Lucinda was relieved to hear that.
She opened her mouth to ask about the situation more, but Cyrus held up his hand to stop her.
“You just woke up.
Why are you pestering me with all these questions?
You should sleep some more.
”
Lucinda stared at him in silence, her face pale and her lips almost the same colorless shade.
After a while, Cyrus caved in.
“All right, you win.
I already know what you’re about to ask.
I’ll tell you all the details why you have some soup, how about that?”
Lucinda smiled in triumph and nodded obediently.
Cyrus sighed again before fluffing up her pillows so that she could sit up morefortably while she have her soup.

“I hurried over as soon as I received your message.
I arrived at the scene to find you standing at the edge of the bridge and hollering your heart out.
Don’t ever do that again, by the way! I was terrified out of my wits.
”
Lucinda merely smiled and nodded again.
“I’ve Looked into those thugs,” Cyrus continued, “but I couldn’t find anything regarding their identities.
They are all skilled killers trained by the mafia.
Whatever background they used to have were wiped out.
But whoever hired them, the person who was willing to spend so much money to get rid of you… It is very likely that they are that person from the Simmons family, who tried to hurt you before.
”
All this time, Cyrus and his brothers, even their father, had investigated the matter, but they were never able to find anything.
Graham had even deployed his connections in the mafia, all to no avail.
Lucinda took a sip of her soup and said, “There is more than one member of the Simmons family that wants me gone.
It looks like they have nned this thoroughly.
”
“But why do they only target at you?” Cyrus frowned.
Lucinda gave this some thought, but had to shake her head in the end.
“I have no idea.
Maybe it has something to do with the family business and the right to inheritance.
”
She was the youngest child and the only daughter of the Simmons family.
Because of this, Atticus had taken measures early and had awyer draw up his will a long time ago.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
Lucinda was set to inherit all the family assets.
It was quite a fortune, and one would have to be a saint not to covet it.
Cyrus considered her words and thought that it made sense.
“In that case, I have a rough idea of who are probably involved.
Don’t worry, it’s only a matter of time before we catch them.
”
But these were still just conjectures.
Lucinda thought back to the little girl who had appeared in her mind before she fainted.
And the words she had said… They kept repeating in Lucinda’s head, as she had really heard them before in real life, as if that scene had really happened.
She had lost her memory once before, but she had eventually recovered.
So, what was that scene with the little girl all about?
