Scarlett did not understand. "What are you talking about?"

Nina looked outside again, noticing James's occasional expressions of unease. She felt that her suspicions were partially correct.

Nash might be trying to gain Seth's trust and would likely take some calculated risks. The fact that Nash and Miranda were still missing only added to her concerns.

"James, did Nash go to see Seth?" Nina asked directly.

"Well..." James hesitated. "Captain will come back. Don't worry about him. If he returns, I'll inform you immediately."

Scarlett, catching on, said to Nina, "If Nash really went to see Seth, it's probably to get the antidote. Seth can make medicines and likely has his own lab. He must have learned from Pharaoh. He wouldn't waste his skills."

Nina's expression grew tense as she turned back to James. "Why didn't you go with him? You haven't made any moves. Did Nash go alone? Isn't that too dangerous?"

James was cornered. "Captain didn't want us to follow."

"Big goof, why can't you just tell the truth?" Scarlett said urgently. "Before I got out, I saw Nash with Miranda. They must have gone together. Miranda is Seth's daughter, so she could definitely take him to see Seth. But I don't know how she did it."
