“No, thank you,” she declined.
“I don’t feel cold.”
Despite her refusal, Kyson grinned and draped the coat over her shoulders.
Lucinda furrowed her brows and felt frustrated.
It seemed like he still hadn’t comprehended what she had told him during lunch.
Before she could say anything, Malcolm abruptly showed up and whispered into her ear, “Miss Simmons, Mr. Simmons sent me to find you. Your suspicion was correct. Three groups of people were dispatched over the last few days to hunt down the assassins who were released. One of them perished during the pursuit, and the other was rescued by us. He mentioned he wanted to talk to you.”
“Okay, it’s time for us to go,” Lucinda said. She was about to leave with Malcolm, but Kyson stopped them.
“Lucinda, maybe I should go with you?”
Without hesitating, she said, “No, thanks. You must have plenty of things to deal with in Forden. Goodbye.”
She took two steps forward and then remembered she was still wearing Kyson’s coat. She took it off and handed it to him.
Kyson refused to take it.
“It’s getting cold. Wear it,” he said, gently.
Lucinda tried to pass the coat to his man. The man glanced at Kyson then shook his head in fear. He didn’t dare accept it.
Annoyed, she draped the coat over a flowerpot and left with Malcolm.
Kyson watched her leave and then frowned at his coat.
His face darkened.
“Send people to keep an eye on Nathaniel Roberts.
Report back immediately if there is anything wrong. Tell them to hide themselves well. Nathaniel’s man is not easy to deal with. I also need you to investigate Nathaniel’s identity.”
“Of course, Mr. Shaw.”
His man held the coat out for Kyson to put on.

Kyson scolded him, “How dare you offer me a dirty coat? Throw it away!”
By the time Lucinda arrived at Cyrus’ villa, the killer had been taken to the private doctor’s room. The same room where Eleanor had been treated.
Lucinda opened the door. The man lay on the bed. An intravenous drip had been attached to his hand to replace the lost fluids.
He sat up when he saw Lucinda.
