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.
Nina scoffed coldly, "Are you sure you're giving me a chance?"Her eyes were icy.Micah chuckled without responding immediately. He pulled out a chair and sat in front of her. "Back then, you said you were looking for someone—Scott, Scarlett, and Nash. It's only been a short time, and now you don't even want Nash?"A sarcastic smile tugged at his lips."Whether I want Nash or not is none of your business. Micah, you've dug into my affairs thoroughly. I've told you everything you wanted to know. You once said you'd let me leave." Nina's lips tightened, her expression heavy.Of course, she wanted to leave. She had no desire to stay in this hellhole!Micah stared at Nina, his memories of his mother faded with time. From appearance alone, he couldn't determine if Nina resembled her.Moreover, he had no photos of his mother, and his father often wore a mask, hiding his face.The only blood test they had wasn't conclusive. Yet, Nina claimed that the string of emerald beads she had wa
Micah chuckled silently.Nina knew very well that Micah wasn't being contradictory. He was testing her.At this moment, Micah was carefully observing her. She remained composed."Nina, you're very smart, and you've figured some things out. I just want to know if you're Ivy," Micah said, dropping the smile.At this point, Micah didn't want to beat around the bush. He just wanted to confirm this one thing. Nothing else mattered to him.Nina felt a chill in her heart.She was aware of everything that had happened, but without solid evidence, she couldn't be certain. She had been avoiding the truth. But now, even though they already had the test results, Micah still insisted on this.Nina found it ridiculous. "You identify your sister based on a string of beads? Those beads were in Wilfred's possession before. Is Wilfred your sister?"If you're still curious, why don't you go ask your Ivy?"Nina knew how to be sarcastic."I don't like her," Micah admitted.Ivy had been missing f
Micah trusted his instincts, but Nina did not. She felt a chill down her spine. She had only just managed to shake off her gloom and convince herself she had no connection to the Pharaoh. Now Micah was bringing all this up again.She didn't want to do the test!"I'm not doing it!"Nina was extremely resistant.But how could she compete with Mr. Joker?Mr. Joker swiftly restrained her with one hand and, using a syringe with the other, drew a vial of blood from her neck.Nina clutched her neck, her gaze at Micah growing colder. "You truly are the Pharaoh's son!"Just as ruthless, just as willing to impose his will on others.Micah's lips moved slowly. "If you had cooperated, none of this would have happened. Nina, getting a new result is good for both of us."With that, Micah stood up and gave Mr. Joker a look.Mr. Joker immediately understood.To ensure the authenticity of the results, the tests would be conducted in three separate batches, including a comparison between Mi
Ivy was feeling triumphant. At that moment, she saw Nina's compliance and sensed the fear deep within her. But her triumph was short-lived. A hand grabbed her wrist with a fierce grip, and the next second, she was shoved aside.Micah strode over, standing in front of Nina, his eyes cold and piercing as he glared at Ivy. "What are you doing?""Brother, she was bullying me, completely disregarding me," Ivy cried, her voice thick with emotion.She was quite the actress, her eyes welling up with tears almost instantly.Micah's lips twisted in a mocking smile. "Is that so?""Of course," Ivy nodded.But seeing Micah's expression, her confidence wavered. "Brother, you don't believe me?""I know exactly what kind of person Nina is and why you're targeting her. But this is the last time. From now on, stay away from here."Micah's voice was icy and precise, each word clear and cutting.Nina remained expressionless.But to Ivy, Nina looked smug.Clenching her fists, Ivy couldn't unde
Nina chuckled lightly. "Of course I know. You have your agenda, and I can't stop you. But don't let your sister interfere with me again.""Alright."Micah could have ignored her, but he still responded.Nina had found Scarlett and Scott, so she technically didn't need to go back to the slave camp. But now she said, "I'm not restricted, right? I need to go to the slave camp to find someone."Micah looked at her. "Don't you still have the black card?"The black card given to Nina had never been taken back. She was free to move about as she pleased.Nina pursed her lips and said softly, "Then let Mr. Joker come with me."Who knew if that crazy Ivy might attack again? While she still wanted to live, she had to keep herself safe."Alright." Micah was truly accommodating to her every request.Nina went to the slave camp and found the girl she had seen before."Can I take her to my old room?" Nina asked Mr. Joker.From Mr. Joker's perspective, Nina was just bringing along a fifteen
