Nash realized that only one person had the potential to help. He looked at the increasingly frail Nina, knowing he could not afford to wait any longer.

"Stay here and keep an eye on her. I'm going to check something," Nash told Caleb before heading back to the apartment.

Caleb, unsure of where Nash was heading, simply replied, "Okay."

Nash knew that the kidnapping had left Nina harmed. Someone who could detect the poison so quickly and provide an antidote had to be extraordinary. He could not overlook any potential help. Nash arrived at the apartment and looked at the door next to Nina's. It was closed, and he knocked urgently. Within a minute, the door opened.

Wilfred had been at home, seemingly expecting Nash. He showed no surprise and simply said, "Come in."

Nash noticed Wilfred's pale complexion and weak body. "Did you give Nina those beads?"

Wilfred poured a glass of water for Nash. "Those beads were originally hers."

Nash's deep eyes fixed on Wilfred as he asked calmly, "I haven't seen you among Nina's friends before."

Wilfred gave a slight smile. "I'm not exactly a friend. I prefer to stay in the shadows."

Wilfred had always seen himself that way. Someone who could only exist in darkness and could not openly form friendships. Over the years, he had come to terms with not needing friends. Only Nina held a special significance for him.
