“He intended to splash sulfuric acid on me and harm my partner. I was just defending myself and accidentally hurt him badly.”
Amon looked at the man’s face, which was lacerated by her using the glass bottle, and unconsciously swallowed.
“Accidentally?”
He then spoke seriously.
“Miss Ross, you can explain it later. Right now, you must come with us.”
Lucinda blinked innocently.
“I can comply with the investigation and interrogation, but how long will it take?”
“I’m not sure. It depends on whether you have done anything illegal or not,” Amon answered while putting the handcuffs on her.
Leon and Conor respectively were handcuffed by the other policemen who stepped forward.
“She is going to be taken away. You can’t just sit there and do nothing, Kyson!” Hearing the noise, Sally ran out and grabbed Kyson’s arm.
“Kyson!”
He didn’t say a word but just stared at Lucinda.
Seeing that she was unable to make Kyson move, Sally wanted to rush over and stop Amon from taking Lucinda away. However, Kyson’s subordinates stopped her from doing that.
Nathaniel didn’t regain consciousness until several hours later, having fainted due to his weakened state.
The doctor was distressed at seeing Nathaniel’s weakened state and bandaged the wound on his back. In addition to administering anti- inflammatory medication, the doctor also gave Nathaniel a nutrient solution injection.

Nathaniel scanned the room, but the sight of Lucinda, the person who could make him feel at ease, was nowhere to be found.
Panic set in, and he shook Abel awake.
“Where is Lucinda?” Nathaniel demanded urgently.
Abel, still groggy, yawned and replied, “She stayed to clean up the mess at the bar. I assume she’s returned to the villa to rest after that.”
Frowning, Nathaniel’s voice trembled as he spoke.
“She… didn’t come to check on me?”
“No,” Abel responded, “she asked Rickey and me to take you to the hospital.”
The light in Nathaniel’s eyes dimmed, and his heart ached at the thought of Lucinda not being there for him.
