He was aware of his own physical condition, yet unwilling to burden her with worries.
Sensing his half-hearted response, she pinched his cheek a little harder.
“Louder. I didn’t hear that clearly!”
“Okay!”
She released her grip and gently rubbed his cheek.
She then got lost in her own thoughts.
She pondered over what Kyson had told her, unsure if his words held any truth. Nevertheless, he was her only glimmer of hope at the moment, and she could only give him the benefit of the doubt.

The more she contemplated, the more uneasy she felt.
She wanted to prevent any future misunderstandings this issue could cause between her and Nathan later on.

He locked eyes with her and nodded with no hesitation.
“I can.”
Satisfied with his response, she pressed a tender ki*s to his forehead and asked, “Did you take your medication tonight?”

They barely did anything for him and tasted unbearably bitter.
He simply didn’t like them.
“I feel quite full at the moment. Can I take them later? I don’t want to drink water now.”
Seeing his reluctance, Lucinda stood her ground. She extended her hand and said firmly, “Take your medicine.”
