Nathan ignored Sonny and lifted his pale face, casting a cunning glance at Lucinda.
“To be honest, when your brother attacked me just now, I secretly retreated a little. It didn’t hurt that bad. I just put on a show for him, so don’t worry,” he said.
“Really?” Lucinda asked, unsure whether to believe him.
“Don’t lie to me,” she added, studying his face.
“If I lie to you, I’ll lose all my money and become a beggar,”
Nathan quipped playfully.
Lucinda couldn’t help but chuckle at his words, feeling grateful that he was okay.
Amused, Lucinda responded, “Well then, I’ll take you home and take care of you, you little beggar!”
“But first… Call me Nate again.” Leaning on her shoulder, Nathan spoke weakly.
“I prefer it when you call me like that.”
Caressing his face, Lucinda tenderly ki*sed his lips.
“Alright, I’ll always call you Nate from now on.”
A contented smile spread across his pale face.
Supporting him carefully, she inquired, “Are you able to walk?”
“Absolutely,” he replied.
With her assistance, he slowly made his way toward the car.
Seeing the couple’s backs, Sonny was left in awe.

Lucinda began to undress Nathan as soon as he lay down on the bed.
“Please, be more reserved. Sonny’s here. Let him dress my wound,”
Nathan advised.
Lucinda glared at him.
“What? Are you worried that I’ll get too excited after seeing your body? Relax. You’re seriously injured. I won’t do anything inappropriate,” she assured him.
