Chapter 886

Nina did not wake up at first, so Wilfred kept talking in her ear, repeating his words over and over until she finally opened her eyes.
She saw Wilfred in front of her, and clarity returned to her gaze. “Wilfred, where… where are we?”
Wilfred did not immediately answer. His lips were pressed into a thin line. When he had first reunited with Nina, he thought she had lost her memory and forgotten their past. But now he realized something more troubling. Her memories were distorted. “We’re in a cave,” he finally said. “You have a fever, and I couldn’t keep moving with you. Nina, look at me. I have something important to tell you.”
Wilfred released Nina but kept a firm grip on her shoulders, his seriousness making her recognize the gravity of the situation.
“What do you need to tell me?” she asked, seeing the weight of his expression.
After a moment of silence, Wilfred began, He recounted the details. When he was enduring unbearable torture, Nina appeared, dressed in a spotless white princess dress, and protected him and Scarlett. She stood out in the slave camp, but no one dared touch her because she was the esteemed daughter of the Pharaoh, referred to as Ivy.
She was like an angel, trying to protect the people in the camp, but she was just one person. Her power was limited, and the camp’s horrors were overwhelming.
Some people, through empathy, internalized the sufferings of others as if they were their own. Nina had subconsciously absorbed others’ memories. There was a term for it in medicine, empathetic transference.
Wilfred explained, “We managed to escape the camp because you set a fire. I don’t know why you ended up in Birkham afterward, but Nina, no one dared to make you an experimental subject. Your brother and the Pharaoh both loved you very much.”
Her brother, Micah, and the Pharaoh…
Wilfred rolled up Nina’s sleeve, revealing a round white scar on her arm. “Nina, this is from when you saved me and got accidentally burned. I was under the effects of a new drug and couldn’t control myself. I pushed you away, and a red-hot iron ball fell on your arm and bounced off. Only you and I know this…”
He had been terrified then, fearing that her injury would lead to his own gruesome punishment. But Nina had never mentioned it.
Because Nina had been in the lab with Wilfred and he was also being groomed as a test subject so he had access to many drugs and treatments. He had an extraordinary talent for handling these substances.
As a result, Nina’s burn scar gradually faded, eventually forming a white spot that was barely noticeable unless you looked closely.
Nina was speechless. It felt as if something was stuck in her throat, making it hard to breathe.
The circular white scar, which she had always thought was a birthmark, now had a clear origin.
Wilfred had given her the bracelet to save her, and once again, he was risking everything to protect her.
