Aldric leaned wearily against the door, watching the bodyguards wincing in pain.
Before long, they bore the marks of a thorough beating, black and blue.
Undeterred by Lucindaâs relentless onslaught, the dedicated bodyguards refused to surrender.
The ther@peutic room echoed with cries as the confrontation escalated from a physical struggle to Lucindaâs one-sided outburst.
After two grueling hours, Lucinda, exhausted, succumbed to sleep again.
Aldric felt a pang of fear gripping him.
The bodyguards, their bodies adorned with wounds, ached to weep but found no tears to shed.

âDr.
Yusuf, is this considered a work injury?â
âMrs.
Payne is truly formidable.
Dr.
Yusuf, take a look at me; my face bears the brunt of her fury!â
âAbsolutely dreadful! What a dreadful woman!â
The bodyguards whimpered, lamenting their discomfort.
Aldric clicked his tongue disapprovingly.
Deep within, he marveled at Nathanâs incredible skill, deftly navigating a two-hour battle with the enraged Lucinda without sustaining any injuries.
His admiration for Nathan deepened even further.
âDonât worry.
This falls under work-related injuries.
Moreover, Mr.
Payne assured us he would cover all medical expenses and triple the co
mpensation.
Itâs well worth it,â reassured Aldric.
Comforted by Aldricâs assurances, the bodyguards felt a sense of relief.
They were escorted away by Aldricâs men for medical attention.
Meanwhile, Aldric busied himself preparing the medical kit for infusion.
He stood guard, ensuring Lucinda received the necessary transfusion.
Seated at the head of the bed, Aldric gazed at her serene sleeping face.
However, as he reflected on her astounding fighting prowess, a profound sense of unease washed over him.
âNathan, when will you return? If Lucinda has two more relapses, she might unleash chaos upon the laboratory!â Aldric thought to himself.
He couldnât help but express his frustration with a sigh.
Following Lucindaâs relapse the previous night, she found herself sleeping in until noon.
In a gesture of care, Aldric prepared a nutritious porridge for her as per Nathanâs request.
Accepting the offered porridge graciously, Lucinda held it delicately and consumed it with poise, showcasing the refined demeanor befitting her affluent background.
The stark contrast to her erratic behavior the previous night was quite apparent.
Seated on the chair by the bedside, Aldric watched Lucinda savor the porridge, taking the opportunity to update her on the events from the previous night.
âWell, thatâs the situation.
There arenât many bodyguards on duty at night in the lab.
Four of them were injured by you last night.
What do you suggest we do tonight?â
Aldric harbored genuine concern, fearing that if Lucinda experienced several more relapses, the entire laboratory might be at risk of destruction by her.
