“Thank you for the compliment.”
Lucinda glared at the man, who looked immensely pleased with himself.
“Why did you pretend to be in pain in front of Violeta? Is it because you know you’re almost healed and that it’s time for me to go back to my family?” Lucinda pinched his earlobe harder.
Nathan whimpered in agony but did not try to escape from her grasp.

Lucinda continued to take care of Nathan while she worked from the comfort of his home, with the help of Vivian.
