“You know, I don’t Like owing people anything. Since you saved me, I’ll let you make one request.”
“Anything?”
Nathaniel raised his head slightly and looked at her with an expectant gleam in his eyes.
Lucinda added hurriedly, “Except for remarriage or anything romantic like that. I’ll do whatever is in my power to meet your request.
Just tell me.”
Nathaniel just grinned even wider.
She knew clearly that getting back with her was the only thing he wanted…
Anyway, it didn’t matter now. He didn’t have much time left.
“Okay, just stand there and don’t move.”
Lucinda nodded and obediently stood still.
Nathaniel sat up straight. He plucked up the courage to slip his hands around her slender waist.
“My request is that you let me hold you for a while.”
Her body was warm, a stark contrast to Nathaniel’s cold body.
This simple hug warmed his heart.
“Really? Just a hug?”
Lucinda’s eyebrows shot up in surprise.
Was his request really so simple?

“Yes, please indulge me…”
Lucinda didn’t move. She stood still, letting him rest his head against her belly.
But after standing quietly for a while, she suddenly realized that her hands were hanging awkwardly by her sides.
Since this was his only request, it was inappropriate for her to not hug him back.
So she subconsciously stretched out her hands…
But she stopped halfway, her arms floating mid-air.
Because of the wound on his back, she figured she might hurt him if she hugged him like this. Instead, she decided to pat his head.
