Restlessness consumed Lucinda as she sat at her desk. She propped her chin up with her hands and her gaze was fixated on the rain outside the window.
Nathan’s strange behavior the night before replayed in her mind like a looping animation. This made her pay no attention to Vivian’s report which was before her.

In the president’s office of Payne Group, Nathan sat wearily in front of the window. His eyes were dull, devoid of their usual vitality.
As he gazed at the raindrop trails on the window, memories of Kyson’s words came rushing back to him.
“Long-term presence of the virus in your body leads to consequences.
Eventually, you’ll become disabled. Sure, she may sympathize with you in the short term, but as time goes by…
From the moment that virus entered your system, you can’t possibly measure up to her with your frail body!
If I can’t be with her, neither can you!”
