She was bubbly and bright.
Nathan had hoped that the virus in his body could be suppressed so he could live a long, healthy and happy life alongside her.
But now the virus had spread, making his past hopes seem Like wild fantasies.
His body was broken. He was just a dying man who didn’t deserve someone like Lucinda.
He was the one holding her back.
“Nathan?”
Lucinda’s soft voice brought him back to reality.
Regaining his composure, Nathan immediately put on a cold expression.
“I’m fine. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and check.”
“I don’t buy it. You don’t look alright. You can’t deceive me. I want you to tell me yourself what’s going on with you. And what were you and Valerie up to when I walked in? Why do I feel like you were deliberately trying to provoke me…”
“I like her a lot,”
Nathan said, abruptly cutting her off.

Lucinda was taken aback. She withdrew her hands from his lap and stood up. She took a step back as she gazed at him, perplexed.
He tried to avoid her eyes by looking at the rain outside.
“She is sweet, beautiful, and gentle. No man can resist a woman like her. So, what do you think I was doing with her just now?”
Lucinda retreated a couple more steps and her eyes turned dark.
“Do you dislike me now?”

A cold sneer played across Nathan’s eyes as he replied, “Compared to her, you come off as arrogant, controlling, and ruthless. I’ve been chasing after you for so long, but now I’m worn out and want to try someone else.”
Looking at his handsome face, Lucinda narrowed her eyes and said, “Nathan, you’ve changed…”
“Men continually crave excitement and pursue novelty. It’s not that I’ve changed. I’m just not a good guy to begin with. Lucinda, now that you see me for who I am, you can leave.”
The atmosphere hung heavy for a few minutes after Nathan spoke.
Lucinda stood stunned.
Nathan kept on gazing outside the window. There was no hesitation or regret in his cold black eyes. He looked detached and indifferent.
