Lucinda paused, considering, and then added a condition, “You must commit to not getting injured again.

Even if I’m on the verge of harming you, you must defend yourself.

If I come to and discover fresh wounds on you, there will be consequences.

Nathan leaned in unexpectedly, getting close to Lucinda’s face, and lightly teased her by touching her nose.

He asked in a casual tone, “And how do you plan to make sure I don’t get off easy? With the condition I’m in now, are you still up for giving me a beating?”

Lucinda was at a loss for words.

She didn’t want to harm Nathan.

Given the opportunity, Lucinda would have made love to Nathan for three days and nights.

Even if she passed out during that time, she wouldn’t mind as long as she could ease the pain Nathan had endured in the past few days.

Even if it meant ending up in the ICU due to exhaustion, she would consider it worthwhile.

Nathan seemed to understand Lucinda’s feelings.

Maintaining her serious demeanor, she said, “I can’t bear to see you hurt.

If you don’t listen to me, I’ll show you how tough I can be.

You won’t get off Lightly.

“Alright, honey.

” Nathan didn’t object; as long as the topic of divorce wasn’t on the table, he was willing to go along with anything.

“Now, lie down and let me take care of those wounds,” Lucinda said.

Nathan complied and stretched out while Lucinda carefully applied the ointment with her hand to the wounds on his back, legs, and buttocks.

She continued to work on Nathan’s tender torso and legs, which were marked with redness and swelling.

While Lucinda tended to Nathan’s wounds with the medicine, she pondered potential remedies.

She couldn’t manage her illness episodes, and she knew Nathan well.

If it occurred once more, Nathan would likely still let her use his body as an outlet to release her pent-up emotions.

However, this circumstance must never happen again.

She couldn’t bear to witness Nathan enduring such pain once more.

With these thoughts in her head, Lucinda silently administered the medicine to Nathan.

She had been disheartened ever since the incident came to Light, causing an air of discord between her and Nathan that was unlike their usual harmony.

Lucinda numbly switched into her work attire.

Nathan, as he always did, approached and took her hand to give her a ride to work.

“No need for that.

” Lucinda let go of his hand.

“I’m completely in my right mind at the moment.

When I’m done with work, I’ll make sure to be back half an hour earlier.

You can count on it.

Nathan pressed his lips together, maintaining silence, but the concern in his eyes was impossible to conceal.

Lucinda picked up on it, her delicate fingers tracing Nathan’s handsome features.

She then rose on her tiptoes and planted a brief ki*s on Nathan’s lips.

“Darling, don’t fret.

I care about you.

I can imagine how uncomfortable it must be to sit in the car with those wounds on your butt.

Why don’t you take a break at home today and catch up on some sleep, alright?” Lucinda suggested.

Nathan agreed to her suggestion.

Indeed, after days of barely sleeping, he truly needed a thorough rest to revitalize himself.

Lucinda permitted Nathan to join her at the Payne family’s garage.

He observed as Lucinda drove the luxury car away until it disappeared from view.

Afterward, he wearily made his way back to the N&L Fairy Land.
