Chapter 989
When Nina rushed over, Pharaoh was lying on the bed, with Wilfred hurriedly performing an examination.
In truth, Micah had already arranged for others to check on Pharaoh before Wilfred arrived. Pharaoh's condition was a result of overexertion, and more critically, his body had weakened from testing medicines on himself. Among everyone, Micah trusted Wilfred the most. Wilfred quickly assessed the situation and realized that Pharaoh's current state was due to his efforts in saving Orion. As Wilfred treated him, he could not help but admire Pharaoh's dedication.
The fact that Pharaoh had gone to such lengths for Nina's child showed how much he truly cared for her and how earnestly he was trying to make amends.
Wilfred immediately began preparing medicine, but Nina was frantic. "Wilfred, how is my father?"
The word "father" seemed to carry a magical weight. Lying on the bed, Pharaoh slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing Nina standing before him, his eyes welled up with tears. "Ivy, I think I heard you call me Father just now?"
Although Pharaoh spoke slowly, his words were clear, but by the end, he was already choking up, unable to hold back his sobs.

At this moment, what was there for Nina to deny? She had finally acknowledged him.
Meanwhile, Micah gave Wilfred a look, and Wilfred quickly added, "Pharaoh is exhausted from overwork, and his body is weak from the medicines he tested on himself. He needs to rest and recuperate." Nina could not hold back any longer, and her tears flowed freely, like a dam breaking.
Pharaoh had sacrificed so much for her, but she had been so harsh and cold to him.
Perhaps, as Micah had said, he might have been ruthless, a man of violence, but he was also a good father. And in the past five years, the Yaren Tribe had changed. Pharaoh had changed. "Father..." Nina sobbed uncontrollably.
Pharaoh pulled Nina into his arms. At that moment, all his hardships were worth it. To hear Nina call him "Father," he felt it was worth dying for.
In the days that followed, Nina cared
for both Pharaoh and Orion, personally preparing nutritious meals for them. Because Pharaoh had spent so much time treating Orion, they had grown close. Now that Nina had accepted Paoh, Orion naturally started calling him "Grandfather."
The grandfather and grandson spent their days together in the room, laughing and talking. The fierce look that once characterized Pharaoh was gone, replaced with a gentle demeanor. Orion's health continued to improve day by day.
Soon, it was time for Orion's birthday, and Pharaoh and Micah decided to hold the recognition ceremony on the same day.
Every detail, down to the placement
of each chair, was personally
overseen by Pharaoh. He had Micah issue a command for the entire Yaren Tribe to celebrate the event. In front of everyone, Pharaoh publicly acknowledged Nina's identity.
However, not everyone was convinced. "If your daughter has been alive all this time, why is the
recognition ceremony hat
only now? What about the other daughter? Mr. Seth brought her back. People say Mr. Seth betrayed our tribe, but he once did a lot for us!"
"We don't understand your logic, nor can we guess at it. But you've always told us what to do, and we've been expected to obey, including the killings and wars of five years ago."
"Your family always expects to be above everyone else. I think it's time we had new leadership in the Yaren Tribe. Why not hold new elections? Give everyone a chance to lead instead of letting your family rule us all!"
