What Leon said was what the other wanted to say.
Vicente asked, "If Nina is under great pressure, will she lose her memory again?"
Noah added, "She's weak now. What should we do? Is there any cure?"
"Can it be cured completely? Is there any way we can bring my sister back to normal?" Leon looked at Kevin.
Both Bruce and Anne seriously looked at Kevin as well and waited for his response. Kevin shook his head apologetically and murmured, "There is no cure."
After he said that, the air in the room seemed to have solidified.
John's hands trembled slightly, and his eyes seemed to be plunged in endless darkness.
They looked blank and lifeless.
Meanwhile, Nina felt very guilty because she made so many people anxious and uncomfortable with her health condition.
"It's just that I'm a little weak and prone to some minor diseases. I'm working out every day now and eating well. I should be fine. It's not a big deal. I just need to be careful and not subject myself to stressful situations." Nina smiled, pretending to be relaxed, and looked at Kevin.
"If there is no cure, then there must be a way to at least control it."
"Yes, there is." Kevin switched the presentation to the next slide.
Nina's eyes lit up. "Look, there's a way."
The frozen air began to slowly circulate again. Everyone looked up at the screen.
Nina leaned back on her chair and quietly stretched out her right hand to touch the hem of John's shirt. Then, she slowly reached for his hand.
John's hand was colder than a winter night. It was so cold that Nina's fingers trembled. She quickly opened her palm and wrapped it around his big hand.
Unfortunately, her hand was too small to cover his completely, and she could not move much given her current position. She could only rub the back of his hand anxiously.
She rubbed it several times until it was warm.
While no one was watching, John took a small step forward. His thighs were almost pressed against the back of Nina's chair. He touched the back of his hand to Nina's small palm.
The delicious warmth of her skin seeped into his, giving him hope and strength.
Standing on the stage upfront, Kevin explained, "The virus has already merged with the princess's blood. To completely get rid of it, we'll have to replace all of her blood, which we can't do without killing her in the process.
The good news is, even if her blood is already infused with the virus, she's not contagious, and she won't pass it on to her children.
We have developed some medicine that can stop the spread of the virus and also purify the blood, but it has little effect at this time. As long as Princess Nina took the medicine, her body won't continue to weaken, and she'll be able to function normally.
However, it's also possible that she will be dependent on the medicine, so we have to be careful. The medication isn't a permanent solution. My team and I continue with our research."
Kevin's words gave them hope. Anne said firmly, "Please continue your study. Don't worry about the money. We will give you our full support."
Kevin did not worry about the money at all. The royal family of C Island was so rich that they have a place in the top three of the world's rich list.
He would continue his research on M.C. He even had a bold idea. If he can turn the virus into something that could develop the human brain, it'd be a great contribution to the field of medicine.
Kevin's eyes twinkled. "Thank you, Your Majesty. Okay, let's proceed.
We've solved the first problem. Now, let's continue. If Princess Nina is under great pressure, she will fall into a coma, and there is a fifty-fifty chance that she will remember everything after she wakes up. We've found that the stability of her mind greatly depends on the condition of the people she cares about. Therefore, as long as everyone she cares about is fine, she'll be fine."
Kevin swept his gaze on Nina's family and then at her bodyguard who was standing like a statue behind her. He stood on a high place, just like a teacher standing on a platform who could see the small movements of his students clearly, so he saw John holding Nina's hand.
When he first saw John, he was surprised by the dignity and calm that emanated from him. How could he be just a bodyguard?
