Themotion in the room was quite loud, and the small transparent ss window on the door allowed anyone outside to see vaguely into the room.


    However, despite the noise, the two policemen assigned by Nathan didn’t enter the room.


    Something must have happened to them.


    The woman chuckled.


    “Catching me is pointless.


    I don’t know anything.


    I just followed orders after getting paid.


    The policemen outside have been sent away.


    They won’t be back for at least half an hour.


    And in five minutes, a group wille to take the child.


    Even if you call for help, your man might not arrive in time, right?”


    Lucinda looked at Colby, now crying in the crib.


    Fury built within her.


    She seized the woman’s hair and inquired, “Why are you taking the baby? He’s so young.


    Who could he possibly have offended?”


    The woman winced from the pain in her scalp.


    She took a deep breath and replied through gritted teeth, “I don’t know.


    Like I said, catching me won’t help.


    I’m just following orders.


    If such a young child has offended someone, it’s likely because of the adults!”


    Lucinda’s expression was icy.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    She maintained her grip on the woman without relenting.


    The person orchestrating this knew Colby’s ward number and the specifics of his illness, indicating meticulous preparation.


    Was this vendetta against her or Nathan?


    Without any hesitation, Lucinda proposed, “How much did your boss pay you? I’ll triple that amount.


    ”


    The woman in the nurse uniform was taken aback and replied with reluctance, “This isn’t a matter of money.


    It’s about honor among criminals.


    If I betray my employer, who will trust me in the future?”


    Lucinda scoffed, “My partner leads the National Security Bureau.


    Do you think you’ll avoid jail if I turn you in? Will you even have a future in the criminal world?”


    The woman stubbornly replied, “I can’t work for you.


    I’m not that kind of person.


    No amount of money will change my mind.


    ”


    “I’ll offer ten times what your boss is paying you.


    ”


    The woman was momentarily speechless.


    After a brief pause, she found herself in a quandary.


    “I don’t know who you are or why your family has such wealth, but this situation…”

    Lucinda cut her off, increasing her offer.


    “Twenty times.


    ”


    “Deal!”


    The woman’s hostile demeanor softened, and she smiled warmly.


    “As long as you keep your promise, I’ll do whatever you ask!”


    Lucinda did not reply and released the woman.


    Then, Lucinda calmly soothed the crying Colby, while thoughtfully andposedly pondering the entire situation.


    The woman massaged her sore wrist, a reminder of Lucinda’s grip, and began to fret about her newmitment.


    “Boss, two minutes have gone by.


    In three minutes, a group will enter the ward.


    They’ve brought anesthesia guns and stun guns.


    We can’t outfight them unarmed.


    You’re offering a high reward, but I’m not sure I can protect you.


    ”


    Lucinda’s eyes remained cool as she quickly devised a strategy.


    “You don’t have to reveal that you’ve switched sides.


    Just follow their instructions.


    ”


    “What?” The woman appeared puzzled.


    She nced at the small child in Lucinda’s arms, incredulous.


    Lucinda cared about her son so much.


    How could she allow him to be taken and used as leverage by the intruders?
