Chapter 1613: Chapter 1827

“Nathan, do you recall the time I bit you until you bled?”

“Yes, I remember.

” Nathan sensed the gravity in her voice.

He turned to her and inquired, “What’s wrong?”

Her expression turned serious.

“I find it hard to manage my emotions.

”

In truth, she hadn’t intended to be so harsh with him tonight, but in that moment, it seemed she couldn’t control herself and simply needed to release her anger.

Why was this happening?

Could she be… unwell as well?

Nathan expressed his worry.

“Are you unwell? How about a complete check-up at the hospital tomorrow?”

Lucinda declined, “No way.

Remember when I bit you, and we visited Aldric? He said I was perfectly fine.

I just had some mood swings due to sleepless nights during my pregnancy and some stress.

I doubt another check-up would show anything different.

Maybe I’m just overthinking.

”

Nathan’s concern for Lucinda remained.

He advised, “Maybe it’s worth a second look.

Even if it seems Like a tiny issue now, it could sneakily grow into a bigger concern later.

”

“There’s no point.

Aldric is one of the best in Cadiered.

If even he can’t pinpoint an issue, I doubt any other doctor can.

Why bother?”

Lucinda countered.

Gently, she touched the bruise on Nathan’s buttock, suggesting, “I can ask the hotel staff to fetch some anti-inflammatory cream for you.

I’ll apply it on you.

”

Nathan shook his head, cautioning, “Hold off on that idea.

This place is Ellsworth’s territory.

If you ask the waiter for some anti-inflammatory cream, word will get back to Ellsworth.

By then he’ll get the wind that I’ve taken a beating.

”

Lucinda nodded in agreement.

“How about you cozy up in bed while I step out and buy it?” she offered.

As Lucinda tried to leave the bed, Nathan grabbed her waist, keeping her right where she was.

“Look, I’ve been in the military.

I’m not fragile.

I’ll be alright in a couple of days.

If you want to help, skip the flight tomorrow and come with me to Aldoria’s main shopping area, alright?”

Lucinda stayed silent.

Nathan persisted, saying, “Let’s do some shopping tomorrow, then get our plane tickets and head back to Cadiered the day after tomorrow.

If you’re concerned about our little ones, we can video chat with Kyson before bedtime and check in on our babies regularly.

”

As Nathan wrapped his arms around Lucinda’s waist, she tilted her head, peered at him, and playfully questioned, “You are not jealous of Kyson now, huh? Remember when I had that video call with him, you got quite upset?”

Nathan hugged Lucinda tightly as if he never wanted to let her go.
