Veda stared at Nina, bewildered. “Atone? How?”

Veda had no idea how she was supposed to make things right.

Even though Veda knew nothing about what happened in Phoenix Village, the Enforcement Squad had cleared her name.

But deep down, Veda couldn’t shake the feeling that she was still quilty.

Just like Nina said, everything she’d ever enjoyed growing up, all of it came from the dirty money they made selling drugs.

That was a shadow that would haunt Veda for the rest of her life.

“There’s a lot you can do,” Nina said calmly. “It’s up to you how you choose to atone.”

Veda stayed silent.

After a long pause, Veda finally stood up. “I get it now. I’ll find my own way to make things right.

“I had no say in where I was born, and even if I didn’t ask for any of this, I still profited from what Phoenix Village did. I’ll find a way to make up for it.”

With that, Veda bowed to Nina. “Thank you. If it weren’t for you guys, who knows when anyone would’ve ever found out about this place? Every extra day it stayed hidden just made my guilt worse.”

Nina looked up at her. “Now that they’re caught, do you still wan the Parasite removed?”

Veda shook her head. “No, I don’t. The Parasite doesn’t hurt me, and they won’t be able to take me back anymore. So why not just keep it inside me? At least it’ll always remind me of what I’ve done.”

Veda pressed her lips together. “Could you tell Ethan for me that I’m leaving? Loving him is the one thing in my life I’ll never regret, but this is where I let go of my feelings for him.

“I just hope he finds happiness down the road.”

“I’ll

pass

it on to him,” Nina replied.

Veda left, not looking back.

She didn’t tell Nina where she was going, and Nina didn’t ask.

Chances were, they’d never see each other again.

After Nina finished getting ready, she Ireaded to Betrico with Ryan and Simon.

Elaine and Ethan were heading back to Riverdale to let Sarah know they were safe.

Plus, they still had to go through with their wedding plans.

Several hours later, Nina headed straight for Betrico Hospital with Ryan. She needed to remove the Parasite from his body.

Once the Parasite was out, Ryan would be back in the same condition as when he was first injured, so Nina had to operate on him right away.

While Nina was operating on Ryan, Simon had already informed the Foster family,

As soon as they heard the news, the Foster family rushed to the hospital.

Even Wylder got word.

But since Nina was still in surgery, no one knew how Ryan was doing. All they could do was keep vigil outside.

Nina’s surgery lasted an entire day and night.

Everyone waiting outside was on edge, their hearts in their throats.

Early the next morning, the air was thick with tension. The operating room door finally swung open.

The Foster family shot to their feet, but before anyone could ask about Ryan, they heard someone shout from inside, “Nina!”

Everyone outside knew right away it was Russell.

Russell was Nina’s student.

Everyone in the Foster family looked anxious.

Everyone couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Did something happen to Nina?’

Moments later, Russell rushed out, supporting Nina in his arms. Quick, get a room ready for Nina to rest!”

Russell knew exactly what Nina was dealing with.

Whenever she used The Soul-Stealing Thirteen Needles, it always left her totally wiped out.

Back when Nina was saving lives, she’d never actually fainted before.

But this time, Ryan’s condition was way more serious, and the surgery alone had dragged on for a full day and night.

Even the men were running out of steam, and they weren’t the ones doing the hard part, let alone Nina.

And on top of that, Nina had used The Soul-Stealing Thirteen Needles.

That took even more out of her than the surgery

itself.

Grace was the first to regain her composure. “Hurry, let’s get Nina to the ward so she can rest.”

Grace knew Nina always needed to rest after every time she saved someone.

Fortunately, as soon as they learned Ryan was brought back and was in surgery, they immediately arranged for a VIP room at the hospital.
