Nina held the flowers close, inhaling their scent. Soon, Nash approached her, his eyes filled with tenderness. "It's a shame we don't have a phone to capture this moment," he said. "Now I understand why people like to take pictures everywhere. They want to freeze these beautiful moments."Nina chuckled. "Look at our situation. After everything we've been through, my perspective has changed."She had always been cautious, working as Nash's secretary, strictly adhering to his instructions, and hiding their relationship from everyone. Now, with all they had endured, the thought of taking photos seemed trivial.Nash smiled and sat down beside her, pulling her into his embrace. "Nina, I know I've let you down in so many ways. I'm working hard to take care of everything so I can be the Nash you deserve.""Mm, I know," Nina murmured, leaning into his chest as they watched the sunset together.Gently stroking her hair, Nash said, "Nina, Micah and the Pharaoh are here. The Yaren tribe ha
Nina had never seen the Pharaoh without his mask. But now, the Pharaoh stood beside Micah, his eyes deeply fixed on her.She averted her gaze. "I don’t plan on returning to the Yaren tribe," she said calmly, not intending to acknowledge the Pharaoh or her connection to the tribe. Her tone was cold and detached.Nash put his arm around her shoulder. Though he said nothing, his determined look made it clear that he supported her decision completely. He would stand by her no matter what.The Pharaoh, trembling, took a step towards Nina. "Ivy…" he croaked, his voice choked with emotion.Nina waved him off. "My name is Nina," she corrected. His voice made Nina feel uncomfortable, as if a heavy stone was pressing on her chest, making it hard to breathe. Emotions and attitudes can change over time, but this reunion was difficult for both of them.The Pharaoh had imagined many scenarios of their reunion, including the possibility of Nina's coldness. But now, facing it, he couldn't deny ho
"We would like to stay here for a while," Micah proposed, seizing the opportunity.Nash understood the real reason behind Micah and the Pharaoh wanting to stay. They hoped that proximity would allow them to win Nina over. Before Nash could respond, Micah gestured for him to follow outside. Without a word, Nash signaled his subordinate to take care of the Pharaoh while he and Micah stepped out.Once outside the tent, Micah spoke frankly, "My father was deceived by Seth. He truly cares for Ivy. Given how close you and Nina are, could you help mediate between them?"Micah looked at Nash with a hopeful glint in his eyes. Nash had not forgotten how Micah had helped both him and Nina during their time in the Yaren tribe. Without Micah's assistance, their safe exit would have been impossible.However, Nash was not Nina. He could not make decisions on her behalf. He had already done that once previously and faced her resentment. After everything they had been through, he could not risk h
Wilfred spoke slowly, his gaze growing more resolute. He suddenly remembered Ivy from years ago, how warm and beautiful her smile was. Most importantly, she had once brought warmth and protection to him. Without her, he would not have survived. Even though his life was nearing its end, being by Ivy's side was the greatest comfort to him now.Pharaoh listened to Wilfred and then realized something. After a moment of silence, he spoke softly, "Don't forget, I was the one who turned you into a healer."Pharaoh could make Wilfred a healer, and he could also just as easily restore him to a normal state, allowing him to live a regular life. He now understood that those experiments only led to more madness. To him, his children were the most important."Really?" Wilfred's eyes showed a glimmer of joy and excitement. When he had left, it was because he knew his life was nearing its end. Although he wanted to stay with Nina, he had no identity or healthy body and didn't want to bring her s
Nina did not like being called Ivy, so she would not be called that. Nina did not say anything, her lips pressed together tightly as she looked at Micah with deep confusion in her eyes. "What do you want from me?"Regarding the name, Micah understood her preference. Nina did not believe he would listen to this and ignore everything else she had said.Micah's voice was low and husky as he began, "Nina, I know you feel resistant. Our father did many bad things before, but it doesn't change that he genuinely cares for us. After you went missing, he searched for you tirelessly. No, he never stopped looking for you all these years."You don't know how much love he tried to make up for by showering it on Miranda when he thought she was you..."Nina raised her hand, not wanting to hear more. But Micah did not stop."You probably don't know this either. Our father, driven by ambition, conducted many experiments, turning Wilfred into a healer. But now he says he can make Wilfred normal a
"Get down!" Micah shouted, immediately pulling Nina to the ground.The entire camp quickly went on high alert. Nash began issuing orders, and Wilfred rushed to Nina's side, while Scarlett and Scott joined the main force to counter the attack. Micah tried to use the chaos to take Nina away, but Wilfred blocked him. "Mr. Micah, Nash specifically instructed that during an attack, it's best not to move around. Besides, Nina has made it clear she doesn't want any ties with the Yaren tribe."Micah's eyes flashed with anger. He was about to retort when Nina stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, her face dark with suspicion. "Did you orchestrate this attack?"Why else would Micah be standing there so calmly, ready to take her away? They talked about bringing her back to the Yaren tribe, but they had not mentioned anything about giving Nash the antidote for his poison."It wasn't me," Micah said slowly, his expression resolute. He despised war and wished to transform his country into
Micah thought he could distract Nina and take her away, but his plan was thwarted by Nash's men who discovered him. He had hoped to use the chaos to take Nina back to the Yaren tribe, but it was now impossible. This failure was entirely due to Wilfred's actions.Wilfred opened his mouth to speak, but before he could, Micah interrupted, "You better find a way to bring Nina back to the Yaren tribe!"...Two hours later."Something's wrong! Something's wrong!"The urgent cries spread throughout the camp, alarming everyone. Nina quickly ran out of her tent, seeing many wounded people returning from the outside. She froze, not seeing Nash among them, nor James or Felix. Then, a dust-covered figure caught her eye.Seeing the desperate look in James's eyes, Nina's heart raced, "James! Where is Nash? Why isn't he here?"At her words, James's eyes filled with sorrow. He lowered his head, "Miss Nina, Captain, he..."Nina's legs gave out, and she collapsed backward. Thankfully, Wilfred
Wilfred grabbed Nina. "Ivy, it's been days. You've searched the river multiple times and haven't found Nash. Felix is more experienced, and even he couldn't find him. I'm afraid..."Wilfred wanted to say that after so many days, if Nash had not been found, he was likely dead. People would not come back from the dead. Even if it was hard to accept, it had to be faced.Nina refused to listen. "Don't tell me that. As long as I haven't seen his body, I won't believe he's dead."All of you, go back! Even if it kills me, I have to find him!" Nina was distraught and on the verge of breaking down. As long as Nash's body was not found, there was still hope he was alive.With the situation so dire, she could not risk anyone else. And if Seth was targeting her, she did not care about living anymore.Wilfred had no choice but to knock Nina out and bring her back to the camp.Micah was already waiting. He wanted to take Nina back to the Yaren tribe, but Wilfred would not hand her over."Mr.
