Amanda was stunned for a few seconds. Then she suddenly burst into tears in despair.
“I feel fucking terrible! This is all my fault, okay? I was mean to you-I despised you!-but my son is innocent! Please help him! Please, Lucinda! I’m begging you!”
Lucinda sighed exaggeratedly.
“I can’t save him. Only you can.”
Amanda stopped crying and paused for a few seconds. She squinted at Lucinda in confusion and asked, “What do you mean?”
“The reason why Nathaniel ended up in this situation is that he put the drug you gave him into my coffee, and you-“
Before she could finish her sentence, Amanda shouted in a hurry, “No!
This has nothing to do with him! When I asked him to do it, he refused me! I was the one who secretly slipped the drug into his pocket! He didn’t know! I swear on my life, Lucinda! My son is innocent!”
“Oh? Is that so?”
Lucinda stood up and walked up to the hysteric Amanda. Looking down at her, she asked in a low voice, “Then who gave you the drug? Who told you to pretend to be Lame?”
Amanda fell into stunned silence.
With a smile, Lucinda continued, “Given your level of intelligence, all you’d be able to come up with is getting me pregnant with his child. Whoever made you cause so much trouble is using you. You are so stupid!”
It was the first time that Amanda had been scolded like this, but this time, even she had to agree with what Lucinda was saying.
“You’re right! I was just a pawn! It’s Enoch. He said that as long as you get back together with Nathaniel, the Roberts family will be restored to its former glory. I really shouldn’t have believed his nonsense!”
Enoch?
That cunning old man was behind all this!

How shameless he was to resort to such dirty tricks at such an old age!
Amanda was still sobbing uncontrollably, holding Nathaniel in her arms.
“Lucinda, he’s getting colder and colder. Please save him! He’s my life. I can’t live without him!”
Without glancing at Nathaniel, Lucinda offered Amanda a stern warning, “No more chances, Amanda! If you and Vivien don’t behave yourselves, your son will bear the consequences. Try me if you want to find out how long we can torture your precious son in his current physical condition!”
“I promise! Please, I swear, we won’t do anything to hurt you again.”
Amanda shook her head. Her face was pale, while her throat glowed pink.
Believing that Amanda had accepted her situation, Lucinda asked Conor to take her back to the Roberts mansion.
When Amanda had left, Abel checked on Nathaniel.
