Lucinda just narrowed her eyes and left the abandoned construction site.
Nathaniel asked Sonny to drive his car back while he went back with Lucinda in her car.
On the way back, Nathaniel sat upright, making sure his back didn’t touch the back seat of the chair.
Lucinda was confused by his posture, but she brushed it off, thinking it was because of the burn on his back.
“Did you get anything out of Kyson today?” She looked at him briefly.
After about two seconds of hesitation, he said, “No, but don’t fret over it. I will make sure he spits the truth out tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
After that, the car ride was a silent one.
Not long after, they arrived at the Bay Villa and went in together.
While Lucinda was changing her shoes, Nathaniel had already changed his and was going upstairs, holding onto the banister for support.
Just two steps in, he suddenly stopped as if remembering something and turned to Lucinda.
“Lucinda, are you hungry? I… I’m a little tired. I want to sleep for half an hour before cooking.”
Lucinda found him to be very strange, but she nodded curtly.
“Sure.
I’m not hungry, so I can eat later.”

“Okay, I’ll head upstairs then.”
Lucinda just stood there and watched him go up until he disappeared in the second floor.
She didn’t know exactly why, but she felt like something was wrong.
In the car earlier, she seemed to have noticed a hard look on his face. It was as though he was struggling to endure… Pain?
Was the burn on his back more serious than what she thought?
With this in mind, she went after him to the second floor.
The door to his room was not locked, so she pushed it open slightly and saw him lying peacefully on the bed as though he was already sleeping.
She might have let it go and gone back, but he was lying on his stomach, and he still had his suit jacket on.
She opened the door widely, went to his bedside and sat by him.
