Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You
Chapter 2053

Lucinda nodded in acknowledgment, her tone serious as she added, “Don’t forget to take your anti-inflammatory medication.

If your gunshot wound doesn’t show improvement or worsens by the next time I visit, I’ll be angry and may have to discipline you as the head of the family.

Keep that in mind.

”

“Sure, I will take good care of myself.

By the time you visit next, the wound might even start to scab over,” Graham responded.

Lucinda nodded.

“I hope so.

”

With the medicine box in hand, Lucinda left the room and descended the stairs to find Violeta, to whom she handed the box.

Afterwards, she received a message from Nathan.

Nathan informed her that he had arrived and was waiting outside the villa.

After bidding farewell to Violeta, Lucinda exited the villa.

During their drive back to N&L Fairy Land, Lucinda seemed subdued, her thoughts weighing her down.

Nathan noticed her mood and gently took her hand.

“What’s on your mind, honey?”

”

Lucinda looked down, her expression serene yet attentive as she listened to Nathan.

Seeing her contemplative demeanor, Nathan continued, “Your reluctance to forgive him actually shows how much Graham means to you.

You Love him deeply, which is why finding out he inadvertently supported Valerie feels like such a betrayal.

Graham had spent over a year trying to atone for his past mistakes.

He was quieter these days, weighed down by guilt, and found it difficult to face you directly.

When he took that bullet for you on the island, it wasn’t just an act of protection-it was a definitive choice to stand by you over Valerie.

”

Nathan paused, considering his next words carefully.

“I know he felt indebted to Valerie’s mother for saving his life.

But he never expected Valerie to change so drastically…”

Before Nathan could finish, Lucinda withdrew her hand sharply.

Perplexed by her sudden coldness, Nathan tentatively asked, “Honey?
