Chapter 852

Penulis: Faith Shaw
A glimmer of hope flickered in Ivy's eyes.

Micah's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Is this your way of getting to know someone through conflict?"

"Yes," Ivy replied, her fists clenched.

"Then talk to her yourself." Micah had no intention of helping. He had disliked Ivy from the moment they met, disapproving of both her behavior and personality.

Seeing the emerald bracelet on Nina's wrist had sparked a mix of hope and joy in him. He even suspected the test results might have been tampered with.

However, with Mr. Joker overseeing the entire process, it was impossible for anyone to alter the results. Moreover, nobody knew it was Micah who ordered the test.

Without another word, Micah turned away. Ivy watched his retreating figure, her eyes darkening. In front of Micah, she always felt so insignificant. She had already gone to great lengths to win his favor.

Even Pharaoh had arranged for them to have a meal together, yet Micah still treated her this way. Weren't they from the

    Nash took a deep breath, suppressing the pain in his heart as he tenderly caressed Nina's cheek. His heart ached deeply as he said, "Nina, I know you're not that kind of person. But life is full of uncertainties. You have a long life ahead of you, you know that? Quincy will be your best support."With Quincy supporting her career, Nina wouldn't have to worry at all. Nash had even arranged for Scarlett to be by her side. If she hadn't come to the Yaren territory, she would indeed have had the best life in the capital.But without him and their child, her life would become stagnant. There were things she wouldn't be able to understand, and she would always live with the guilt about Scott."Nina, I love you. If I could, I'd wish we'd never met," Nash said, holding her hand and kissing her forehead. Despite the loving words, the next moment he wished they had never met, so she wouldn't be in danger because of him.She didn’t believe that memories appear without reason, just as people

    Nina frowned, and Nash's expression wasn't any better. His eyes radiated hostility, and his gaze toward Micah was as sharp as a blade.Micah’s smile remained unaffected. "With war raging outside, you two are here making lifetime commitments? If you have the time, why not tell me where Wilfred is?"At the mention of Wilfred, the smile vanished from Micah's face, replaced by an icy, angry look. Micah could present a gentle image, but he could also be ruthless, like now. He was determined to find Wilfred, to understand why Wilfred had given Nina that bracelet, and to uncover the truth behind certain events. From initial hope to eventual coldness, Micah’s shift was clear.Nina recalled being knocked out by Mr. Joker not long ago. During that time, Micah must have completed his investigations. His sudden coldness towards her indicated that he had reached some conclusions. Nina let out a long sigh, feeling a sense of relief but also confusion. If she wasn’t Ivy, why did Wilfred give h

    Nina was the key figure, capable of influencing Nash and drawing out Wilfred. Although Micah had no intention of making Nash his enemy, his true target was Wilfred. Staying on guard, regardless of whether they were friend or foe, was wise.Nina weighed the pros and cons, tightening her grip slightly. She did not speak, but her silence spoke volumes."If you really need his contact information, I’ll stay, but they must leave," Nash said, shielding Nina, unwilling to leave her behind.Micah gave Nina a look, "Weren’t you asking me earlier? Don’t you care about Nash’s health?"If Nina stayed, Scarlett and Scott could leave, Nash would be safe, and Micah implied he could provide Nash with an antidote. It was a good deal."Yes, I’ll stay," Nina agreed, not waiting for Nash to speak. She was willing to do anything to ensure everyone's safety."No," Nash said firmly. He could not leave Nina behind, not even if it meant his own death.Micah chuckled, "Nash, you want to stay, but what b

    Nina's gun did not faze Micah at all. With a quick move, he twisted her wrist, and the black gun clattered to the ground. Micah gripped Nina's neck, "Nash, I know your team is here. I'll let you leave now. If you want Nina back, bring me Wilfred."In this dire situation, holding her captive alone was better than keeping them all. Nina shouted, "Nash, go!"Nash looked deeply at Nina, his eyes filled with reluctance, frustration, and unwillingness. But the explosions continued to rock the area. Reinforcements burst in."Captain York, headquarters ordered us not to engage with Pharaoh," James and Felix said as they located him."Nash, go!" Nina shouted again.Reluctantly, Nash was pulled away. Soon, the chaos subsided, leaving the place in shambles.Micah released Nina. "Interested in learning some martial arts?"Nina had tried to fight back when Micah grabbed her wrist. She knew basic self-defense, but with training, she could become formidable."I’m not interested," Nina s

    The phone rang for a long time before Wilfred finally picked up. His voice sounded weak. "What is it?""Nina is trapped at Pharaoh’s place," Nash said in a hoarse voice.Wilfred's voice suddenly rose, almost breaking, "What did you say?"After a moment of silence, his anger surged, "Nash, didn’t you promise to protect Nina?"And there was also Scarlett with Nina.Nash remained silent, his expression grave. His throat felt as if it were constricted, making it difficult to speak. Nina being in danger was undoubtedly his failure. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been poisoned, and they wouldn’t have lost their child."Micah specifically asked for you.""Understood," Wilfred replied curtly and hung up. He didn't say much, but Nash was certain that Wilfred wouldn't let anything happen to Nina....Nina stayed at Micah’s quarters no longer returning to the slave camp. She received the best food, and Micah even had new clothes sent to her. She understood that as long as Micah wanted to

