Even Lucinda’s macho bodyguards couldn’t stand it. Nathaniel’s pained growling was torture to their ears.
Ten minutes later, Lucinda finally spoke up.
“Open the door and bring him a bucket of iced water.”
The bodyguards were stunned at first, but the next second, they sprang into action.
The door to the basement was opened, flooding the dark room with Light.
The light pulled the shadow of Nathaniel long and narrow.
Nathaniel was curled up on the floor, like a baby in his mother’s belly.
The ground underneath his body was damp with sweat, and his hair was plastered to his forehead. He didn’t even look up when the door was open, looking very helpless and pitiful.
Over the past hour, he had struggled to stay strong, but he still couldn’t help trembling fiercely under the effect of the drug, and his face was now scarlet red.
Feeling the dazzling light on his eyelids, he struggled to raise his head.
His vision was blurred, but he could vaguely make out a familiar figure in front of him.

But at the same time, he felt that the distance between them was huge, like a gap that could never be crossed.
He couldn’t see Lucinda’s expression clearly, but he could feel the coldness emanating from her.
It was her indifference that hurt him the most, and this feeling was even worse than the effect of the drug.
Lucinda watched him from afar, motionless.
She noticed that the moment Nathaniel opened his eyes, he had called out her name. She was a little surprised, but she said nothing.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel was waiting for her to say something-anything.
But what he got was a bucket of iced water, which was poured directly on top of his head.
His fiery body couldn’t bear the sudden change in temperature. He felt cold all over and shivered even more fiercely. His teeth chattered as the cold seemed to seep into his bones, and gradually, he lost consciousness.
