The sound of the door being unlocked woke Nathan up.
Lucinda remained asleep, so he tiptoed out of the room.
Kern was waiting outside the room, and upon seeing Nathan, he smiled and asked, “Did you have a good talk with Miss Simmons last night?
Did something happen between you two?”
His smile was ambiguous.
Nathan’s expression was cold as he didn’t answer the question directly. Instead, he said, “When Miss Simmons wakes up, make sure her have breakfast with Grandpa. If she doesn’t want to, don’t force her.”
“Okay,” Kern replied.
Nathan headed to the next room to freshen up before leaving.
Upon arriving at the villa gate, he heard a voice coming from the corner.
He listened attentively and recognized it to be Sonny’s voice.
Leon seemed to be with him as well.
“Leon, what brings you here so early? Miss Simmons hasn’t woken up yet. You might have to wait a bit longer,” Sonny said.
“It’s no problem. Did she have a drink here last night, though?” She indulged in drinking at the banquet and might get drunk. Did she believe she could handle the drinks as she did before? It is unwise of her to drink so much.”
Leon let out a heavy sigh.
Sonny looked puzzled and asked, “What happened to Miss Simmons?”
Leon hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself on second thought.

“I can’t tell you that. If she finds out later, I’ll be in big trouble.”
Sonny replied, “It’s just the two of us here. She won’t know.
Besides, you know I can keep a secret.”
Nathan, who had been eavesdropping behind the wall, was about to leave. But when he heard the conversation was about Lucinda, he stayed put.
Leon continued, “Do you remember Mr. Roberts’s death six months ago?
Miss Simmons locked herself up in his room after his funeral. She didn’t eat for three whole days and was crying her eyes out. She even drank all the alcohol stored in the villa. On an empty stomach!
Her physical condition has deteriorated since she almost suffered from gastric perforation that time.”
Sonny was taken aback upon hearing this news.
