Finally, in a remote house, she spotted the familiar tall figure.
Nathaniel’s jacket was neatly buttoned up by Sonny.

Nathaniel took a deep breath and looked at Lucinda with a tender expression, despite the sharp pain on his back.
“Why have you come?” he asked.
Lucinda did not respond to his question. Instead, she wore a serious expression and furrowed her brow.
“I saw Sonny assisting with your buttons when I entered. What were you doing?” she inquired.

“You were fine this morning. Why are you so weak now?” she questioned Nathaniel.
Nathaniel covered his lips with his fist and coughed slightly, trying to maintain his composure.
“Maybe I caught a cold last night. It’s not a big deal. I’ll take some medicine when I get back,” he replied.
