“Nathan! Grandfather is calling you back.” Sonny had a worried look on his face, but Nathan didn’t appear bothered in the slightest.
“Tell him that I’ll be there after Lucinda’s done with her checkup.”
“I heard that the old man is unhappy. Ronan was there, too. They probably have something serious to discuss with you, since he wants you to come as soon as possible!” Even as he said this, Sonny’s voice was hushed, and he still waited patiently to the side.
“Yes, yes. I know,” Nathan replied in a steady voice.

There was no point in holding off the inevitable. But if Lucinda know about this, she would definitely worry…
With that in mind, Nathan said, “Call Luisa over and tell her to keep Lucinda company for the rest of the session. Be sure to tell her not to speak of this to Lucinda.”
“Yes, Boss.”
Sonny whipped out his phone and fired off a message to Luisa.
She appeared a couple of minutes later, having rushed over from the parking lot.
Luisa had been practically attached to Sonny by the hip these days.
She went wherever he did. And when he had to be on the field on some mission or investigation, she stayed put and waited for him in the car.
They briefed Luisa on her assignment, with Nathan telling her in a serious tone, “If Lucinda asks about me, just say that I had to take care of some urgent business at the Payne Group.”
“Understood.”
With one last reminder, Nathan and Sonny left the hospital.
Soon enough, they were at the Payne residence.
Nathan’s mood had grown somber over the drive, his expression turning cold.
As they passed through the gates, he said, “Don’t take me back to N&L Fairy Land once we’re done here. Just take me to your villa and tend to my wounds there.”
Wounds?
Sonny was visibly startled to hear that.
Was Nathan so sure that he would suffer punishment today?
Sonny was still in a daze when Nathan exited the car and walked into the manor in firm, decisive strides.
Sonny stared as he disappeared through the door, and he suddenly had the ominous sense that the huge manor was a giant monster that had just swallowed Nathan, never to spit him out alive.
Terrified that Nathan might be beaten to death this time, he quickly sent Luisa a message before hurrying inside.
Luisa was sitting obediently in the hospital corridor when she received the message. She instantly bolted up from her seat and barged into the examination room.
