Meanwhile, Nathan sat quietly nearby, attending to his tablet and managing his business.


    After the examination, following Nathan’s prearranged instructions, the doctor delivered the results.


    “Mr.


    Payne, her condition is still unstable.


    Her blood sugar Levels are very high, which could lead to nausea, vomiting, or even fainting if it worsens.


    We rmend keeping her under observation for another day.


    If tomorrow’s check-up shows no issues, she can be discharged tomorrow afternoon.”


    While writing down the diagnosis, the doctor asionally nced at the woman, who was eating and drinking.


    She indulged in numerous desserts for breakfast, exining her elevated blood glucose levels.


    Nathan closed his tablet and spoke to the woman calmly.


    “You heard the doctor.


    Get some rest.


    Perhaps you can leave the hospital tomorrow.”


    Beneath his long eyshes, his eyes concealed a deep, menacing intensity.


    She had better make the most of thesest two days of freedom.


    Once she left the hospital, Nathan would show her what a true nightmare was.


    After enduring two days of utter boredom in the hospital, the woman increasingly doubted the authenticity of the rumors.


    ording to gossip, Nathan and Lucinda were the golden couple of Stastle’s elite society since they were deeply in love with each other.


    In reality, it appeared to be nothing more than a facade.


    Though she had Lucinda’s delicate, beautiful face, Nathan appeared to have no romantic interest in her.


    Whenever he visited the hospital, their conversations were nothing more than small talk.


    Meanwhile, he had his men bring her delicious food and drinks every day.


    His manner was gentle, his voice soft-spoken yet carrying a subtle detachment.


    Their rtionship seemed devoid of any intimacy whatsoever.


    After she spent a few days in the hospital ward, Nathan still hadn’t bought her a new mobile phone.


    Instead, he assigned people to guard her, ensuring she couldn’t go anywhere.


    She had no way to receive any instructions or messages from her boss.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Sighing, she propped her chin on her hands at the small table by her bed.


    A tiny mirror in front of her reflected her face as she examined it, lost in thought.


    Her expression grew increasingly serious as she recalled her mission and the instructions from her boss.


    “What are you thinking about?”


    A deep yet gentle male voice broke the silence beside the bed, startling her.


    She turned her head and, as expected, saw Nathan’s incredibly handsome face.


    She quickly regained herposure.


    “Honey, how could you walk without making a sound?”


    Nathan gazed at her intently as if trying to see someone else through her eyes.


    He stood there, lost in thought for what felt like ages.


    It wasn’t until the woman gave him a puzzled look that he snapped back to reality and said indifferently, “Lucinda, you were so deep in thought that you didn’t even notice meing in.”


    The woman shed a sweet smile, her eyes crinkling at the corners as she looked at him.


    “Well, I was just thinking about you, and then you magically appeared.”


    Nathan sat calmly beside her hospital bed, his expression neutral.
