“Honey?” he called out in shock.


    Nearby, a fragile silhouette was perched on the floor, tearing a book apart in frustration, not too far from Nathan.


    This was the first instance Nathan had witnessed Lucinda in such a condition.


    He promptly approached her to see if she was okay.


    “What happened to you? Did work not go as nned, and you needed to let off steam? Share it with me, Lucinda,” Nathan inquired.


    He knelt on one knee, gently Lifting Lucinda’s face with his hands, only to find her eyes bloodshot and bearing a wild, unhinged expression.


    The two looked at each other.


    Lucinda’s lips twisted into an eerie grin, her eyes filled with a sinister darkness.


    Nathan was so preupied with worrying about whether Lucinda had hurt herself while venting her frustrations that he didn’t notice her hostility.


    “Let’s head to theboratory and take a checkup,” he suggested.


    While Nathan stooped down to pick up Lucinda, suddenly, a powerful p struck his face.


    p!


    Itnded on the left side of Nathan’s face.


    The impact turned his head to the side, leaving his cheek burning.


    It took Nathan a moment to process what happened.


    Lucinda delivered a p to him.


    Ever since Lucinda and Nathan patched things up, she had refrained from giving him a face p; instead, she asionally yfully pinched him.


    Nathan, bewildered, turned to face Lucinda again, noticing her eyes sparkled with an unsettling excitement.


    Before he could fully grasp the situation, Lucinda raised her hand for another strike.


    She delivered another forceful p, utilizing skills she had learned, aimed directly at Nathan’s face.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Nathan didn’t move away, and the impact was severe.


    His teeth cut into the soft inner lining of his mouth, causing blood to trickle from the corner of his mouth.


    The consecutive ps forced Nathan to reevaluate the person standing before him, Lucinda.


    Lucinda’s eyes burned with anger as she raised her hand again, seeking an outlet for her fury.


    “I’m sorry,” Nathan uttered.


    Finally reacting, he quickly grabbed Lucinda’s wrist and, with a sharp motion, delivered a chop to the back of her head.
