The pain was intense for Nathan, especially considering Lucindaâs relentless strikes.
A slight shiver ran through Nathanâs frame.
He cast a pleading look back and murmured, âThat hurts.
Honey, were you trying to break my legs?â
Lucinda halted, giving him a silent, intense stare.
She didnât reply to his question.
However, her concern for Nathan was evident.
Seeing an opportunity, Nathan pleaded for mercy.
âHoney, my legs are quite essential.
Iâd better keep them and make up for my mistakes later.
â
Lucinda gazed intently at him.
âDidnât I warn you on our flight? If only youâd taken my words to heart, Colby and Destinee wouldnât be suffering now.
â
Nathan had no response.
Lucinda pressed on, âWhen our children are unwell and hurting, I feel every ounce of their pain.
Itâs clear you lack the empathy of a caring father.
â
With a pale complexion, Nathan explained, âIâm distressed too.
I feel for the babies, but I also share your
pain.
â
âItâs your actions that led us here.
Itâs only fitting that you experience some discomfort.
Perhaps itâll make you truly reflect on what youâve done,â Lucinda countered.
Again, Nathan was at a loss for words.
Well, Lucinda did have a valid reason to reprimand him.
âAlright, I accept the blame.
Maybe I deserve broken legs,â Nathan conceded.
He clung to his despair, anticipating the next wave of pain.
Lucinda tightened her grasp on the hanger but refrained from further striking Nathan.

She couldnât truly bring herself to break his legs.
If she injured Nathan to the point of bleeding, itâd be extreme.
Lucinda hesitated to release Nathan so readily, torn between the two choices, and clung to the clothes hanger, struggling to decide.
However, she had uttered such harsh words just moments agoâ¦
As she grappled with her inner turmoil, her phone suddenly rang.
A video call from Kyson flashed on the screen.
It concerned their children.
Without hesitation, Lucinda discarded the hanger, spun around, snatched her phone from the bed, and took the video call.
With a sigh of relief, Nathan gently massaged his injury and then trailed after Lucinda.
Kysonâs striking face filled the screen as the call connected.
The open collar of his pajamas unveiled his delicate collarbone.
