After they had sat down, Kyson asked, “Lucinda, why did you suddenly invite me to dinner? Have you thought about my proposal?”


    “Kyson, to be honest, I didn’t sleep wellst night.


    When I realized you were leaving Forden, I felt bereft.


    ” Lucinda frowned and put her hand over her heart.


    Her voice was soft and sweet.


    Kyson’s throat trembled as he swallowed.


    “I know you have always had feelings for me.


    Don’t worry, the matter is almost settled back at the Secret Investigation Department.


    I should be able to stay in Forden longer.


    ”


    Knowing that he wouldn’t leave for the time being made Lucinda happy.


    “That’s great.


    Sally is in Forden too.


    You can have a lot of fun before you have to leave.


    ”


    Kyson smiled.


    “She may need to y by herself.


    I want us to be alone.


    ”


    Lucinda smiled but said nothing.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Kyson thought of something and said, “I heard that you visited Nathaniel in hospital today.


    How is he?”


    “Nathaniel?” Lucinda’s smile froze.


    “He acted like a spoiled child, wanting me to reward him just because he saved mest night.


    I’ve grown tired of him.


    In truth, he annoys me now.

    Kyson was delighted.


    “Since you are tired of him, it might be time to abandon him.


    I can keep youpany.


    ”


    She smiled happily.


    “Of course.


    I would love that, but he did get hurt because of me.


    I can’t just abandon him just right after that.


    If people found out, they would say that I’m heartless and ungrateful.


    ”


    Kyson asked, “Then how do you want to deal with him?”


    “When he is discharged from hospital, I’ll let him stay in the vi, at least for the time being.


    But I won’t allow him free movement in case he causes trouble.


    When the time is right, I will give him his freedom.


    ”


    Kyson’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn’t argue.


    Lucinda changed the topic.


    “Hey, you know what? I discovered something rather frightening today.


    ”


    “What is it?”


    “I went to interrogate Carmelo; the man who threw sulfuric acidst night, but he died ten minutes before I arrived.


    The person who killed Carmelo provoked me openly in front of the security camera.


    If he is that brazen, I fear he wille to kill me.
