He felt grateful for his wifes constant care and attention.
He picked up the breakfast tray from the bedside table and set it on his lap.
After wiping his hands with a wet tissue, he skillfully began to peel the egg.
Lucinda sat by the bedside, quietly watching him eat.
He popped the entire boiled egg into his mouth in one swift motion.
Lucinda witnessed this, and she frowned slightly.
Why didnt she notice how big his mouth was when he kissed her? Even though Nathan devoured the egg in one bite, he chewed it slowly and meticulously.
After peeling the egg, he meticulously wiped his fingers again with a wet tissue, displaying his strong penchant for cleanliness.
His every movement was elegant, with his Adams apple gently bobbing as he swallowed.
Taking a sip of milk, he revealed a perfect jawline along the side of his neck, accentuating his undeniable attractiveness. Despite it being just a simple egg and milk, Nathan savored it as though it were a gourmet French meal, relishing every bite as if it were exceptionally delicious.
..
Library Lucinda unconsciously swallowed as well, watching Nathan eat with a mix of amusement and affection.
Nathan noticed, a mischievous smile spreading across his face.
Why do you have such a peculiar look in your eyes? What do you mean? Lucinda asked, her curiosity piqued.
It seems like you want to devour me, Nathan teased playfully.
Id sooner kill you than eat you.
Lucinda pondered quietly.
As Lucinda remained speechless, Nathan had already begun peeling the second egg.
His slender fingertips were remarkably attractive, the faint blue veins on the back of his hand subtly visible, extending into his sleeve, hinting at his youthful vigor and charm.
As Lucinda observed Nathans actions, her gaze froze when she saw him swallow the entire egg once more.
Isnt that a bit difficult to swallow? Nathan stopped chewing, his earlobes turning strangely red.
He avoided Lucindas gaze momentarily, swallowed the egg, took two more sips of milk, and then asked, Do you find my eating habits unappealing? Before Lucinda could respond, Nathan quickly added with a mischievous grin, Manners arent everything when it comes to eating.
Compared to eating eggs, Im much better at eating you up.
Lucinda didnt bother responding to him but instead asked earnestly, About Hilda, how is she? Did she speak the truth? Nathan nodded solemnly and explained, She has a tough life.
Her husband was abusive and struggled with alcoholism.
Whenever he drank, he became violent and beat her.
She hoped having a child might change him, but instead, things got worse.
He started abusing their son as well.
Ten years ago, during a violent altercation where her husband beat her until blood streamed from her head, her son intervened, striking her husband with a stool in an attempt to stop the fight.
Tragically, her husband accidentally killed their eight- year-old boy in the struggle. The boy was laid to rest atop the nearby mountain.
Subsequently, her husband left home, falling in love with another woman and never returning.
Strangely, Hilda found a sense of relief in his absence.
Hidden under her bed were ten gold bars, carefully preserved for years.
She recounted an incident from three years prior when she had saved a mans life, and in appreciation, he gifted her the gold bars.
A few days ago, as she ventured out of the village in search of medicine to aid in saving you, she encountered a group of individuals seeking your whereabouts through media photographs.
Among them stood the very man she had rescued years ago.
She divulged your whereabouts to that man, and in return, she received another bag of gold bars.
This information was crucial.
Lucindas expression turned serious as she drifted into deep contemplation.
