The intensity of Nathan’s ki*ses left Lucinda feeling dizzy, her senses intoxicated by the sweet, heady atmosphere enveloping them as if she were drunk on their love.


    With a gentle press against Nathan’s forehead, Lucinda pushed him away, her tone firm as she implored, “Stop it.


    I’m serious.


    ”


    Nathan understood the importance of ceasing his yful antics.


    He realized persisting would only irritate her, so he obediently relented, lying by her side.


    He told her, “You didn’t experience a rpsest night.


    I held you in my arms, and you didn’t stir at all.


    You slept soundly until dawn.


    ”


    Lucinda felt a wave of relief wash over her as Nathan confirmed that she had not experienced a rpse the night before.


    This was great news.


    She smiled.


    “Honey, do you think I’ve fully recovered from my manic episodes? Perhaps we should bring Colby and Destinee back from Grandpa’s ce.


    ”


    After some thought, Nathan said, “I’ll apany you to theb today for a test and a general check-up with Aldric.


    We need to make sure everything is alright.


    ”


    Lucinda nodded, agreeing to his n.


    They washed up and headed to theb.


    Aldric conducted the blood test on Lucinda.


    Half an hourter, the results were ready.


    Aldric announced, “The indices have improved, but they’re not entirely normal yet.


    Moving forward, it’s crucial that you regte your emotions and avoid excessive mental distress.


    Staying calm is important.


    ”


    Nathan’s hold on Lucinda’s hand tightened.


    He was thrilled, but years of leadership at the National Security Bureau had taught him the importance ofposure.


    He smiled at Lucinda, trying to suppress his excitement.


    Aldric added, “Given the current rate of recovery, we can stop the infusions.


    I’ll prescribe some calming medication to be taken alongside Lucinda’s other treatments.


    ”


    He looked at the physical data sheet, visibly relieved.


    “I didn’t expect the infusions would only be necessary for two months.


    Under Nathan’s care, you’ve recovered remarkably fast, Lucinda.


    This is truly fortunate news.


    ”


    Lucinda smiled.


    “Your expertise has been invaluable.


    Thank you, Aldric.


    ”


    Aldric dismissed thepliment with a wave of his hand.


    “The real credit belongs to Nathan.


    He’s been by your side through thete hours, always there during your treatment.


    Handling everything when you were unwell, he took it all in stride.


    I couldn’t have done that.


    ”


    Remembering times she hadshed out at Nathan, Lucinda felt a twinge of guilt.


    She looked down, silently concurring with Aldric’s praise.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    Seeing her expression shift, Nathanmented coolly, “You’ll understand someday.


    When you love someone as deeply as I love Lucinda, you’ll know what it means to truly care for another.


    Besides, Lucinda could never really hurt anyone.


    ”


    Aldric looked away, unconvinced by Nathan’s words.


    At that time, Nathan was away on business and had entrusted him with Lucinda’s care.


    He had even arranged for four robust bodyguards in theb to manage Lucinda, who was unpredictably aggressive.
