seatbelt, a phone suddenly appeared in front of her. She looked up, her face full of confusion and surprise. Wilfred glanced sideways at her, one hand on the steering wheel, the car still stationary. “I haven’t decided on a restaurant yet. I’ll be driving soon. You pick something.” Karina took the phone. As Wilfred drove, she scrolled through the options, narrowing it down to three restaurants. But her mild indecisivenes

    Karina forced a smile. “Really, it’s fine. You all go ahead.”Yvette pouted, her disappointment clear as she relented. “Alright then.”Once the others had left, Karina tried to refocus on work. She pulled out her research materials, determined to get something done. Yet, no matter how hard she tried, her thoughts kept wandering. The cheerful chatter from outside finally snapped her out of it, making her realize just how distracted she had been.Karina gave a wry smile and muttered to herself, “This is why you don’t get ahead of yourself. Seriously, one of life’s biggest delusions.”For a fleeting moment, she had thought Wilfred might feel something for her too. But it was better this way, she told herself—better to wake up now than to fall in too deep later. Romance wasn’t her strong suit; focusing on her career was safer.While others might drown their heartbreak in food or a night out, Karina chose the most grueling outlet: work. It might be exhausting, but it was effective. S
