Despite his brave words, Lucinda didn’t want to cause him more pain.
“I’ll try to control my emotions better from now on. Besides, things are looking up now. I should be content and happy.”
Nathan looked into her smiling eyes, understanding that beneath the surface, she still carried the pain of Graham’s betrayal. Yet, he didn’t push her to talk about it; he simply wanted to support her in every way he could.
Back in N&L Fairy Land, Lucinda and Nathan found themselves busy with their respective tasks.
Lucinda had signed the inheritance agreement and now had a lot of matters to handle.

Taking the guidance of Ismael, she delved into her work, setting up her makeshift office in the study at home.
Nathan, being the devoted husband he was, sat beside her on a small stool, providing comfort and support. He massaged her back and shoulders when she felt tired, fetched refreshments when she was taking breaks.
Meanwhile, he was also busy with work.
Both of them worked silently, but there was a deep understanding between them.
A mere glance conveyed their unspoken thoughts, and they seamlessly cooperated with each other.
As the afternoon passed quickly, someone arrived at N&L Fairy Land around dinner time.
It was Violeta.
Though Lucinda had mixed feelings about her brother, she had no beef with Violeta and welcomed her into the house. However, Violeta insisted on standing at the door.
Lucinda noticed the redness in Violeta’s eyes, indicating she had been crying a lot lately. She had a hunch about the reason for Violeta’s visit.
“If you came to ask me to forgive Graham, you can leave now,”
Lucinda asserted firmly.
Tears streamed down Violeta’s cheeks as she held Lucinda’s hand, her voice choked with sobs.
“Lucinda, please come back with me to check on him. He’s not in a good condition. He got a fever after he came back from your place.
But he refused to see a doctor or take medicine. He’s being so stubborn, and in the past two days, he has been hurting himself. I’m really worried about him.”
Lucinda furrowed her brows and glanced at Nathan, seeking his support.
She was confused by Violeta’s words.
“He hurt himself? What exactly did he do?”
Unable to fully articulate her worries, Violeta continued, “He doesn’t know I’m here. I came to see you on my own. I’m not asking you to forgive him. I just want you to come back with me and see him, Please…”
Lucinda recalled the care Violeta had shown her in the past and decided to go with her. The two women set off, leaving N&L Fairy Land behind as they headed to check on Graham.
