Locking eyes with Cyrus, Noelle agreed.
Meanwhile, in the lab, Lucinda peacefully slept as she received a transfusion on the hospital bed.
Stationed by her side, Nathan diligently tended to her wounds with a stack of medical supplies on the bedside table.
Lucinda, with her delicate and tender skin, suffered severe injuries from the weighty metal handcuffs.
Thankfully, Nathan administered a tranquilizer just in time, preventing Lucinda from having to endure the removal of a Layer of skin.
Watching the affection between the two, Aldric stood by the door and let out a heartfelt sigh.
Life, he pondered, was a succession of highs and lows, Lately leaning heavily towards the latter.
Recalling their shared history, Aldric couldnt remember a time when Nathan and Lucinda had enjoyed a peaceful life.
As these thoughts occupied Aldrics mind, Nathan inquired, Can you propose an alternative method, one that doesnt rely on tranquilizers but still expedites Lucindas recovery from exhaustion?
Aldric responded with a sigh, Nathan, if only such a perfect solution were conceivable.
The radiance in Nathans eyes diminished.

Sensing Nathans low mood, Aldric suggested a solution, Temporarily, the most effective approach would be to confine Lucinda in the basement overnight.
Nathan didnt cast him a glance, not interested in the idea.
Aldric then pondered on another option and proposed, Alternatively, we could revamp the basement and fill it with stress-relief items to offer her an outlet without causing her harm. You can lock Lucinda in there at night, and once her energy wanes, bring her to the lab for a drip infusion.
He paused and then went on, Consider it, Nathan. This seems the best option so far. It safeguards Lucinda without causing you harm.
After a moment of contemplation, Nathan entertained the idea. Ill discuss it with her when she wakes up tomorrow.
Over two hours later, Nathan traversed the winding alley of the Payne family estate, cradling the sleeping Lucinda in his arms.
While he walked, he pondered over Aldrics suggestion.
The more he mulled it over, the more he found merit in giving this method a chance.
Upon returning, Nathan settled Lucinda in her room to rest. After spending the afternoon catching up on sleep, he now found himself unable to do so. So he opted to spend the time revamping the basement.
Nathan dedicated himself wholeheartedly to the task.
There were no mornings for Lucinda after she got ill.
She would wake up either early noon or late in the afternoon.
