Her patience had run out.
“Since you refuse to speak, I don’t need to keep asking. Just so you know, someone has to face the consequences.”
She shouted towards the door, “Abel, Leon, come in!”
Two men entered the room.
Lucinda’s smile was cruel as she said, “Put him in jail and tell them to take ‘special care’ of him!”
Abel immediately stepped forward to speak up for Nathaniel.
“No, please don’t do this With his current physical condition, he’ll die there in jail in less than three days!”
Lucinda gave him a cold look and said, “Fine. You can go in his place. I’ll ask them to take good care of you.”
Abel was left speechless.
Suddenly, he suppressed his sympathy for Nathaniel and had no choice but to get him off the bed with Leon.
Nathaniel was still running a fever.
Despite feeling woozy, he heard her say something about jail.
Abel and Leon tried to hold him, but Nathaniel broke free and refused to leave the bed. Confused, he looked at Lucinda and asked, “I just sent Brinleigh abroad, not to jail. Why would I go to jail because of it?”
Lucinda sneered.
“What does Brinleigh have to do with this? Don’t you try to distract me!” “Take him away!”
After a moment of shock, Nathaniel realized there might be some serious misunderstanding.

When Abel and Leon received the order and was about to remove him from the bed, Nathaniel seized the opportunity and lunged at her.
Lucinda took a step back.
Nathaniel fell to the ground, and uttered with his eyes on her, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but all I did was send Brinleigh away!”
Gritting her teeth, she pinched his cheek and reminded him word by word.
“Last might you confessed to taking Eleanor away, and now you’re denying it. Do you think I’m a fool?”
“Eleanor?”
Nathaniel was taken aback and his face showed confusion upon hearing the news.
“What about Eleanor? Shouldn’t she be in prison now?” he asked.
