Chapter 475

Nina raised an eyebrow. “How’d you figure that out?”

“You guys really know how to keep a secret. Ethan may try to act distant, but the way he gazes at her betrays his heart,” Veda said with a bittersweet smile.

She continued, “I’ve had a crush on him since school, but I never managed to confess. I missed my shot, and I’m not gonna mess with what they have now. I’ll just keep this crush as a sweet memory.”

“Alright, I promise,” Nina said without hesitation.

Nina never really got what love was all about.

Most of the time, she just thought of Ryan as a partner.

It wasn’t until Ryan got into trouble that she finally realized how she felt about him.

She couldn’t really understand where Veda was coming from, but she respected that.

Veda gave a small, grateful smile. “Thanks, Nina.”

Nina glanced outside the courtyard. Earlier, Ryan and Felix had been standing out there.

But now, they were nowhere to be seen.

She withdrew her gaze and asked, “What’s the deal with those two guys outside?”

“My parents rescued them,” Veda said. “A few days ago, there was a plane crash in Hillcrest. When my parents found those two, they were basically on their last breath.

“Honestly, my parents weren’t planning to help at all, but since they were both pretty easy on the eyes, they brought them home and used our family’s sacred treasure, the Lifesaver Parasite, to pull them back from the brink.”

Veda glanced down, a little embarrassed. “My dad wants me to marry the most handsome one… That’s Ryan, right?”

Nina nodded. “That’s right.”

Ryan really was better-looking than Felix.

No one could argue with that.

“My dad wants me to marry him, but in our village, once a girl gets married and gets pregnant, those men always get tak away. I have no idea where they end up, but wherever they go, it a death sentence,” Veda said.

Veda sighed, “I don’t want to marry him, and I don’t want to hurt him. So I said that their injuries aren’t fully healed, and if am pregnant now, it might end up with problems. That’s the excuse I used to buy some time.”

Honestly, it was a pretty lame excuse.

But Riggs and Zuri actually bought it.

Because all they cared about was her having a perfect baby.

“Lifesaver Parasite?” Nina echoed, a hint of surprise flickering in her eyes.

She knew exactly what that was.

twas basically the king of all parasites.

It could save people, but it wiped out all the memories.

If you wanted those memories back, you’d have to remove the Lesaver Parasite, but doing that could cost you your life.

The Lifesaver Parasite was practically legendary, and it took decles to cultivate just one.

The Wilson family actually used such a rare parasite to save someone, just so they could have a child? Nina thought, a little stunned.

“Now’s not the time for this, Veda said, her anxiety spiking. “My parents are determined to make me get married tonight. Once it gets dark and the whole village gathers, you guys won’t have a chance to escape.”

It was almost one o’clock already.

Weddings in Phoenix Village always started at six in the evening!

Which meant they got less than five hours left.

Nina raised an eyebrow. “Like we could just stroll out of here right now.”

Veda sighed. “Yeah, we really can’t.”

Once you were in Phoenix Village, getting out was nearly impossible.

But Veda knew there was a way out through the mountain behing the village.

The only catch was that there were people keeping watch back there.

“Alright, go get your makeup ready,” Nina said with a shrug. “Big wedding tonight, remember?”
