Nathaniel was staring at the sunset, lost in thought. He didn’t even notice her presence until she walked up to him.
“You’re back!”
He tried to stand up, but it was obviously a struggle.
“I was so absorbed in the sunset that I forgot the time. Are you hungry? Let me cook you something.”
“No need. If you aren’t feeling well, I’ll give you the day off.”
Lucinda pressed his shoulder and made him sit back down.
The second she touched him, she felt that his body was chilly.
Lucinda frowned.
“Why are you so cold? And you look pale. Does your back still hurt?”
Nathaniel smiled at her reassuringly.
“No, it doesn’t hurt anymore.
Maybe I’ve been lying in bed for so long, which would explain why my body is cold. I’ll be fine after resting for a few days.”
Lucinda narrowed her eyes at him. She didn’t believe a word he said.
His voice was weak, and his body trembled ever so slightly. It was as clear as day that he was struggling to stay composed.
“Let me see the wound,” she said decisively, reaching out to take off his suit.
Nathaniel, however, clutched his collar tightly.

He was right.
Realizing this, Lucinda let go of him.
Nathaniel immediately lost his balance, and his body swayed unsteadily. He hurriedly grabbed the arms of the chair to steady himself .
Noticing that Lucinda was staring at him, he pretended to be relaxed and said, “It’s rare to see you care about me like this. I’m honored.”
Lucinda rolled her eyes at him in exasperation.
But because he did save her this time, she didn’t try to fight him.
