Nina held Orion close, staying by his side.

But later, while in the lab, she came across a treatment list that Pharaoh had compiled. One particular herb caught her attention-Seven-Leaf Clover.

This herb thrived in shady areas and would only grow deep in the mountains. Due to its unique medicinal properties, venomous snakes often guarded it. It was said that only experienced herbalists would dare to harvest it and ordinary people would not risk it. Pharaoh had marked the herb's name, possibly indicating the difficulty of obtaining it. Nina bit her lip. If others were afraid to go, she would go herself. If it meant saving her son, she was willing to risk her life.

With that resolve, Nina set out immediately.

Nash, seeing her heading toward the mountains from afar, quickly caught up. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find Seven-Leaf Clover," Nina replied directly, adding, "I can go alone. You stay here with Orion."

"No, I'm going with you," Nash insisted firmly. Nina, not wanting to waste time arguing, nodded and agreed to let him accompany her.

The environment where Seven-Leaf Clover grew was extremely harsh. The deeper into the mountains they went, the more likely they were to find it. It was certainly not near the outskirts. Nina pressed on without stopping, her goal set on the deepest part of the mountain. They walked for what felt like an eternity, the atmosphere growing increasingly eerie. There was no wind, yet a chill seemed to seep into their bones.

Nash took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, urging, "You should go back. I promise I'll bring you the Seven-Leaf Clover."
