Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 1852

She replied, “We need to dig up something concrete ourselves, anything to confirm our suspicions.

I plan to pay back in kind.

Now that they want to play dirty, I’ll join the game and see what this Zephyria noble has.

”

Nathan brushed Lucinda’s cheek tenderly, his Lips meeting hers softly, cherishing her like the most precious jewel.

He said affectionately, “Feel free to call the shots.

I’m your devoted soldier, ready to go the extra mile for you.

”

Lucinda let out a soft laugh.

“I don’t need a soldier.

”

“Then what do you desire?” Nathan asked.

Lucinda signaled to him with her finger, and Nathan promptly leaned in to hear.

She whispered, “I’d rather have you as my special pony, my only ride.

”

Lucinda’s frail voice heightened her vulnerability, intensifying Nathan’s urge to protect and stand up for her.

It was just a playful, flirtatious remark.

Nathan’s throat felt dry with anticipation, his excitement building.

In that instant, Lucinda also felt excitement, and her little finger began tracing the shape of Nathan’s earlobe.

This electrifying feeling sent Nathan’s heart racing.

He clasped Lucinda’s delicate wrist, ki*sed her hand, and whispered, “Lucinda, please don’t tease.

You

know I have no willpower when it comes to you.

If you keep going, I might lose control.

”

With a slight frown marking his displeasure at the predicament, Nathan peered deeply into Lucinda’s eyes and whispered, “You’ve been injured, and you need to heal from a head injury.

No matter my desire, I can’t be close to you now.

So please, Lucinda, don’t make this harder for me.

”

Lucinda didn’t intend to torment him, just wanted to spend some time with Nathan as she woke up from a coma.

“Honey, my stomach’s growling.

” Lucinda voiced her hunger.

Nathan reached for his phone, preparing to call the hospital’s cafeteria for a meal.

“Lucinda, what would you like to eat?”

“Anything.

I’m just hungry, yet I have no appetite.

Something light will do,” Lucinda said.

“Understood.

”

Nathan, with his knack for ideas, took Lucinda’s words to heart and came up with a selection of dishes he knew she’d enjoy.

Meanwhile, in stark contrast to the hospital room where false alarms had subsided, the environment at the police station was thick with urgency and tension.

The best and most skilled police officers were brought in to investigate the incident involving Nathan and Lucinda’s attack.

But after a full day, there wasn’t any forward movement in the case.

Ellsworth had set a deadline.

They had just three days left to uncover the mastermind behind it all.
