“No.
I’L do it,”
Conor said bitterly.
Conor raged inwardly.

Nathaniel didn’t raise his head.
His voice was weak; his eyshes fluttered; his lips trembled, and his face was pale.

Nathaniel’s fingers trembled around her wrist, but his grip was firm.
“How have you been these days while staying with Cyrus?” he asked.

Was he pretending to care so she would take pity on him?
“No one bothers me there.
Mr.
Simmons is gentle and considerate.
So I’m very happy.
