Lucinda wore a serious expression on her face. She pulled up a small stool and sat in front of Nathaniel.
“I’m not giving you the antidote to force you to terminate the agreement. I know you’ve been suffering from constant pain recently, and the @23 will only make it worse. You saved me this time, and I want to help you relieve the pain. Consider it a reward for what you’ve done.”
Nathaniel remained silent, staring at her intently.
Lucinda paused and went on, “I still have your recorded promise, so we’re still bound by our agreement. You don’t have to worry about that anymore.”
Did this mean she no longer held a grudge against him?
Did it mean that all the things he had done lately had brought him closer to her?
“Aren’t you scared that I’d cause harm to you if you give me the antidote? I will become strong enough to defeat you.”
Lucinda responded with an enchanting smile.
“Do you think I have reason to be scared?” she asked.
Nathaniel’s lips formed a faint smile as he replied firmly, “No, you don’t. I will never hurt you.”
Lucinda’s eyes narrowed, and her lips suddenly curled into a mischievous grin.
“Aren’t you afraid that the antidote I gave you is not the real one, but something that will harm you more?”
“I know you won’t do that to me.”
And even if she chose to be that cruel, in as much as it was her request, he would inject it with no hesitation.
Lucinda let out a small chuckle.
“You really have faith in me, don’t you?” she said, amused.
“But don’t worry, this is the real antidote.
Inject it now,” Lucinda said, sounding indifferent.

Now?
Nathaniel stared at the small box he was holding.
His body was weak and he trembled like a leave. He was at the verge of losing the little strength he had left.
If he injected the antidote now, Lucinda would undoubtedly find something wrong with his body.
She didn’t want to feel indebted to anyone. If she was aware that it was not sulfuric acid, but S404 virus that was spilled over on him, she would have felt guilty.
Guilt was not the same as love anyway.
