But Lucinda was Nathan’s weak point, and Cyrus knew exactly how to use that to manipulate the man.
Cyrus spoke firmly, trying to make his point.
“Then it’s decided. If you want to know anything about Lucinda, you have to listen to me and follow my instructions. Is there something you want to eat particularly? And if not, I’ll just get you something simple.”
Nathan didn’t say anything, but he was getting more and more frustrated.
“If you don’t object, I’ll take it as a yes.”
Cyrus’s voice became more serious. Finally, he had a way to deal with the man.
“Consider yourself lucky. I’ve never taken care of anyone else Like this, except for my sister.”
With that, Cyrus turned around and left the room, leaving Nathan feeling sad and defeated. He curled up in bed, covering himself with the blanket, trying to hide from everything.

As soon as Cyrus left the ward, he got a call from Noelle.
His voice softened as he answered, “Already miss me? No work today?”
“I couldn’t sleep without you last night. I wanted to see you before going to work.”
Noelle’s voice sounded a bit sad and worried.
“How are things going?
I’m at the door of the lab now, but the security wouldn’t allow me in.”

“I’ll come to you right away,” Cyrus reassured her, a genuine affection coloring his words.
He rushed to the gate and, as he arrived, he saw Noelle waiting for him.
She was dressed in a stunning fishtail gown, the very outfit she would wear for a photo shoot later. A fur scarf was wrapped around her neck, emphasizing her pure and lovely face.
She looked different from Lucinda, who had always exuded charm, dominance, and arrogance. Noelle had a gentleness about her, a kindness that shone through.
“It’s winter. Why aren’t you dressed warmer? Where’s your coat?”
Cyrus remarked, concern lacing his words. Without thinking twice, he took off his own coat and wrapped it around her, making sure she was warm. Then, he rubbed her hands to warm them up.
Noelle felt touched by his gesture.
“Don’t worry about me. I’m not cold. How is Nathan? When will Lucinda come back?”
Cyrus sighed, his eyes reflecting the exhaustion he felt.
“Nathan is acting really angry right now, but I found a way to control him. I can’t go back home for a few days. You need to take care of yourself.
