Chapter 953
For now, the only option was to coax him into eating a bit more. Thankfully, Micah’s words seemed to work. However, apart from eating, Orion remained completely silent. Micah watched Orion, hesitating for a moment before dialing Wilfred’s number. Wilfred quickly answered, “Mr. Micah.”
Micah said, “Nina has been helping a little boy, but he won’t speak. I have a feeling something’s wrong. Are you in Salterra? If so, come over and take a look at him.”
Since Nina had come to Salterra as a war journalist, Wilfred had also relocated and opened a small clinic to treat the local residents. Knowing how devoted Wilfred was to Nina, the Pharaoh had even helped Wilfred regain a civilian identity. “Yes, I’ll come right away.”
Although Wilfred was usually busy treating patients at his clinic, he would always make time to see Nina. But Nina was often unavailable, and he did not want to impose, so he always asked her first before visiting.
Lately, though, she had not been responding to his messages, and knowing how busy she was, he did not push further. But since Micah had requested his help, he would definitely show up. After all, Micah was Nina’s brother.
It took Wilfred only half an hour to arrive at Micah’s place. The moment he laid eyes on Orion, his brows furrowed slightly.
Micah noticed Wilfred’s unusual reaction and could not help but ask, “What is it?”
Wilfred thought the boy looked remarkably similar to Nina when she was a child. Back then, when Nina appeared in his life, she was like a ray of light in his darkness. He had etched her face into his memory and had even sketched different versions of her over the years. He could never forget her features.
However…
The child Nina had given birth to had been declared a stillborn by the hospital, and Nash had supposedly been dead for five years. If that child had not died, there was no way Nash would have allowed Nina to be separated from their child.
“Did you notice something?” Micah asked, his brows furrowed as he observed Wilfred’s silence and the dark expression on his face.
Wilfred snapped out of his thoughts. “I just think he looks a lot like Ivy.”
Micah’s heart sank.
He turned to scrutinize Orion more closely. He had always been wary of the boy who had suddenly appeared by Nina’s side, which had made him suspicious of Orion’s identity. But he had never taken a closer look at him.
Besides, all of Nina’s childhood photos had been lost, and over time, memories tend to blur. Otherwise, Seth would not have been able to pass Miranda off as Ivy.
But now, with Wilfred’s remark, Micah’s buried memories resurfaced. That was the nature of memory. Sometimes, you could not recall things unless you deliberately try to. And Wilfred was right. Orion did indeed bear a resemblance to Nina.
If Nash had not died, maybe the child had not either. Micah could not wait any longer. “You need to conduct a DNA test between me and him immediately!”
Even though Nina was not there, Micah was her brother, and their blood connection could still be used for verification.
Wilfred took a deep breath. “It’s better to have Nina do the test.”
“Nina… has been taken by the Birkham military for investigation…”
That was why it had been difficult to intervene and rescue her. After all, he was currently only considered a citizen of a friendly nation.
Wilfred remained silent, but just as he was about to speak, Micah quickly interjected, “Don’t you know? Nina’s identity as Ivy has already been exposed?”
