Nathan, do you recall the time I bit you until you bled?
Yes, I remember. Nathan sensed the gravity in her voice. He turned to her and inquired, Whats wrong?
Her expression turned serious. I find it hard to manage my emotions.
In truth, she hadnt intended to be so harsh with him tonight, but in that moment, it seemed she couldnt control herself and simply needed to release her anger.
Why was this happening?
Could she be unwell as well?
Nathan expressed his worry. Are you unwell? How about a complete check-up at the hospital tomorrow?
Lucinda declined, No way. Remember when I bit you, and we visited Aldric? He said I was perfectly fine. I just had some mood swings due to sleepless nights during my pregnancy and some stress. I doubt another check-up would show anything different. Maybe Im just overthinking.

Nathans concern for Lucinda remained.
He advised, Maybe its worth a second look. Even if it seems Like a tiny issue now, it could sneakily grow into a bigger concern later.
Theres no point. Aldric is one of the best in Cadiered. If even he cant pinpoint an issue, I doubt any other doctor can. Why bother?

.
Lucinda countered.
Gently, she touched the bruise on Nathans buttock, suggesting, I can ask the hotel staff to fetch some anti-inflammatory cream for you.
Ill apply it on you.
Nathan shook his head, cautioning, Hold off on that idea. This place is Ellsworths territory. If you ask the waiter for some anti-inflammatory cream, word will get back to Ellsworth. By then hell get the wind that Ive taken a beating.
Lucinda nodded in agreement.
How about you cozy up in bed while I step out and buy it? she offered.
As Lucinda tried to leave the bed, Nathan grabbed her waist, keeping her right where she was.
Look, Ive been in the military. Im not fragile. Ill be alright in a couple of days. If you want to help, skip the flight tomorrow and come with me to Aldorias main shopping area, alright?
Lucinda stayed silent.
Nathan persisted, saying, Lets do some shopping tomorrow, then get our plane tickets and head back to Cadiered the day after tomorrow.
If youre concerned about our little ones, we can video chat with Kyson before bedtime and check in on our babies regularly.
As Nathan wrapped his arms around Lucindas waist, she tilted her head, peered at him, and playfully questioned, You are not jealous of Kyson now, huh? Remember when I had that video call with him, you got quite upset?
Nathan hugged Lucinda tightly as if he never wanted to let her go.
