“Hmm…‘ Violeta paused, taking a deep breath before continuing.
Whispering into the phone receiver, she said, “If you want to stay there, then stay. I’ll help you persuade Graham, but remember to behave yourself. Don’t…”
However, before she could finish her sentence, the sound of Graham’s roar interrupted her.
“Lucinda, I swear to god, if you sleep with him again, I’ll break your legs! No one can stop me this time!”
The roar was deafening, causing Lucinda to flinch.
She quickly placed the phone receiver far away from her and glanced over at Nathan, relieved to see that he was still sound asleep.
Puzzled, she recalled what Graham had just said.
‘s
It felt as if he was accusing her of being lustful and forcing Nathan to sleep with her.
Frustrated and upset, she muttered in a low voice, “Nathan is still injured. How could I even think of doing something like that? I’m not insane!”
Graham snorted arrogantly in response.
Violeta spoke up.
“Don’t worry, I’ll talk to your brother later. Take good care of Nathan in the meantime. He’s a responsible and handsome man, and I like him a lot.”
“How could you like him? Are you out of your mind, Violeta? Come here!” Graham yelled into the phone.
“Wait, I haven’t even finished the call yet…” Violeta protested, but the line went dead.
The sudden end to the call left Lucinda stunned for a few seconds.

Then she thought of what Violeta had said.
Lucinda felt a pang of worry for Violeta as Graham’s anger seemed to escalate.
She hoped that Violeta would be able to handle it.
She knew that to stay and take care of Nathan, she had to make sacrifices, and this time it seemed that Violeta was the one who would bear the brunt of it.
Letting out a long breath, Lucinda looked down at the man sleeping soundly on her lap. A sudden smile appeared on his face.
It seemed that he had already woken up.
Lucinda realized that he must have overheard her conversation.
“Nate?” Lucinda called out to him softly.
In an instant, his smile disappeared and he pretended to still be sleeping soundly.
