Lucinda nodded in agreement. Then she turned her gaze towards Nathan and said seriously, Honey, I have a suspicion that Mekhi might have administered some illicit substance to Noelle. Aldric is an expert with drugs. If we were to take Noelle to him, could he determine what kind of drug she was injected with?
Nathan pondered for a moment and responded, We can attempt it tomorrow, but Noelles current condition is far too unstable. When she awakens, she might pose a danger to herself and others. Ill instruct my team to investigate the labs drug profile first.
Kyson had exploited his position to steal the 404 Virus, and Mekhi, being Kysons brother, might be up to something similar.
Lucinda nodded, realizing that in this dire situation, she had no choice but to exhaust every possible avenue for a solution.
During dinner, the atmosphere was heavy, and no one had much of an appetite. Cyrus didnt go downstairs. He continued to look after Noelle, who was sleeping soundly under the effect of the tranquilizer.
The more Lucinda dwelled on Noelles plight, the more her anger grew.
She turned to Nathan and asked, Even though we havent found concrete evidence against Mekhi, youre his superior. Can you find a way to make him pay for what he has done to Noelle?
After a moment of contemplation, Nathan replied, Lucinda, none of you should take matters into your own hands. If you want to teach him a lesson, I can handle it.
Okay. She felt relieved and hoped that Nathan would make Mekhis life unbearable.
After dinner, Sonny and Luisa left NL Fairy Land and returned home.
Lucinda made her way to the babies room on the fourth floor and spent some quality time with her kids.
The doctor, whom Sonny had brought, stayed in the guest room, tending to Noelles needs and closely monitoring her condition.

Nathan retreated to his bedroom and dedicated himself to working overtime in order to complete his tasks.
In the quiet night, everyone was busy with their own activities.
Lucinda devoted two hours to playing with the babies. Only after they had drifted into sleep did she tenderly massage her aching neck and retire to her own room.
Seeing the fatigue etched in her eyes, Nathan set aside his computer and slipped out of bed to hold her in his warm embrace.
Lucinda was utterly drained after a long day.
He settled at the edge of the bed and allowed her to lie down. With practiced hands, he gently worked her shoulders and neck.
This was a skill hed honed during her pregnancy, when she was always exhausted.
As his hands worked their magic, Lucinda began to sleep off.
Seeing this, he ceased the massage and pulled her close.

He whispered in her ear seductively, Lucinda, my arms ache from that extended massage. It felt heavenly, didnt it? Now its your turn to make me feel good.
Lucinda clung to him and muttered, Not tonight. Im very sleepy
Besides, there are countless unresolved matters burdening my thoughts.
Im just not in the mood.
A crease formed on Nathans forehead as he retorted, You can ponder those matters tomorrow. They are not our problems. You shouldnt let them affect us.
No, Im just too exhausted.
Disregarding her objections, he scooped her up and gently laid her on the bed. With a mischievous grin, he quipped, All you need to do is lie back. Ill keep you entertained.
Lucinda closed her eyes, yearning for nothing more than sleep. She didnt stir until Nathan began undressing her.
Hey, you!
He silenced her with a kis.
This marked the beginning of a night. It was already too late for her to resist Nathans desires.
