He was relieved he had put on his suit jacket; she hadnât noticed his bruises.
Had he been wearing pajamas, her keen eye would have caught on.
Twenty minutes passed, and Lucinda, now dressed in her everyday attire with light makeup, walked hand in hand with Nathan as they headed out.
He drove her to the Simmons Group.
Once she had completely vanished from his view, he adopted a solemn expression and firmly rolled up the window.
He retrieved his phone and dialed Aldric, recounting everything that transpired last night.
Aldric stayed composed upon hearing that.
He explained, âWhen she has a relapse, she loses control.
After she wakes up, she canât remember what she did, but that doesnât mean she stops thinking.
Breaking the table lamp is like a release for her.
Itâs her way of letting out steam at that moment.
â
Nathan got it.
He felt a tad disappointed, but at the same time, he counted himself fortunate.
Thankfully, Lucinda didnât have any intention of using her mental condition as an excuse to torment him intentionally.
He remained silent.
Aldric went on, âHead over to the lab.
You got roughed up last night.
Is it bad? Let me check on you.
Also, grab a couple of potent sedatives with you.
You never know, just as a precaution.
â
âOkay,â Nathan replied in agreement and promptly made his way to the lab.
Once there, he only removed his shirt for Aldric to examine his wounds.
Aldric sighed in relief.
âYouâre alright.
Just some surface wounds.
But getting beaten up like that must have hurt, right?â
Nathan glared at him with frustration and retorted, âFeel free to give it a shot.
Then youâll see if it hurts.
â
Aldric twitched his lips.
âNever mind.
Iâm not exactly in the best shape and a fragile doctor.
A few lashes, and Iâd probably faint.
My pain threshold is Lower than yours.
â
Nathan furrowed his brow and fixed a cold gaze on him.
Feeling the warning in Nathanâs demeanor, Aldric let out a chuckle and gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder.
âNo need to get me wrong.
Iâm complimenting you on your good health.
Youâve got impressive stamina and solid physical strengthâ¦â
âThatâs enough of your âcompliments!!â
Aldric quickly changed the subject and handed Nathan a special anti-inflammatory cream.
âThis will work better than the one you have at home, but brace yourself.
Itâs going to sting on those wounds.
â
Nathan accepted it.
To him, it was the medicine he needed most at the moment, as it could speed up his recovery from the injuries.
As Nathan prepared to leave the lab, Aldric gave one last piece of advice.
âNate, if she loses control again tonight, donât just stand there and take it.
Youâre still healing.
Getting hit again will be agonizing.
You might want to find a chance to use a tranquilizer on her.
â
Nathan nodded and left with determination.
