Chapter 852
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. Ile 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. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Fɪndηovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Even Pharaoh had arranged for them to have a meal together, yet Micah still treated her this way. Weren’t they from the same mother? Ivy could not understand.
However, she could not confront Micah now. She could only find a way on her own.
Nina sat by Nash’s side, worry etched across her face. “How are you feeling? Is there any discomfort? Do you need water? Are you hungry?”
Nash didn’t respond immediately. He longed to touch Nina’s face, and his trembling hand reached out to caress her cheek. “Nina, I’m sorry.”
“Why are you apologizing? Because I found out about the poison?” Nina’s voice cracked with emotion.
Nash’s throat burned, rendering him unable to speak further. Nina’s words were true. He had intended to keep everything hidden, setting everything up and coming here for two reasons: his duty and the hope of finding a cure.
He hadn’t expected Nina to follow him, and despite his efforts to protect the secret, she discovered it anyway. As the saying goes, paper can’t wrap fire.
Nina understood that Nash’s silence was an admission.
“Don’t dwell on the past,” Nina urged. “Right now, we need to find a way out of here.”
She realized that although she had found Scarlett, Scarlett didn’t remember her. As for Scott, she hadn’t had the chance to see him yet.
Seeing Nash’s reaction to the poison, her worry for him intensified. She had endured the torment of the drugs herself. The child… The child was a lifelong pain for her. She didn’t dare to dwell on it because whenever she did, the pain became so unbearable that she couldn’t breathe.
“I understand,” Nash replied firmly. “Once we get out, you should return to the capital. Nina, take care of everything there, live your life well, and don’t wait for me.”
Nash’s grip tightened on Nina’s hand, his voice growing weaker.
“What are you saying?” Nina’s eyes filled with tears, her gaze red rimmed. His words seemed to suggest she should move on, even marry someone else.
But she had spent so many years by his side, shared a child, and faced life-and-death situations with him. How could she ever consider moving on?
Nina’s lips twisted in a bitter smile. “Nash, do you really think I can just forget about you that easily? Do I seem like that kind of person to you?”
Nash remained silent. He had planned everything meticulously to avoid leaving Nina with any lingering attachment.
If he managed to survive, he would return to her. If he didn’t, their divorce would at least spare her from the stigma of widowhood. He believed that, over time, she would gradually forget him and move on.
