Lucinda shut her eyes, conveying her love through the ki*s.


    Her pretty face looked rxed and into the moment.


    Nathan gazed at her, his heart deeply moved by the gesture.


    Once the ki*s ended, she inquired, “Does it hurt?”


    He was about to say no when the memory of his previous response to the same question and its consequences flooded his mind.


    With a pitiful expression, he pouted, “It hurts…”


    Her eyes filled with satisfaction as she raised her voice and said, “Ah, looks like you’ve Learned your lesson.


    You should be grateful to me for that.


    ”


    After nting a few more ki*ses on his palm, she stood up, returned the ferule to the drawer, and brought out the pain relief ointment.


    As she gently applied it to his palm and knees, she blew on his wounds, providing relief from the pain.


    “If something bothers you, just tell me.


    If you find the pills too bitter, let me know, and we can find another solution.


    If only you had confided in me earlier, none of this would have happened.


    ”


    Nathan nodded.


    He looked satisfied and his gaze was filled with tenderness.

    He was d to have her around.


    Enveloped in the sweetness of the moment, his happiness was shattered by her next words.


    “In truth, I had intended to let you off this time.


    I brought you back to the room to tend to your injured knees.


    But I didn’t expect you to try deceiving me once again.


    By lying to me, you are simply asking to be punished.


    ”


    His body stiffened, and he stared nkly at his left hand’s palm.


    So she was implying that he could have escaped being punished?


    However, due to his deceitful act, she had decided to discipline him.


    He had never felt more despondent.


    The pain from the wound on his palm seemed to intensify.


    He curled up into her arms, looking sad.


    “Don’t go.


    Sleep by my side tonight, okay?”


    Lucinda was taken aback for a moment.


    She wiped off the ointment from her fingertips with a wet wipe and then gently caressed his handsome face.


    “No, but we can discuss it when you feel better.


    If you desire to sleep with me so much, then you must take your medication, exercise daily, and take good care of yourself to aid in your speedy recovery.


    ”


    “But…”


    Winter was fast approaching, and he had no idea if he would make it to the next spring.