    She wasn't aware of their inner thoughts or motives, but one thing was clear to Nina. This situation was far from simple.Ivy prepared some items and brought them to Micah. However, Micah's reaction to her actions was cold. "I don't need your things," he said bluntly, implying that she should take them away.Ivy looked at Micah with a hint of hope. "Brother, I prepared these for Nina. I want to see her.""She doesn't need these things," Micah replied, his tone still cold.If Ivy genuinely wanted to befriend Nina, she wouldn’t have brought her here. Ivy's intentions were clear to Micah that she wanted to target Nina, and these gifts were just a facade. He found his sister's actions disingenuous."Brother, you're not her. I understand your thoughts, but here with you, how could I harm her? I can't hurt her," Ivy insisted.Micah just gave her a cold glance and said nothing more. He then turned away, leaving Ivy frustrated. Her nails dug into her palms in frustration. She didn't be

    "Call the medic. I want to see if my kidney is a match for Scott," Nash declared. If his kidney was compatible, he planned to donate it to Scott, repaying the debt owed to him for Nina's sake.Felix was taken aback. "Captain, are you sure about this? Your own health...""I'm sure," Nash replied firmly.The medic arrived quickly, but without advanced hospital equipment, they could not determine compatibility here. The medic explained, "Given the current situation, Captain, making such a sacrifice now would be highly risky. If you do this, other allied forces and the small nations within the Yaren territory might seize the opportunity to attack. It would force our country to either retaliate or be seen as weak."Not retaliating would invite mockery, but retaliating would mean entering a world war.Nash was silent for a few seconds before responding decisively, "We can do it confidentially."The medic shook his head. "That's not possible. Too many eyes are watching. Unless the sta

    After a moment of silence, Nash replied hoarsely, "Nina is my wife." This wasn't a declaration of ownership.Scott had lost his memory, but the only thing he remembered was Nina. Although Nash had considered the worst outcome which was his own death and the possibility of Scott and Nina ending up together, he loved Nina too much to let her go.Scott didn't respond. Fragments of memories flashed through his mind, but they were too quick for him to grasp. His memories of Nina were blank. He didn't recognize Nash either. Nash's words left him at a loss for how to respond because he realized he had fallen for a married woman, and yet, Nash hadn’t lashed out at him. It was unbelievable!"I know you're confused. But you don't need to be. You knew Nina before me. You were her neighbor and her older brother figure," Nash explained. When he saw Scott happily talking with Nina, he had Quincy investigate Scott. At one point, he even suspected that Scott was Zac."And Nina?" Scott asked.

    But instead of feeling touched, Vera’s first reaction was nausea. A wave of discomfort surged up from her stomach, and Vera’s face paled. She bolted for the bathroom. Caleb followed quickly. “Are you feeling sick?” “I don’t think so. I’ve been eating normally—nothing too heavy or weird lately.” Vera clutched her stomach, just as confused as he was. Then, a possibility flashed through her mind. Caleb clearly had the same thought. Without a word, he turned and walked into their bedroom, returning moments later with a pregnancy test. Vera looked at him, stunned. “When did you buy that?” He responded matter-of-factly, “Better safe than sorry.” Vera was momentarily speechless. Five minutes later, she stepped out of the bathroom, her hand instinctively resting on her stomach, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief. It was positive. They had only been married for three months. How did this happen so fast?Caleb, on the other hand, remained composed—at le

    Of course, Vera wasn’t about to dump all her responsibilities on her assistant. That would be exploitation. She called her assistant into her office. “You’re twenty-five this year, right?” Her assistant blinked, confused. Wasn’t her age common knowledge? Why was Vera suddenly bringing it up? A thought struck her. Was this an arranged marriage situation? Her face immediately filled with silent refusal. “Miss Vera, I’m still young. I’m not thinking about marriage anytime soon.” Vera tapped her pen against the desk. “I’m not telling you to get married.” “Oh.” “I just want to offload some of the smaller daily tasks to you. You don’t have to run every minor document by me.”Her assistant instantly understood. A raise. After confirming she was on board, Vera gave her a salary bump and had her hire a few more assistants to distribute the workload. “If I don’t have time to handle everything, you guys will take care of it. If something’s too complicated, jus

    Vera could sense danger the moment the conversation turned in this direction. Her father had never questioned her about married life, and she was lucky enough to avoid nosy relatives. But just because she hadn’t experienced it firsthand didn’t mean she hadn’t seen it happen to others. Without hesitation, she abandoned the half-folded pastry in her hands. “I... uh, need to use the restroom.” Before she could escape, Mrs. Smith caught her wrist. “You and Caleb aren’t getting any younger,” she said matter-of-factly. “You should start thinking about kids—make sure you’re putting in the effort, hmm?” Vera left the kitchen visibly drained. Mrs. Smith was a wonderful mother-in-law, the kind who treated Vera like her own daughter. Despite knowing Vera came from a well-off family, she had still gifted them a house as a wedding present. Of course, Caleb already owned a place, but his mother had insisted. “That’s your house. This is the home I’m giving you as a weddi

