A minute later, Abel appeared from out of nowhere. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he complained, “Why are you shouting? Don’t you know what time it is?”
“Why are you alone?” Nathaniel frowned.
“Conor and Jose sent Mr. Hernandez home. I don’t know why they haven’t come back yet. Rickey is with Mr. Cyrus, and Miss Lucinda sent Leon away on a task. I’m the only one here tonight.”
Because Lucinda was a master at martial arts, they usually weren’t on duty at night. If there was an emergency, Lucinda could always sound the alarm.
Not wanting to waste time, Nathaniel went straight to the point.
“There aren’t any sedatives or glucose solutions here. I need you to go out and buy some.”
“Where am I going to buy sedatives or glucose solutions at this hour?”
“Just do it! This is an emergency!” Nathaniel shouted anxiously.
Seeing how anxious Nathaniel looked, Abel chose to believe him.

The burning sensation in her body was now just a distant memory.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in the bathtub, fully-clothed, and Nathaniel was leaning against the bathtub, sleeping.

Nathaniel looked exhausted, with his brows furrowed tightly in his sleep.
Lucinda stared at his face quietly.
There was a faint palm print on his cheek, which was red and slightly swollen, and the blood at the corner of his mouth was caked.
In a word, he looked miserable.
Although last night was hazy in her memory, judging from the current situation, she believed that Nathaniel hadn’t done anything inappropriate to her.
She pursed her lips and suddenly tasted something sweet on her lips.
