She tore the bandages, and just as she had expected, no fresh wound.
It was just a long scar.
She glared at him and said sarcastically, “It’s a miracle how you got hurt yesterday and the wound has already scabbed.”
Nathaniel’s heart skipped a beat.
Where the hell did Sonny get such an idea from? Nathaniel had told him that Lucinda would figure it out quickly.
And Lucinda had made it clear that the one thing she hated the most was being deceived. Now, not only did he lie to her, but she personally caught him red-handed.
Left with no way out of this one, Nathaniel dropped to his knees and said pitifully, “I’m sorry, Lucinda. I didn’t mean to lie to you.”
Each time he played this pitiful card in the past, Lucinda always knew he was pretending, but she didn’t want to expose him.

He was clearly admitting that he had been lying to her for the past days.
“What the hell do you mean by she doesn’t deserve me?” Lucinda clenched her fists, feeling her control on her anger slipping away.
Then she asked, “Are you saying she doesn’t deserve that I personally teach her a lesson? Is that why you hid her somewhere? So that I will never hurt her?”
What she said sounded really strange to Nathaniel.
Her assumption was actually right, but he couldn’t tell why it sounded so strange when she said it out loud.
When he didn’t say anything, Lucinda spat out through gritted teeth, “Where is she?”
Still, he said nothing.
He had asked Sonny to put Brinleigh on any ship, so he didn’t even know which country he was sent to.
Finally, Nathaniel shook his head negatively.
