Lucinda racked her brains, but she couldn’t figure it out.


    “Cyrus, tell me.


    Does Dad have another daughter besides me?”


    Cyrus bowed his head, lost in thought.


    After a while, he shook his head and said, “No.


    Dad is no longer young.


    He was already advanced in years when you were born.


    I’ve heard that Florrie has been on the hunt for ways to get pregnant, but I haven’t heard of her ever actually being pregnant.


    ”


    Florrie Olson was Lucinda’s stepmother, and she was only three years older than Lucinda, which didn’t make for a great rtionship between the two.


    Whenever they were in the same room together, it seemed like it wouldn’t be long before they were at each other’s throats.


    Lucinda took a moment to ponder.


    She had a feeling that the little girl that had been on her mind was connected to her memory loss and her exile to Forden many years ago.


    Sadly, she couldn’t remember a thing.


    She resolved to look into the issue.


    But she had to let it go for the time being.


    “By the way, Cyrus,” she asked, changing the subject, “how did you handle those people fromst night?”


    Cyrus fell silent after hearing this.


    The night before, when Cyrus arrived at the bridge, the fight was already winding down.


    Nathaniel had shown up before he could get there.


    Cyrus only cleared up the mess.


    He left some people alive so that he could interrogate themter.


    He mulled over Lucinda’s question for a moment, not wanting to bring up Nathaniel’s involvement.


    “They hurt you, sister.


    So I took care of business and killed most of them in revenge.


    I left two of them alive and locked them up.


    You can question them yourself when you’re feeling better.


    ”


    “Okay.


    ”


    Setting the soup down on the bedside table, Lucinda suddenly recalled being saved by someone in the water the night before.


    “Cyrus, did you jump into the water to save mest night?”


    Cyrus’ expression soured as he recounted the events.


    By the time he got there, Nathaniel had already gone in the water.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    When he saw Lucinda being carried ashore, he noticed that her dress was torn.


    He couldn’t help but wonder if the scumbag had done something inappropriate to her.


    “Yes, it was me.


    ” Cyrus felt a twinge of embarrassment and turned his face away.


    Lucinda’s face creased with confusion as she stared at him.
