Dejectedly, she sat on the edge of the bed.


    Her trembling fingertips revealed the turmoil within her.


    On the carpet were Nathan’s slippers.


    He had left without even wearing shoes.


    In the biting cold outside, where could he have gone? Why would he choose to hide himself?


    Anger simmered within Lucinda but she caught sight of the slightly ajar wardrobe door from the corner of her eye.


    Just as she was about to approach it, Sonny entered the room.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    “Miss Simmons, I’ve asked the staff.


    He’s not at thepany.


    He should still be in the vi.


    ”


    “Okay, keep searching here.


    Even if you have to tear the house apart, you must find him!”


    Sonny nodded.


    “Yes, Miss Simmons.


    ”


    Once he left, Lucinda tiptoed toward the wardrobe and gently opened …


    Nathan huddled in the corner, clenching his nightwear tightly in his hands.


    There he was!


    Relief washed over her as she saw his familiar handsome face.


    They had searched for him all morning, and yet, he had been hiding in the wardrobe.


    What was he doing there?


    Squatting down, Lucinda observed Nathan silently.


    It became apparent that he seemed unaware of her presence at all.


    His deep eyes held an empty, distant gaze, as if he was looking at something or perhaps nothing at all.


    A sense of unease gripped her again.


    She tentatively reached out her hand and waved it before his eyes.


    No reaction came from him.


    His eyes looked like a still, stagnant water.


    Lucinda covered her mouth as tears streamed down her cheeks.


    He… He couldn’t see?


    She fought back her tears and carefully extended her hand toward him.


    “Nate…”


    Hearing her voice and feeling her touch on his wrist, Nathan flinched and quickly raised his arm to shield his face, concealing his eyes from her gaze.
