However, sleep eluded him.
Peering out the window into the darkness, he couldnât shake the image of Lucindaâs flustered look before she left.
He couldnât make himself fall asleep, so he fixed his gaze on the view outside the window.
Two hours had passed, yet Lucinda hadnât returned.
Anxiety gnawed at Nathan, leaving him with an empty feeling in his heart.
He sat up, intending to call her and ensure her safety, but just then, his phone rang.
It was Larry.
Given the late hour, Nathan sensed it must be something important for Larry to contact him at this time.
Immediately he answered, Larry said hurriedly, âSir, Iâm sorry.
Itâs my fault.
Iâve just received news from the prison!â
Frowning, Nathan inquired, âWhat happened?â
âKyson was bailed out yesterday!â Larry revealed.
Nathanâs expression turned cold in an instant, his eyes reflecting a glint of murderous intent.
âWho bailed him out?â
âIt was⦠Mr.
Graham Simmons!â
Graham?!
Nathanâs hands trembled.
The phone slipped from his grip and dropped on the bed.
âs BunnyBookery
He struggled to catch his breath as the news tore through his heart.
On the other end of the line, Larry grew anxious at Nathanâs prolonged sile
nce.
âSir, please try to stay calm! You canât allow yourself to become overwhelmed or too saddened.
Otherwise, you might have another relapse⦠There was probably a mix up!â
Nathan remained silent.
Larry went on, âMiss Simmons is aware of how much you loathe Kyson.
She possibly did this for a reason.
Sir, youâ¦â
Nathan could no longer take Larryâs bubbling and ultimately decided to end the call.
Suddenly, a realization struck him.
Lucinda had been behaving strange lately, though he hadnât given it much thought.
Earlier, he had overheard a manâs voice on her phone.
Doubts flooded his mind, prompting him to tell Sonny to investigate Lucindaâs recent whereabouts.
About thirty minutes later, Nathan examined the information Sonny had sent to his phone.
She had personally picked up Kyson when he was released yesterday.
