Chapter 616
Wilfred’s expression grew complicated, then darkened. “Ivy…”
“Tell me,” Nina clutched his sleeve, her anxiety rising. “Is there something wrong with my body? Did he go to get medicine for me?”
“Ivy…” Wilfred’s voice faltered, lacking confidence.
He had wanted to keep it from her until she recovered. He wished for her to be carefree, but she had still found out.
Nina understood from his words. She released his sleeve, her eyes reddening, and a bitter smile forming on her lips. “No wonder… No wonder I felt off and always weak. It turns out there really is something wrong with my body. No wonder you stayed by my side. No wonder…”
Her voice choked up.
“No wonder Nash abandoned me. It’s because of my health, isn’t it?”
“Don’t say that,” guilt flashed in Wilfred’s eyes. He reached out to touch her but let his hand fall back. “You will get better. I won’t let you die.”
“Die?” Nina turned to look at Wilfred. “Is it that serious? Then why do I feel fine? Tell me, what’s going to happen to me?”
Wilfred hid his hands behind his back. “It’s not very serious yet. We’ll find a solution before it gets worse.”
Nina asked again, “The worst-case scenario, will I die?”
Wilfred pursed his lips. “I won’t let you die.”
That was his most resolute answer. He would die before he let Nina die.
Nina laughed bitterly. “Stop comforting me. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Do you think I’m not strong enough? If I’d known, I could have stopped Scott.” “You couldn’t have stopped him. He wants you to live,” Wilfred replied.
Nina felt helpless. “Why does it have to be this way? It’s not worth it. Does the Yaren tribe really have the medicine to cure me?”
“There’s hope.”
“But it’s not guaranteed, is it? Is he crazy? Isn’t it dangerous there? He’s gambling with his life!” Nina’s emotions surged. Wilfred said again, “Where there’s hope, there’s a chance for survival.”
Nina felt overwhelmed. She had not expected this outcome. It was hard to accept. Her guilt deepened, and she felt useless.
She could not just wait and do nothing, nor let Scott risk his life in vain. “I’m going to find him!”
Wilfred grabbed her arm. “He’s taking such a risk for you. You can’t act impulsively. You won’t solve anything by going.”
Nina looked at him again. “So I should just wait?”
“You have to wait,” Wilfred told her. “You still have unfulfilled dreams. You have to keep filming, reach the peak of your career. You have more important things to do!” Nina stared at him. “What about Scott?”
“He will come back,” Wilfred said. “He wouldn’t want you to take risks. If not, everything he’s done would be for nothing!”
Nina clenched her fists, struggling to accept this harsh reality.
“What kind of illness do I have that can’t be treated with regular medicine? Why must it be the Yaren tribe?”
“You’ve been poisoned. It’s not something ordinary people can cure.”
“Poisoned…” Nina was shocked. “When did I get poisoned? How did I not know?”
She thought back and felt a deep sense of fear. She had not felt anything.
She guessed it was related to that organization and realized how dangerous these people were. Suddenly, she remembered the injection she received when she was kidnapped by Scarlett. Could it be from that incident?
At that moment, there was a knock on the studio door, and Nina’s anxious eyes turned towards it.
