Chapter 563
He quickly picked her up and rushed to find a doctor. Nina was taken into the emergency room, where the doctors began to examine her.
Nash stood outside, feeling anxious. His deep eyes were fixed on her silhouette, unable to relax as his palms grew sweaty with worry. He could sense something was seriously wrong with Nina.
After about ten minutes, the doctor came out and spoke to Nash. “I couldn’t find anything wrong with the patient. All her tests came back healthy. There’s no clear reason for her sudden fainting. However, I did notice several bruises on her body, which appeared rather suspicious. Also, there was a needle mark on the back of her neck.”
Hearing this made Nash’s expression grow even grimmer. Not finding any symptoms was the most dangerous sign. He went into the room and looked at Nina’s thin face.
She had lost a lot of weight recently. Pregnancy was already hard on her, and now there were these additional symptoms. He could not help but feel a pang of sorrow.
Nash tightly held her hand and gently stroked her cheek.
“How is she?” Caleb asked as he rushed over after hearing the news.
Nash turned to him. “She had a temporary blackout, but they haven’t found the cause.”
Caleb, who was also a doctor but not specializing in this field, examined Nina. He noticed the bruises on her arm, something he had never seen before. “Could she have been poisoned?”
Nash had already considered this worst-case scenario. If it was poison, they needed to find out who did it to get the antidote. But they could not even identify the poison yet.
“Nina was kidnapped recently,” Nash said, suspecting that they might have injected her with something.
Caleb’s expression grew serious. “Poisoning Nina is a direct threat to you. They know they’ve found your weak spot.” Nash was not entirely convinced. If they wanted to poison someone, wouldn’t it be easier to target him directly? “Nina’s poison is still in the early stages. If they want to negotiate, they’ll eventually show their hand,” Nash speculated. Caleb then noticed the prayer beads on Nina’s wrist. The beads seemed unusual. “Nash, where did these beads come from?” James responded, “Ma’am must have met someone when she went out. She only had the beads when she came back.”
Caleb took the beads and examined them closely, noticing something peculiar. “Nash, these beads have a faint smell of blood and a subtle medicinal scent. If you look closely, there’s a trace of blood inside.”
Nash asked, “Is it helping or hurting her?”
“It’s beneficial,” Caleb explained, solving one of his medical mysteries. “These beads are likely protecting her, preventing the poison from spreading too much. The person who made these beads probably used their own blood to fill them with protective properties.”
Caleb looked at Nash. “Only a healer could do this.”
Nash pondered this for a moment. “It’s an unverified practice, but I’ve heard that fewer than one in a million can become a healer.

Creating a healer was a particularly cruel process, essentially an experiment. From a young age, they were soaked in various herbs, subjected to bites from poisonous creatures, and made to ingest different toxic plants. Surviving such a process was a miracle.
“I’m speculating, but if not for these beads, Nina’s poison would have fully manifested by now.”
Nash recalled seeing someone unusual in the apartment complex and he lived right next door.
