“Lucinda! Promise me! You’ve agreed to it before!”

Nathan urged, holding her hand so tightly that he didn’t realize he was causing her pain.

“I promise I won’t marry him, but… I’m sorry!”

Before Nathan could react, she struck him hard on the back of his neck using all her strength, which knocked him out.

She cradled him in her arms and gently stroked his forehead with her cheek.

Tears streamed from the corners of her eyes into her hair.

She whispered, “Go to sleep, Nate.

I’ll take care of everything.

Sonny rushed upstairs, and was taken aback by the scene unfolding in the corner of the wardrobe.

“Miss Simmons, what’s happening to him?”

Lucinda had no time for explanations.

“Come and carry him out.

Let’s go to the lab.

With no hesitation, Sonny squatted down and took the unconscious man from her arms.

Once they arrived at the lab, Aldric promptly examined Nathan.

A chilling atmosphere pervaded the room.

Frowning, Aldric sighed.

“His condition is bad.

The drug is losing its effectiveness, and it’s causing side effects that accelerate the spread of the virus in his body.

If we don’t administer another dose of the drug soon or find an antidote to completely cure him, he won’t last a month.

Sonny’s countenance changed.

“What! Not even a month?”

Amidst the heavy atmosphere, Lucinda appeared surprisingly calm.

Concealing her hands within her sleeves, where her nails dug into her flesh, she tried to maintain a composed tone.

“You two keep an eye on Nate.

I need to step out for something.

Leaving the lab, she got into her car and dialed Kyson’s number.

Kyson answered with enthusiasm, “Wow, I didn’t expect you to call so soon.

Let me guess, the drug isn’t working anymore, right?”
