Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 1879

His arms, already wounded, ached anew as he carried her downstairs.

Enduring it, Nathan descended with the sleeping Lucinda cradled in his arms.

Thirty minutes later, they reached the lab, where Aldric had promptly returned upon Nathan’s call.

Placing Lucinda on a drip, Aldric turned to Nathan and remarked, “You appear exhausted.

Rest in the next room.

The infusion will take at least 2.

5 hours.

I’ll take care of her for you.

”

Nathan, holding onto Lucinda’s hand, hesitated to release her or take a seat.

“No, thanks.

I already feel guilty for waking you up and asking you to come here.

How can I ask you to care for my wife on top of that? Go get some sleep.

I’ll call you when the infusion treatment is finished.

”

Watching Nathan’s evident fatigue but persistent desire to be with Lucinda, Aldric couldn’t help but recall the night she delivered medicine for him.

He sighed, “You both share such deep affection.

If only you could enjoy a peaceful existence without enduring numerous challenges.

”

Grasping Lucinda’s hand, Nathan affirmed, “We will.

These hardships will fade away.

Lucinda, our children, and I will have a joyful life together.

”

“Allow me to keep you company.

Sleep eludes me anyway,” Aldric suggested, settling into a chair.

He attentively noticed the red, inflamed wounds on Nathan’s wrists and approached to inspect them.

“Nathan, your injuries are severe.

The wounds on your wrists are quite conspicuous.

”

Nathan glanced at his wrists casually.

“No worries.

It’s just a minor issue.

I can manage.

”

Sighing again, Aldric considered patting Nathan on the back for comfort.

However, the thought of the wounds covering Nathan’s body made him pause.

His hand was suspended in midair, and after contemplating, he chose to retract it.

He urged, “Nathan, you can’t reach the wound on your back, can you?

Sit down and let me assist you in applying medication.

”

Nathan shook his head, declining, “I’ve already used a swelling-reducing spray on my back before coming here.

It won’t impact my daily life.

I don’t need your ointment.

”

Seeing Nathan’s determination, Aldric refrained from further persuasion.

Instead, he quietly attended to Lucinda alongside him.

The two men stayed in the ward for over an hour.

Nathan’s stability wavered, prompting him to lean on the bed and close his eyes momentarily.

Aldric, concerned, advised, “Nathan, if she has a relapse tomorrow, consider using a tranquilizer on her.

Don’t let yourself be a punching bag again.

Look at your injuries.

If you’re attacked again, I doubt you can endure it.

”

Nathan remained silent, focusing on regulating his disrupted breath due to pain.

Aldric, standing beside him, attempted to assist and suggested, “How about this? Tomorrow night, wear protective clothing to minimize the harm she can inflict on you.

”

Nathan responded noncommittally, “Let’s discuss it tomorrow night.

Tonight, I just want to watch over her.

”
