Elio's hands clenched tightly at his sides when he heard the confident declaration that Nina could be cured. "But curing Nina isn't something that can be done overnight; it will take stime," Mr. Atticus added. Ewas already aware of this. He knew the poison from that lab was no simple matter to neutralize.
