She massaged his chest gently in an attempt to alleviate his torment.
Shortly after, Sonny returned with the medication.
Nathan took a pill, but his condition didnât improve significantly.
Relief would take time to set in.
His once handsome face appeared gaunt and pallid.
Feebly nestled in Lucindaâs embrace, he held on, awaiting the onset of the pillâs effects.
Witnessing this, Lucinda felt as if her heart had been pierced, causing a deep ache within her very core.
It was the first time Sonny saw him go through this.
Lucinda was consumed by regret that she couldnât bear the pain for him.
Unable to bear it any longer, Lucinda rolled up her sleeve and offered her delicate, smooth arm to Nathan.
âNathan, donât suffer alone.
Bite me! Let me share your pain.
â
Nathan pursed his lips and firmly refused.
He just held her sweating palm and intertwined his fingers with hers.
Sonny squatted down, rolled up his sleeve and extended his arm to Nathan.
âBite me.
My skin is rough, unlike Miss Simmons.
Iâm not afraid of the pain.
â
Nathan buried his face in Lucindaâs arms, refusing to bite Sonnyâs arm.
Seeing him so adamant, Lucinda sighed.
When would his suffering finally come to an end if this continued?
She tried to calm herself and looked at Sonny with a composed expression.
âWaiting for the pill to take effect seems to take forever.
Can he take an injection to help with the pain?â
Sonny appeared troubled.
âIâve never seen him suffer from an angina attack before, so I have no idea.
â
Since Sonny had no answers, Lucinda made the decision on her own.
âCome, letâs carry him.
Weâre going to the lab right now.
â
Fifteen minutes later, in the lab, Nathan had been injected.
His breathing had gradually stabilized, and exhaustion overcame him that he drifted into sleep.
Lucinda stood by his bedside, gently brushing her fingertips against his tightly knitted eyebrows.
Aldric entered the room and handed her a collection of data files from his previous tests.
âMake sure to prioritize his emotional well-being.
Donât let his emotions go through drastic fluctuations.
Each time the angina attacks, he expends an enormous amount of energy to endure the pain.
And when heâs weakened, it accelerates the spread of the virus.
