Her sharpness and keenness remained as strong as ever.


    Confronting Lucinda, who seemed on the brink of losing herposure, Nathan ced his hands reassuringly on her shoulders to steady her.


    He spoke gently.


    “The babies haven’t vanished or been in any ident.


    There’s no need to be frightened.


    ”


    “You know it? Did you hide the little ones?” Lucinda inquired.


    She stared at Nathan with wide-eyed disbelief, her breathing in short gasps.


    “Nathan, did you arrange for the babies to have their own private time so we could be truly alone? What on earth are you after?”


    Nathan continued to offerforting words, his hand gently stroking Lucinda’s back to ease her anxiety.


    He exined, “My grandfather wanted to see Colby and Destinee.


    He’s getting on in years, and his mobility isn’t what it used to be.


    The Payne family’s estate is extensive, and it’s quite a trek for my grandfather to go from his vi to N&L Fairy Land.


    So, I arranged for Colby and Destinee to spend a few days with my grandfather with Zenia to fulfill his deep desire to be with his great-grandchildren.


    ”


    “Don’t fret, Lucinda,” Nathan reassured her, “I’ve added extra security personnel to watch over my grandfather’s vi.


    Colby and Destinee will be safe and sound, so there’s no need to worry.


    ”


    As Nathanid out the specifics, Lucinda began to regain her calm.


    It was only natural for an elder to yearn for their great-grandchildren, Lucinda realized she couldn’t simply insist on bringing the children back, and besides, it wasn’t such an issue after all.


    Yet, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t quite right.


    She inquired, “Is it genuinely because Grandpa longs for Colby and Destinee that you arranged for them


    and Zenia to be with him?”


    Nathan reassured her with a ki*s on the forehead.


    “Yes, they will be back soon.


    Don’t worry.


    ”


    Since Nathan had exined the situation, Lucinda chose not to say anything further.


    “Well, let’s get back to cooking.


    I’m starting to feel hungry,” she suggested.


    The two of them got to work in the kitchen together, wrapping up the remaining dishes and setting them on the table.


    The candlelit dinner was delightful.


    After their meal, they cozied on the sofa, cuddling together as they enjoyed a movie.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Nathan discreetly kept an eye on Lucinda’s well-being throughout the evening.


    As he noticed no signs of illness, he silently let out a sigh of relief.


    As Aldric suggested, it was likely fatigue that triggered the onset.


    Moving forward, Nathan promised himself to look after Lucinda and ensure she didn’t overexert herself.


    This way, he hoped to decrease the frequency of her episodes.


    In the middle of the movie, Lucinda drifted to sleep, leaning gently against Nathan’s shoulder.


    Nathan had pulled an all-nighter and risen early that morning.


    After taking care of everything, he found himself weary too.


    He turned off the TV and gently carried Lucinda to bed.


    He tenderly cleaned her face, washed her feet, and changed her into pajamas.


    Recently, Lucinda had been sleeping soundly, not stirring even as he attended to her.
