âSir, why donât you find an excuse to go to the lab for a test tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? I have noticed that you have been vomiting blood more frequently lately,â he suggested.
Nathan declined, âNo need.
I am aware of my health condition.
It shouldnât be a major issue for the time being.
Did you bring the inhibitor?â
Sonny retrieved an syringe and administered it to Nathan.
Despite the pain of being pricked on the neck vein, Nathanâs eyes narrowed slightly as if he was accustomed to receiving drug injections to maintain his health.
The memory of Grahamâs recent slap was still fresh in Sonnyâs mind, and he felt a wave of displeasure.
âSir, please donât push yourself too hard.
If the doctor hadnât given you the injection of inhibitor in advance, you would have passed out right then and there!â he reminded Nathan.
Sonny knew that if Nathan had fainted, his health condition would have been exposed to Lucinda.
Nathan remained silent and lowered his head.
Sensing the tension in the air, Sonny let out a sigh and discreetly pocketed the syringe.
As soon as Sonny got up, a crisp and enchanting voice suddenly rang out from outside.
âWhat are you talking about? What inhibitor?â Lucindaâs voice sounded.
Leaning against the door, Lucindaâs gaze swept over Nathan, who was lying on the bed, and then rested on Sonny, who was standing stiffly.
Sonny didnât turn around to face Lucinda immediately.
With his back to Lucinda, Sonny exchanged a glance with Nathan.
Lucinda didnât know what had happened.
She had just ended a phone call before heading upstairs, catching bits of their conversation but nothing clear except for a peculiar keyword.
âWhatâs going on?â she asked when neither of them spoke.

Seeing their silence, she shifted her gaze back and forth between them.
Sonny finally turned around, noting her blank expression.
He assumed she hadnât caught much of their discussion and smiled as he explained, âItâs a drug from the lab.
We were talking about confidential National Security Bureau missions.
Not something we can disclose to you.
â
âOh, really?â Lucindaâs head tilted as she looked at Nathan.
He nodded in agreement, looking completely composed.
âDo you want to know more? If you want to know, I could tell you.
â
âSince itâs confidential, forget it.
Donât tell me.
Iâm not interested anyway,â she said after thinking for a while.
A sigh of relief was breathed by both men.
âIâll Leave you two alone then.
