Chapter 999
Nina immediately realized what was happening and grabbed Nash’s hand. “The poison in your body… it hasn’t been cured, has it?”
“I’m sorry…” Nash’s voice was raspy and weak.
Hearing this, Nina felt a sharp pain in her heart. “I don’t want to hear your apologies. We’re going back right now!”
Nina grabbed Nash and started to pull him back. She had believed that her father had already cured Nash of the poison, especially since Nash had shown no signs of weakness. She had assumed everything was fine. But now, realizing Nash had been pretending all along, she felt a deep pain in her heart.
Just as she was about to head back, Nash held her tightly and shook his head. He knew exactly what she was thinking. She wanted to return to his father for help.
But if Dominic had been willing to give the antidote, he would not have let them go in the first place, not without saying a word.
“He won’t give it up easily. He probably wants to negotiate with us, but we ”
“I don’t want to negotiate with him. He won’t let me die,” Nash said, his grip on her hand unyielding. He did not want Nina to make any concessions for his sake.
But for Nina, nothing mattered more than Nash’s well-being. She would do anything for him, just as he had always done for her.
“If he didn’t want you dead, why didn’t he give you the antidote when we left?” Nina questioned, her voice trembling.
Dominic’s plan was simple. He wanted Nash to come crawling back to him for the cure.
“Even if you go to him now, he still won’t give you the antidote. Nina, let’s go back. Didn’t Father help Orion recover?”
With Pharaoh and Wilfred in the Yaren Tribe, there must be a way to cure this poison too!
Nina’s eyes welled up with tears. She understood Nash’s reasoning, but the thought of waiting and experimenting felt unbearable compared to getting the antidote directly from Dominic.
The next moment, Nash pulled her into a tight embrace, gently patting her back. “Don’t worry about it. I promised I wouldn’t leave you, and I won’t. Right now… let’s just go see Orion. I’m sure he’s missing us.” “Okay,” Nina finally agreed.
Meanwhile, Dominic had his men tailing Nash and Nina. He had withheld the antidote, expecting Nash to come begging for it.
But instead, they had shown no signs of wavering. Nash was resolute. Even in the face of death, he refused to return to Salterra or have anything more to do with Dominic.
This stubbornness reminded Dominic painfully of Nash’s mother, particularly those bright, determined eyes.
“I never want to have anything to do with you again…”
Dominic’s breath caught in his throat.
Nash’s mother had left him in much the same way, disappearing from his life entirely and taking Nash with her. It had taken him years of searching to find Nash again, but even then, things had not gone the way he had hoped.
Now that Nash and Nina were leaving, it was clear they intended to sever all ties with him. Nash was their only bloodline, and if Nash were to die, she would never forgive him. That was a burden he could not bear.
“Send the antidote to Nash,” Dominic finally ordered, his voice rising with determination. A servant quickly approached him, bowing respectfully.
As Dominic handed over the antidote, his lips pressed into a thin line, his expression cold and serious.
