As Lucinda walked by Graham’s room, she keenly heard a feeble chant emanating from inside.

Inside, Graham staggered while trying to kneel on the floor. His difficulty was evident. After taking a brief break, he resumed his recitation.
Worried about his well-being, she thought that if he continued this strenuous routine for a few more days, he might end up losing his voice forever.
She frowned and wore a serious look.
This time, instead of leaving quietly, Lucinda stepped into the room.
The sound of the door opening startled Graham, causing him to stop reading.

Lucinda stood still, keeping her distance.
After a moment of waiting, Graham didn’t hear any response from the intruder. Confused, he turned his head to look back.
Upon seeing Lucinda, he was taken aback and remained silent.

Her gaze remained firm and icy, as she added, “Even if you were to lose your voice, I wouldn’t be moved.”
With his head lowered, Graham swallowed and tried to hide the disappointment and sadness in his eyes.
Without uttering a word, he turned away and adjusted himself into a standard kneeling position, then resumed his reading.
Lucinda frowned and her expression darkened with frustration. He was incredibly stubborn!
Recalling the report she received from Abel that morning, she said, “Valerie drugged my bodyguards and managed to escape. Are you aware of this?”
Graham halted his chanting, turning around to face her with a serious gaze.
“I genuinely don’t know anything about that,” he replied earnestly.
