Don’t let yourself get so worked up. It’s excruciating to have a angina attack.”
He muttered as he quickly took out the pill and put it into Nathan’s mouth.
It would take a while for the pill to completely take effect. Aldric helped Nathan to bed and tucked him in.
Aldric stayed by Nathan’s side for a few more hours. He was not relieved until Nathan was completely worn out and drifted into sleep.
That night, Lucinda found it impossible to fall asleep.
Staring at the ceiling lamp, she was suddenly reminded of the last time Nathan was on a mission. A bullet had nearly pierced his heart, causing significant bleeding.
This time, he had gone to the border, a place known for its chaotic nature and formidable fighters.
She hadn’t received any messages from Nathan, leaving her unsure whether he had any injuries or had successfully resolved the matter at hand.
Lost in her thoughts, Lucinda eventually drifted off to sleep.
Due to her restless night, she went to the office the next day with sleep-deprived eyes.
But as night fell, the man she longed for suddenly returned.
She dashed up the stairs, lifting the hem of her dress, and burst open the bedroom door without hesitation.
There sat Nathan on the bed, engrossed in a book.
Each movement of his slender fingers as they flipped through the book exuded a noble elegance that was unmatched.
Even in his relaxed posture against the headboard, he remained undeniably handsome.
Hearing the sound of the door, Nathan turned his tender gaze towards her and softly called out, “Lucinda.”
With a smile, she climbed onto the bed and sat on his legs. Cupping his handsome face in her hands, she observed his face closely.

She gently pressed her lips against his cold, thin ones like a child savoring candy, and giggled.
“Why didn’t you let me know you were coming back? If I hadn’t seen Sonny standing by the door, I wouldn’t have had a clue. Were you planning to surprise me?”
With a faint smile on his face, Nathan tried to conceal the weakness in his eyes.
“Yes, it was meant to be a surprise,” he replied.
Despite his efforts to act normal, Lucinda noticed a tinge of sadness in his demeanor and that his voice was unusually hoarse.
“Didn’t things go well at the border? Why do I feel like you are not happy?”
