He was the one who drugged her, yet now, he was pretending to be a good samaritan.
She was speechless.
Her expression darkened, and her eyes took on a viciously cold Light.
This was a really good and unexpected play. And she wasn’t going to let him get away with this.
She grabbed the sides of the bathtub and pulled herself up quietly.
After glancing at the sleeping Nathaniel, she tiptoed out of the bathroom, making sure not to awake him.

Nathaniel looked at Lucinda and explained helplessly, “I did put the sugar on the coffee tray. That much is true. But I swear I didn’t know about the drug.”
Lucinda smiled at him, but it was a smile devoid of warmth.
Obviously, she didn’t believe him.
