The sound of the door being unlocked woke Nathan up.
Lucinda remained asleep, so he tiptoed out of the room.
Kern was waiting outside the room, and upon seeing Nathan, he smiled and asked, âDid you have a good talk with Miss Simmons last night?
Did something happen between you two?â
His smile was ambiguous.
Nathanâs expression was cold as he didnât answer the question directly.
Instead, he said, âWhen Miss Simmons wakes up, make sure her have breakfast with Grandpa.
If she doesnât want to, donât force her.
â
âOkay,â Kern replied.
Nathan headed to the next room to freshen up before leaving.
Upon arriving at the villa gate, he heard a voice coming from the corner.
He listened attentively and recognized it to be Sonnyâs voice.
Leon seemed to be with him as well.
âLeon, what brings you here so early? Miss Simmons hasnât woken up yet.
You might have to wait a bit longer,â Sonny said.
âItâs no problem.
Did she have a drink here last night, though?â She indulged in drinking at the banquet and might get drunk.
Did she believe she could handle the drinks as she did before? It is unwise of her to drink so much.
â
Leon let out a heavy sigh.
Sonny looked puzzled and asked, âWhat happened to Miss Simmons?â
Leon hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself on second thought.

âI canât tell you that.
If she finds out later, Iâll be in big trouble.
â
Sonny replied, âItâs just the two of us here.
She wonât know.
Besides, you know I can keep a secret.
â
Nathan, who had been eavesdropping behind the wall, was about to leave.
But when he heard the conversation was about Lucinda, he stayed put.
Leon continued, âDo you remember Mr.
Robertsâs death six months ago?
Miss Simmons locked herself up in his room after his funeral.
She didnât eat for three whole days and was crying her eyes out.
She even drank all the alcohol stored in the villa.
On an empty stomach!
Her physical condition has deteriorated since she almost suffered from gastric perforation that time.
â
Sonny was taken aback upon hearing this news.
