Chapter 998

Though Freya was heartbroken, she still cared about Micah and chose to leave quietly. She knew that if he saw her lingering outside his door, he would be upset, and she did not want to cause him any distress.
But she did not leave the matter entirely alone. Instead, she went to see Pharaoh. Noticing her red, swollen eyes, Pharaoh understood immediately. “If Micah bullied you, I can teach him a lesson,” he offered. He was implying that if it was about anything else, it was out of his hands. Pharaoh had reached his current position through years of experience. He knew Freya had always been by Micah’s side, and it was clear to him how she felt about Micah. But matters of the heart could not be forced, especially with someone as strong-willed as Micah.
Freya had not expected Pharaoh to be so blunt. She took a deep breath and said softly, “Pharaoh, can’t you help me? I really love him… He doesn’t have anyone else in his life. I promise, I’ll stay by his side and support him always.”
Her voice was tinged with desperation. She had come to Pharaoh as a last resort, truly at her wit’s end. She had loved Micah since she was young, and had worked tirelessly to improve herself, hoping one day she could stand beside him.
When she finally gathered the courage to confess, she was met with rejection. She did not understand why. After all, she was not lacking in any way. If it was because she had wronged Nina before, she was more than willing to apologize to Nina again and again. All she wanted was a chance to be with Micah.
But Pharaoh’s response was far from what she had hoped. “Freya, your father made great contributions to the Yaren Tribe, and I’ve always taken care of you. I can help you with many things, but not this.”
Pharaoh sighed as he spoke. He had once considered arranging a marriage for Micah, but when he broached the subject, Micah was strongly opposed. Pharaoh never brought it up again.
Now that Freya had feelings for him, it was clear that if Micah was interested, she would not still be seeking his attention. After witnessing what happened with Nina and Nash, Pharaoh understood more than ever that love could not be forced.
Freya opened her mouth to speak, but found herself at a loss for words. Pharaoh, however, had other responsibilities and, after offering a few more words of advice, turned and left for the lab.
Freya felt as if a blade had pierced her heart. The more Micah rejected her, the more determined she became to win him over. She refused to believe she could not eventually touch his heart.
Meanwhile, Nina and Nash were making their way back. Due to the live broadcast, Nina had gained quite a few new followers. People from different countries had somehow tracked down her account and sent her messages.
“You’re so clever! Come report for our country next time!”
“Wishing you and Captain York a long and happy life together!”
“Would you be interested in starting a news agency? I can fully fund it.”
Nina was surprised by the outpouring of support and the reach of her broadcast. But she knew her focus now had to be on her child. She was determined to devote herself entirely to caring for her son, helping him recover fully before even thinking about returning to work. She was eager to get home.
However, as Nina put away her phone and looked up, she noticed Nash’s pale face and the tiny beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
