The brutal assault persisted for almost an hour.


    Nathan noticed a gradual waning in the force of Lucinda’s strikes.


    Lifting his head, he saw the rage in her eyes subsiding, reced by fatigue.


    As she copsed backward, he swiftly caught her.


    Just Like the previous night, he adeptly returned her to the bed.


    During her manic episode, her strength had surged, and Nathan, gasping with pain, felt the aftermath of 218shes.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    The pain was overwhelming, as it coursed through every inch of his body.


    This made sitting unbearable.


    Leaning on the bed’s edge, he regted his breathing and took a long rest.


    The bedsidemp had been removed.


    He didn’t turn on the Light of the ceilingmp to avoid waking her with its intense light.


    In the darkness, Nathan took his pajamas from the bed.


    Without turning on any lights, he navigated toward the door by feeling the wall.


    He walked to the living room naked, brought out an ice bag from the fridge and ced it on his face to soothe him.


    And then he carefully examined his body.


    He saw an excess of wounds – bruises, redness, and swelling.


    They were all stark evidence of the abuse he endured.


    He stumbled and immediately steadied himself by grabbing the fridge.


    Both the role of an assant and that of the one who endured beatings demanded physical strength.


    Due tock of sleep, exhaustion and pain permeated every fiber of his being.


    Aldric had readied both infusion and medicine for Lucinda.


    Nathan needed to expedite his own treatment before escorting her to theb.


    With this in mind, he pushed himself to endure and swiftly applied the ointment Aldric provided to his wounds.


    The ointment, though highly effective, induced an intense sensation.


    It initially felt cool, but it transitioned to a burning pain, akin to scalding hot water.


    The difort surpassed the pain of the beating, testing his endurance.


    Nathan sweated profusely, felt lightheaded and was unable to stand still.


    Determined to expedite his recovery, he grabbed a towel, clenched it between his teeth, and persevered through the painful application of the ointment.


    Following the fresh wave of pain, Nathan sought relief by drinking a ss of water to alleviate the burning sensation enveloping his body.


    He quickly wore his pajamas and ascended the stairs to meet Lucinda.
