Determined to uncover the truth, Lucinda quickly approached him while he was deep in thought, head bowed.


    With a swift move, she rolled up his sleeve, exposing a section of his muscr yet wounded arm.


    Upon spotting all the injuries on his arm, she was taken aback.


    The swollen marks had crisp and clear boundaries, dismissing the idea that they might be due to burns.


    Lucinda yelled, “Why are you in such a rough state? Who did this to you? Tell me!”


    Nathan sighed, unable to keep hiding it.


    “Lucinda, please.


    Try to stay calm.

    “How can I stay calm when you’re hurt like this? Tell me, who’s responsible for this?”


    He remained silent, offering no answer.

    If his right arm was in such a state, what about the rest of his body? How extensively was he injured?


    “Lucinda…” Nathan felt helpless.


    He had endured three sleepless nights in a row.


    Rising early each morning, he’d faced a series of beatings in the past few days.


    Last night, to endure the pain caused by the special ointment, he had drained every ounce of his strength.


    His face was now pale, his body weak.


    In contrast, Lucinda had received a drip infusionst night and enjoyed a night’s sleep.


    She was much stronger than him at the moment.


    With growing anxiety, she undid his tie and unbuttoned his shirt.


    The sight of his chest and abdomen was also marred with wounds.


    Her heart throbbed with pain, and each breath felt like a struggle.


    Gazing at the rming welts on his body, she suddenly felt a throbbing headacheing on.


    As she shut her eyes, the image of Nathan standing before her, taking a beating, flickered in her thoughts.


    What triggered these unsettling thoughts in her mind?


    The person who struck him… Was it her?


    Lucinda lifted her tear-filled eyes and gazed at him in astonishment.
