The bodyguards then left the ward of their own accord and closed the door behind them.
Lucinda walked straight to the chair and sat down. She examined Nathaniel’s expression and frowned.
“Aren’t you feeling better? Why do you still look so pale?”
Nathaniel gave a faint smile and replied, “I am feeling better. My face is pale because I am weak right now. I’ll be fine by tomorrow.”
He reached out for the delicate breakfast that remained untouched on the bedside table and spoke in a soft tone.
“Hey, you haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? I ordered an extra breakfast, made by Doug Hotel’s seven-star chef. It’s delicious. Give it a try.”
But before he could touch the breakfast, a sudden pain shot from the wound on his back.
The pain quickly spread throughout his body.
Nathaniel tried his best to suppress the sharp pain without showing any expression on his face. Sweat formed on his forehead and his knuckles trembled slightly.
Noticing something was amiss, Lucinda declined, “No, I already had breakfast at the police station. I’m not hungry right now.”
Nathaniel didn’t insist. With a calm expression, he withdrew his trembling hand and tucked it under the quilt.
Lucinda tentatively asked about the strange incident that happened earlier that morning.
“I encountered something very odd this morning.
I haven’t given a statement yet, but the police released me on bail, saying it was authorized by the National Security Bureau.”
She was observing Nathaniel’s expression with a smile.
Nathaniel listened attentively, his brow furrowed in slight surprise.
“Really?”

Continuing the conversation, Lucinda said, “It’s strange that I don’t know anyone from the National Security Bureau. I’m not sure if they helped me with good or bad intentions.”
Indifferently, Nathaniel replied, “Maybe the person who helped you is a friend of Cyrus. It’s not surprising.”
She stared at him in silence, waiting for more.
In the past, he would have been jealous and tried to get her attention when he found out that another man just helped her, but now he was being totally cool with it.
She wondered why he had suddenly become so indifferent.
Nathaniel asked, “Lucinda, did you rest at all in the police station last night? Why don’t you go back to the villa and take a nap?” “I’m fine. I’ll leave the hospital tomorrow,” he added.
She wondered why he was trying to send her away on purpose.
