The pain was worse than the feeling of sulfuric acid eating away at his back.
Concerned about Nathaniel’s pale face, Abel tried to comfort him, “Don’t worry, Mr. Roberts. It’s late, and Miss Ross must be exhausted from everything that’s happened. She’ll probably come to see you in the morning.”
Nathaniel remained silent, compressing his thin, pale lips into a straight line. He turned over and closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.
He was certain that Lucinda would not show up tonight or even tomorrow.
It was a sleepless night for him, consumed by worry and anxiety.
At the Forden police station.
The police officers had witnessed Lucinda injuring someone and it was already late, so they had to detain her until an official investigation could be conducted the following morning. Consequently, she spent the night at the police station.
Kyson revealed Lucinda’s true identity to Amon, and it terrified him.
“Oh, my God!”
She was the daughter of the head of the Simmons family, the wealthiest family in Stastle, and Graham’s precious sister.
Amon had almost imprisoned such an influential figure last time!
The thought sent shivers down his spine.
As the investigation was still ongoing, he arranged a lavish single room for Lucinda, as well as rooms for Leon and Conor.
It was now late autumn and the cell was rundown, lacking even basic amenities like bed sheets, quilt covers, chairs, or a washing area.

The prisoners had to ask for permission to use the bathroom.
The floor was damp and some prisoners resorted to squatting down to sleep at night.
However, the room for Lucinda was different. It had a bed, carpet, sheets, quilt covers to prevent her from catching a cold, and there was even a computer.
Although the computer was restricted to the internal network of the police station, it served as a way to pass the time and play games when she couldn’t sleep.
From time to time, a police officer would come in and asked if she was hungry, and they would get something for her from a nearby five-star restaurant if she was.
The only downside was that her phone had been confiscated under the rules.
Lying on the cot, Lucinda was bored and began to reflect on the events of the day.
At the bar earlier, she had noticed that Pierre was missing, but Nathaniel had assured her that Sonny was looking for him, so she hadn’t worried too much.
However, the events of tonight were too strange to ignore. She remembered encountering a man in the corridor who matched Pierre’s description. If he was the same person who had tried to kill her, why had he only used sulfuric acid?
Did Nathaniel and his men interrupt their plan?
