As for the rest, they can slowly return their dues, considering their unique positions.

Nathan tenderly ki*sed Lucindaâs forehead, affirming, âYour wish is my command.
â
Because of the bandage around Lucindaâs head, taking a shower was not an option, so Nathan gently carried her to the dry area of the bathroom.
He then used a warm towel and carefully assisted Lucinda in cleansing her body step by step.
After that, they drifted into a restful sleep.
At midnight, Lucinda found it hard to sleep, feeling a throbbing pain at the back of her head.
But her eyelids felt exceedingly weighty, and she couldnât open them.
Lucinda clenched her fists, a knot of frustration twisting in her heart for reasons she couldnât quite fathom.
She longed to release her fury, thirsting for blood as a means to regain her composure.
âWhatâs troubling you, Lucinda?â Nathan inquired.
Cradling Lucinda as he slept Lightly, he noticed a sudden tension in her back.
Nathan switched on the bedside lamp and looked at Lucinda, asking, âWhatâs bothering you?â
Lucindaâs foggy mind started to sharpen, and she had the urge to talk, but her throat remained silent, and her body refused to budge.

It was an odd sensation.
Lucinda wrestled with her struggles for a while but soon grew weary and drifted into a deep slumber.
Nathan monitored Lucindaâs breathing, sensing her breaths slowly steadying.
Thinking that she might have just had a bad dream moments ago and now appeared to have calmed down, he let out a deep sigh of relief.
He took her in his arms and they spent the rest of the night in peace.
The following morning, Nathan and Lucinda rose, packed their bags, and were escorted by armed police vehicles straight to the airport.
This time, their journey to the airport was uneventful, and they boarded their flight home without incident.
Lucinda gazed out the airplane window at the overlapping mountains, feeling her heart regain its usual calm.
Upon waking up from her sleep, she couldnât recall the events of the previous nightâs first half.
Nathan clasped Lucindaâs hand, their fingers entwined, and he pressed a relieved ki*s to her cheek as he spoke.
âIâm grateful I came with you on this Aldoria business trip.
If you had faced such a terrible attack here alone, I might have gone crazy.
â
Lucinda turned and rested her head on Nathanâs shoulder, expressing her fatigue with a simple request, âHoney, Iâm a little worn out.
I want to sleep in your arms.
Wake me up later.
â
âSure, sleep without worries,â Nathan replied.
After a flight lasting over twenty hours, Lucinda and Nathan eventually landed at Cadieredâs Stastle airport.
Sonny and Luisa knew their return, so they arrived early to greet them.
