Chapter 1651: Chapter 1865

As she received the IV drip, Nathan applied a cold compress to his face, remaining by her side.

Aldric continued treating her until the clock struck midnight.

Nathan drove back to N&L Fairy Land, cradling the unconscious Lucinda in his arms.

After a lengthy night, he at last enjoyed a much-needed rest.

He was so exhausted that he drifted off to sleep while holding her in his arms.

Lucinda didn’t open her eyes until the afternoon of the next day.

Her assistant’s phone call made her awake.

She informed Lucinda, “Miss Simmons, the project director from DoWeier Group is coming to sign the contract this afternoon.

It’s almost one in the afternoon.

Are you coming into the office?”

Almost one in the afternoon?

Recalling the contract, Lucinda slowly became more alert.

“Alright, I understand.

I’ll be there shortly.

”

After ending the call, she attempted to get out of bed, only to be hit by a severe headache, particularly at the back of her head.

The pain left her feeling weak and dizzy.

She tried to sit up but ended up collapsing back down.

However, she didn’t collide with the headboard; she landed against a broad chest.

Lucinda didn’t have to open her eyes to identify the person behind her.

“Honey, did you turn off my alarm clock? Otherwise, how could I sleep until one in the afternoon?”

Nathan sighed, “You’ve been under a lot of stress lately.

I wanted you to rest well.

If your headache persists, rest at home.

I can reschedule the contract signing.

”

“No, that contract has been delayed too much already because of past incidents.

There are no more postponements.

I feel better now.

I should get it done as soon as possible.

”

Nathan cradled her in his arms with no intention of releasing her.

“But, Lucinda, you’ve got a headache.

”

She opened her eyes, suggesting, “Maybe it’s just jet lag.

Can you get me some ibuprofen? That should help.

”

“Relying too much on ibuprofen isn’t good.

Let me give you a head massage instead to ease the pain.

”

He gently massaged her temples and scalp with his skilled fingers, relieving the tension caused by the headache.

Lucinda didn’t resist.

She savored his touch and remarked, “It’s odd.

The injury at the back of my head was nearly healed, but it’s hurting again today as I wake up.

”

Nathan hesitated and cast his gaze downward, his conscience burdened.

“Perhaps… You had a restless night’s sleep.

Allow me to soothe your worn nerves.
