“You’re such a… heartless woman.”
It was absurd, but Nathaniel loved everything about her, including her callousness.
He was hopelessly stuck and couldn’t escape.
Lucinda didn’t deny.
“I’ve never claimed to be a saint.”
Nathaniel’s eyelashes quivered slightly as he wore a faint smile on his face.
He gazed into the sky with dull eyes, looking like he was on the brink of death.
The more Lucinda observed Nathaniel, the more perplexed she became.
He was in such a terrible state.
Sulfuric acid wouldn’t have damaged his organs, especially since she had given him the antidote to the 023.
“Was the hospital you went to yesterday not good enough? Let’s go to the best hospital in Forden and have you checked out again.”
She attempted to lift him up, but her efforts were halted by a knock at the door, signaling the arrival of Pierre. He opened the door and walked in, “Mr. Shaw is here, and his car is parked at the villa’s gate. He wishes to take you out for dinner tonight,” Pierre informed her.
After some consideration, Lucinda decided to take Nathaniel to the hospital before meeting Kyson.
“Let’s go for your check-up first.”
However, Nathaniel refused softly, “I’m alright. I just need some rest, and I’ll be fine in a couple of days. You go ahead and enjoy your dinner. Don’t keep him waiting too long.”
Lucinda scowled at his words.

The last time Kyson had invited her for dinner, Nathaniel had made a scene to garner her attention in front of a crowd at the police station.
This time, he didn’t put up any resistance when Lucinda was about to go out for dinner with Kyson. In fact, he encouraged her to go.
Standing by the door, Pierre asked cautiously, “Shall we go now?”
Lucinda remained silent and turned her gaze to Nathaniel as her brows furrowed in concern.
Nathaniel, however, fixated his look on the sky. He appeared distant and aloof, as if he didn’t want anyone to come near him.
Lucinda couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was wrong with him.
Despite this, she knew she had something important to attend to at that moment.
“Nathaniel, can you tell me the truth? Are you really okay?” Lucinda asked, her voice laced with concern.
