Lucinda sighed and whispered, “Time cannot be rewound and we cannot change the past. We must move forward! But you’re stuck in a dead end as you refuse to accept the fact that I don’t love you.”
She stood still and paid attention to what he had to say.
“Nathan left you and caused you immense pain! How can you forgive him but can’t forgive me?
I’ll never forget the sight of you flirting with him at that bar in Forden, right before my eyes! I only wished I were the man sitting on your lap at that moment!
I envy Nathan so much! That was why I knew he would protect you, so I had my men splash the $404 Virus on him. Foolishly, I believed that if he died, you would return to me!
I never expected him to be the head of the National Security Bureau.
The doctor from the Lab even helped by extending his life by six months! And neither did I expect it only deepened your love for him. You just care about him now.
Hearing his words, Lucinda felt her hatred for Kyson reignite, gnawing at her heart. She coldly pushed his hand away.
“You are drunk! The maid will bring you the soup later. After you’ve had it, Jamie will drive you back to Aered Court. I’m exhausted. I’m returning to bed.”
Without casting a glance back, she ascended the stairs.
Just as she reached the Landing, Kyson bellowed in despair, “Lucinda, what do you want me to do? What must I do for you to give me another chance? If I risked my life for you, just like Nathan did, would you care more about me?”
Lucinda’s words dripped with icy disdain as she spoke without even glancing at him.

With that, she briskly ascended the stairs to her room, locked the door behind her, discarded the nightgown that had been tainted by Kyson’s touch, took a fresh one from the wardrobe, hung it in the coatroom, and returned to her bed.
Sleep eluded her, however. Whenever she closed her eyes, vivid memories of her and Kyson playing together as children flooded her mind.
There was a time when she adored him and idolized him. She would follow him everywhere he went.
Perhaps it was due to her pregnancy, but she found herself inexplicably sentimental.
She found herself feeling a shred of pity for such a depraved individual.
Lucinda pulled the quilt up to her chin, determined to banish him from her thoughts. Instead, she should focus on the immense suffering Nathan had endured over the past six months because of Kyson.
Amidst the turmoil in her mind, the sound of a departing car echoed from outside. Kyson must have finally left.
Gradually, Lucinda’s spirits lifted, and exhaustion overcame her, lulling her into a much-needed sleep.
Meanwhile, in Stastle, five days had passed.
Mylo arrived at the designated meeting room, set up by Nathan.
Ronan, having recently suffered a severe beating, was absent this time.
