Nina suddenly looked up and saw Scarlett, her eyes filled with tears. Scarlett's clothes were tattered, her face marked with the grime of battle, and she looked exhausted.As their eyes met, Scarlett quickly ran to Nina, grasping her hand. "Nina, I'm back. I heard about Captain..."She had gone out with the soldiers to fight but had been caught in a blast, shielded by another soldier. After several days of unconsciousness, she had finally regained all her memories. Returning to the camp, she learned of Nash's sacrifice. Knowing how much Nina loved Nash, she rushed to her side, understanding that Nina would be devastated by the news.Seeing Scarlett, Nina's tears flowed uncontrollably. She was not one to cry easily, but now she could not hold it back. The man she loved most was gone forever, and she had never fully appreciated him when he was alive.Nina's grief turned into violent coughing, and to her shock, she coughed up blood. Scarlett was frightened, but Wilfred quickly han
Scarlett did not respond immediately. It felt as if she had swallowed something bitter, and her throat was full of it. She had never seen Nina so desperate, her face streaked with tears and her eyes bloodshot. Despite her own pain, Scarlett could only speak hoarsely, "Nina, only Captain knows where the child is. And with his death notice..."Even if she did not want to believe it, they had searched for days without finding Nash. He must be dead. Without him, no one knew the child's whereabouts. This was a torment for Nina.Nina couldn't control her emotions, and tears flowed like rain. "Scarlett, is this true? Please don't lie to me. I... I really want to see my child. I..."By the time she finished speaking, Nina was sobbing uncontrollably.Scarlett felt even worse, but she hugged Nina tightly, gently patting her back. "Nina, I'm not lying to you. As long as you're alive, anything is possible. Maybe Nash has already arranged everything, planned for when the child would meet you.
"Are you trying to send me away?" Wilfred asked, sensing the implication in Nina's words. His voice was raspy, tinged with a deep sadness.Nina was silent for a few seconds before she smiled and said, "Wilfred, all good things must come to an end. We each have our own paths to follow. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be here."Wilfred had his own plans, but they had changed because of her."Yes, if it weren't for your situation, I wouldn't have come here. But Nina, I just want to do something for you, to make myself valuable," he said, sitting in front of her. His gaze was filled with determination and deep affection.Nina understood Wilfred's feelings, but her heart belonged to Nash. With Nash missing, she had no room for anyone else. Pretending not to notice, she replied, "Wilfred, you need to follow your own path. I know you feel that as a healer, you can help me...""Nina, I know now isn't the best time to say this, but I have to. If I don't, you'll never know how I feel.
Nash let go of her after he finished speaking. Then, he began to step back.Nina tried to grab him, but he moved too quickly, his body gradually becoming transparent."Nash! You jerk!" Nina shouted, waking up with a start.When she lifted her hand, she realized her face was soaked with tears.Wilfred and Micah entered the tent and immediately understood what had happened upon seeing her tear-streaked face.Micah approached Nina first. He sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand. "Nina, it was just a nightmare. It's okay. Come back to the Yaren tribe with me."Nash had been dead for days, and they were worried about Nina being here alone. Their father had specifically instructed Micah to bring her back to the Yaren tribe.Nina shook her head. "I won't go back with you. How many times do I have to tell you? My name is Nina, not Ivy. I’m from Birkham, not the Yaren tribe."She pushed Micah's hand away. Nina's refusal to acknowledge her heritage felt like a sharp stab to Micah’
Micah's idea was to let Nina have some time to interact before forming a judgment. But for Nina, she wanted to sever all ties with the tribe immediately. Before Nash's incident, she was contemplating negotiating with Micah and the Pharaoh for an antidote. But now, she could not think of Nash without feeling a deep, unbearable pain."If you don't want trouble here, please leave." Nina pointed towards the tent's entrance.Micah remained silent for a moment but then complied. Before leaving, he stated firmly, "Nina, I'll be waiting for you to come around."Nina, however, knew she would never come around.After Micah left, Nina turned to Wilfred with a frown. "So just because they promised to turn you back into a normal person, you're back to being their lackey?"It was Wilfred who had let Micah in. Given what Micah had said to her before, Nina was seething with anger.Wilfred looked down. "Nina, please don't be angry. I just wanted to help. You don’t have many relatives left, and
Sally was Captain York's mother. Given the Captain's recent accident, Nina, as his beloved woman, was still regarded as his wife, despite officially being his ex-wife.Now, Sally demanded to speak with Nina on the phone, and Felix, unable to refuse, handed the phone to her."Nina! Why weren't you the one who died?"This was the first thing Sally said when Nina took the phone. Although Nina was not standing in front of Sally, she could vividly imagine Sally's ferocious face."It was an accident, Sally. You don't need to blame me for everything. Besides, you knew his identity better than I did," Nina replied coolly."I won't let you off, Nina. Just you wait!" Sally threatened.Nash had died at the hands of the Yaren tribe, with Nina by his side. Miranda had died too, all because of Nina. If Nina had not intervened, Nash and Miranda would have been married long ago.A mocking smile crossed Nina's lips. "Whatever you do, I'll face it head-on."Unfazed, she hung up the phone. Felix,
There was a hint of anticipation in Nina’s eyes. Scott was silent for a few seconds before giving a soft laugh. "They all think I'm dead. If I don't let them know I'm safe, they'll continue believing that. But if I do tell them, they'll worry even more. Besides, I haven't regained my memory yet."Without his memories, he did not know how to communicate with his family. Moreover, he felt an emptiness inside him and wanted to do something meaningful to fill that void. He thought that after some time, perhaps he would regain his memories and then he could go home. However, when he was around Nina, he always felt a strange tightness in his chest and a deep pain in his heart."I respect your decision. But you told me this place is dangerous. Aren't you worried..." Nina's brows furrowed.Scott chuckled. "Everyone dies eventually. If one loses their way, it's better to do something meaningful that can fill the emptiness.""Alright," Nina said, finally understanding his perspective.L
Nina did not dismiss Scarlett. Instead, she spoke directly, "Why does Scarlett know, but you don't? Wilfred, at this point, are you still trying to deceive me?"Her sharp, cold gaze fell on Wilfred. He slowly opened his lips and replied calmly, "Nina, I might deceive others, but I would never deceive you. I recognized you but didn't tell anyone else because you had become Nina, and you had no memories of your past. I couldn't drag you into it."Moreover, once I realized you were the Pharaoh's daughter, I knew that place wasn't meant for you."The Yaren tribe was embroiled in internal conflict. Seth was determined to surpass the Pharaoh by developing even more potent poisons to control people and even sought to seize power. The Pharaoh wanted to strengthen the tribe, leading to a deep divide. Nina, being kind-hearted, had a stable life and would not have been able to accept this situation easily.His thought was that Nina, having been married and even having a child, did not bel
