Earlier, when Nathaniel realized Flynnâs attitude towards Eleanor was strange, he asked Flynn to investigate the matter, but also asked Jaxen to run a separate investigation.
He learned that Eleanor had gone to Pine Street that fateful day, but at a later time, after he had already been saved by the girl.
Eleanor had lied to him for more than ten years, claiming that she had saved him.
She took advantage of his sense of obligation and responsibility and caused him a lot of trouble.
He planned to get even with her, but Lucinda had sent her to prison, and so he would leave her to rot there.
If the girl who had saved him was really Lucinda, then he owed her everything.
Nathaniel had very mixed feelings.

Outside the bathroom door, the bodyguards, Abel and Conor, had been waiting for a long time and were growing impatient.
Conor put his ear against the door.
It was unusually quiet inside.
âAbel, I donât think anyone is in there.
Could Nathaniel have escaped?â
Abel checked his watch.
Fifteen minutes had passed.
He knocked on the door.
âMr.
Roberts, fifteen minutes has passed.
Havenât you finished?â
He knocked again.
Still no sound from inside.
Abelâs face changed.
He turned the doorknob and discovered it was locked.
âDamn it! Conor, kick the door open!â
Conor took two steps back and kicked the lock hard, breaking the doorknob.
The door swung open, revealing Nathaniel.
He looked very unhappy.
âHow dare you damage my door?â
Conor and Abel checked the bathroom and stared at him.
âIt belongs to Miss Ross now.
We will apologize to her.
But why didnât you answer when we knocked?â
âI prefer not to talk when Iâm dealing with physiological needs,â
Nathaniel said nonchalantly.