    That undeniable possessiveness flickered in Caleb’s gaze—subtle yet impossible to ignore. It was the kind of look a powerful man might give his beloved in an old Hollywood film. And right now, the photographer felt like the unlucky bystander who had accidentally stumbled upon an intimate scene. His voice wavered slightly, caught up in his own imagination. “Mr. Smith, lift your eyes toward the camera.” Caleb’s sharp gaze flickered over, intense and commanding. The photographer instinctively pressed the shutter. They continued with several more poses, reviewing the shots as they went. Vera loved them all, but her favorite was still the vintage-inspired one. “How long until we get the final prints?” she asked. “Two to three days at most,” the photographer replied. “I’ll have them shipped directly to you.” Then, after a slight pause, he hesitated before making a request. “I actually have a personal favor to ask—would you both be open to letting us displa

    Vera was tempted. They had already taken plenty of wedding photos—several sets at the island, more at the wedding itself. But this wasn’t just any photo studio. It was privately booked and known for being one of the most prestigious studios in the city. Appointments here were nearly impossible to get. The fact that Caleb had managed to secure a session meant he had gone to great lengths to make it happen. If they were just going to take ordinary wedding pictures, it would be a waste of an opportunity. Still, she wasn’t sure what kind of shoot she wanted. The photographer, understanding her hesitation, pulled out a sample album. “You can take a look at our past work. These are some of the styles we’ve done.” Flipping through the pages, Vera saw an array of stunning concepts—each picture more breathtaking than the last. Then, one particular set caught her eye. A Golden Age Hollywood theme.It was classic, nostalgic, and beautifully atmospheric. “Ca

    After the wedding, Vera considered taking some time off for a honeymoon. But the thought quickly faded when she realized Caleb had been practically living at the hospital. With a sigh, she dismissed the idea. She was used to it, but to say she wasn’t disappointed would be a lie. Her assistant picked up on it. “Mrs. Smith, don’t you want to go on a honeymoon?” she asked one day. “One of my friends just got married, and she’s been obsessively researching destinations. “She even said a marriage without a honeymoon is already half a failure.” Vera froze mid-page, suddenly losing interest in the documents she had been reviewing. Her assistant hesitated, then offered a suggestion. “Why don’t you go visit Dr. Smith at work?“You seem… distracted. Maybe seeing him will help.” Vera snapped out of her daze, suddenly aware of how preoccupied she had been lately. It was embarrassing to admit, but she had been zoning out far too often—especially after coming hom

    Whenever they did this in the past, Caleb always maintained some restraint. But tonight—he didn’t hold back at all. He took her from the bedroom to the bathroom, then back to the bed, his searing kisses trailing every inch of her skin. The next morning, even as she woke up, Vera could still feel the lingering traces of last night’s intoxicating pleasure. As expected, she ended up taking the day off. It wasn’t until two days later that she finally returned to work. *Everyone at the company had already prepared for this. The moment Vera walked into the office, she was greeted with knowing smiles and teasing remarks. “Congratulations, Mrs. Smith!” “Newlywed bliss, huh?” “Three whole days off? Someone had a good time.” It didn’t take a genius to figure out what she had been up to. Obviously, her married life was going exceptionally well—so well that she had completely abandoned work for it. Under the weight of their mischievous stares, Vera barely k

    Yelena still hadn’t accepted Hunter, but he wasn’t giving up either and was relentlessly closing in on her. Knowing Yelena’s soft heart, Vera figured it was only a matter of time before she gave in. She let out a sigh. Her friend’s love life wasn’t something she could interfere with. Besides, Caleb had already given her a little inside scoop. “She came to the hospital for a follow-up a few days ago,” he had mentioned casually. “Hunter was the one who brought her.” Vera had clicked her tongue at the news. Yelena always seemed quiet and reserved, but apparently, she was full of surprises.*Time flew by in the blink of an eye.By mid-month, Caleb had rented out an entire vineyard and spent several days transforming it into the perfect wedding venue.When the day arrived, the celebration took place right there.The vineyard was sprawling and elegant, every bit as grand as any luxury hotel—if not better.

    “Did you plan this from the start?” Vera narrowed her eyes, feeling like she had just walked into a carefully laid trap. “Mm.” Caleb smiled, then leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Because yes—he had always been planning this. The biggest change in Vera’s life after the island proposal was the ring now sitting on her finger. It wasn’t just any ring. It was custom-made, something Caleb had specially ordered. She only found out by accident when she glanced at his phone one day and saw the purchase record. It had been ordered two months ago. Vera did the math and was stunned. He had been preparing for this long before she even started getting impatient. Her heart swelled with emotion. And as soon as Caleb’s parents heard that their son had finally proposed, they wasted no time pushing them to get the marriage license. *One day, Vera overheard Caleb’s mother lecturing him. “Your dad and I weren’t expecting much from you.
