That was when she noticed that Nathan had curled into himself again.
Lucinda had sneaked back into his bedroom last night and found him in darkness, huddled up on the floor by the door.
She had studied psychology in the past, so she recognized his actions as a sight of extreme anxiety usually brought upon by a keen lack of security.
She felt a pang in her heart.
Ever since Nathan had gotten ill, the pain and stress seemed to have greatly affected his mentality.
In just a short period of time, he had turned into a very sensitive and deeply insecure person.
He was constantly afraid of losing her, all while saying that he didn’t deserve her at all.
His struggles were obvious and complex.
Lucinda could barely convince herself that he was the same man she had known before.
Nathan used to be cold and uncaring, always so strict and arrogant.
He had been notoriously known as a merciless figure in the business world.
But now, he always humbled himself before her.
The drastic change made Lucinda’s heart ache. She suddenly found it difficult to breathe.
She lay back down beside him and told herself to calm down. Then, she pressed against his back and wound her arms around him.

“You have always been, and always will be, my one and only love,” she whispered in his ear.
“You’re the only one in my heart.”
She felt the tension in Nathan’s body gradually ease.
He finally uncovered his face, too, and turned his head slightly at an angle, giving her a peek of his handsome face.
“Really?” he asked, a hint of doubt in his voice.
Lucinda tightened her embrace and rested her chin on his shoulder.
She closed her eyes and savored the warmth of his cheek against hers.
“You can ask me the same question every time you feel sad or insecure,” she said patiently.
“And my answer will always be the same.”
At last, Nathan’s restless heart slowed.
