Lucinda, shifting her gaze, settled back on the sofa.

“Your wound has worsened, risking infection.

I’ll summon Hilliard for a thorough examination.

As Lucinda reached for her phone, Graham interjected, “It’s a minor injury, really.

Hilliard’s occupied with his girlfriend now, no need to trouble him.

I’ll manage with some anti-inflammatory pills.

Lucinda stated firmly, “Your wound hasn’t healed after a week.

There’s a risk of scarrin Let Hilliard examine it to avoid any lasting marks or complications.

Graham rejected the suggestion, asserting, “I’m not concerned about scars.

I’ll bear it as a constant reminder.

Lucinda’s voice turned cold as she remarked, “Are you trying to leave this scar as a reminder of your sacrifice for me? So I won’t forget your kindness and forgive you sooner?”

Violeta’s expression froze in response to Lucinda’s sharp words.

Unable to contain her discomfort, she swiftly excused herself, finding a pretext to retreat downstairs and prepare coffee for Lucinda.

Soon, only Lucinda and Graham remained in the room, the atmosphere heavy with unspoken tension.

Lucinda criticized, “Don’t think I’ll be swayed by your self-inflicted tricks.

It’s pointless for you to punish yourself like this, and it only aggravates me further.

As usual, Graham nodded obediently, though a faint smile graced his lips, clearly indicating his satisfaction.

Why was Lucinda upset that he didn’t apply the medicine properly?

Why was she scolding him for failing to take good care of himself?

Could this mean that she still cared about him?

Since childhood, Graham had dedicated himself to teaching and caring for Lucinda, his younger sister.

As her elder brother, he naturally held a significant place in Lucinda’s life, right?

When he was lost in thought, Lucinda’s voice cut through the silence, chilly and accusatory.

“Why do you remain silent? Am I correct? Are you too ashamed to admit it?”

Graham gently disagreed, saying, “I’m okay with having a scar.

It’s just a way for me to always remember that you’re my dear sister.

Whenever you need help, I’ll be there to keep you safe, even if it means putting myself in danger.

I just want to show you how much you mean to me.

His caring words stirred Lucinda’s heart.

However, she remained silent.

On that fateful day on the island, Graham had indeed risked his Life to protect her from harm.

Valerie’s shot was swift and decisive, catching Lucinda off guard.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Graham rushed to her defense, taking the bullet meant for Lucinda.

Over the past year, Graham had been harming himself as a form of penance for the wrongs he had committed against her.

Now, he had once again come to her rescue.

Would this suffice to atone for the suffering he had caused her?
