Meanwhile, Nathan appeared to be in a bright mood. He stretched out his hands to catch the falling snowflakes beyond the balcony.
“Do you think it’s snowing in Eurfrica too? Is Lucinda out there, watching the snow, just like me?”
It was evident that thoughts of Lucinda consumed Nathan’s mind again.
Touched by this, Cyrus let out a sigh and said nothing.
“We gaze upon the same sky. Can she feel that I miss her? I miss her so much…”
Nathan’s voice was feeble, nearly swallowed by the freezing cold. He had been sitting out there in the cold for hours on end.

But when he spoke of missing her, a glimmer of light flickered in his empty eyes.
Deeply moved, Cyrus said in a soft tone, “Well, even though you’re beneath the same sky, it’s daytime in Eurfrica right now. If she knew you were torturing yourself in the cold in the middle of the night, she’d be devastated. What you need to do is accept the treatment, take care of yourself, and wait for her return.
Shall I help you back inside? I’ll make you a steaming bowl of ginger tea to warm you up. If you catch a cold and develop a fever tomorrow, Hilliard and I will worry, as will she.”
Still feeling the snowflakes in his palm, Nathan persisted, “You mentioned this morning that Lucinda wouldn’t marry Kyson to obtain the antidote. Are you sure about that?”
Well…
Truth be told, Cyrus wasn’t entirely sure. But to keep Nathan calm, he had no choice but to continue the charade.
“Absolutely. She assured me she has a foolproof plan to acquire the antidote. She’ll be away for no more than two weeks. Besides, she has Sonny by her side. You should trust your own subordinate. He’s a highly trained elite from the National Security Bureau with decades of experience.”
Relieved by this assurance, Nathan’s anxiety ebbed away.

Sonny would definitely risk his own life to protect Lucinda if she was ever in danger.
He prayed for their safe return.
“Let’s head back to the bedroom.”
With a firm grip on Nathan’s arm, Cyrus led him back to his room, where he switched on the heat. Cyrus then descended the stairs to prepare the ginger tea.
In the outskirts of the Pilatis, the cook came to deliver Lunch to Lucinda. Since she found the local cuisine not so appetizing, she only picked at her meal.
As dusk settled, the temperature plunged, and snow began to fall.
Within thirty minutes, the heavy snow had blanketed the entire yard.
As it was in the suburb, the sky was clear, and the snow turned the suburban landscape into a glistening silver wonderland.
Lucinda stood by the window, fixed her gaze on the snow, and went deep in thoughts.
Sonny approached her, offered her a thick cloak, and shut the window.
