Lucinda was asleep by Colbyâs bedside.
The night before their flight, Lucinda and Nathan had a wild night in the hotel room, and Nathan had to massage her back and waist the next morning.
Upon returning to Stastle, Lucinda learned about Colbyâs condition, adding to her exhaustion.
Nathan, aware of her fatigue, moved quietly to cover her shoulders with a thin quilt.
He then bent down gently and ki*sed her cheek.
Lucinda remained in deep sleep.
Kyson stood at the door, observing the scene with unreadable blue eyes.
After leaving the hospital, the two men headed straight to the National Security Bureau.
Given the late hour, only a few officers were working overtime at the bureau.
Sonny, who had been asleep, rushed over upon hearing Nathan had come personally regarding Colbyâs milk powder issues.
By the time Nathan and Kysonâs luxury car arrived at the bureauâs gate, Sonny had already been waiting in the cold wind for a while, rubbing his hands together.
He ran toward the car and opened the door for Nathan.
âNathan, howâs Colby? Is his condition stable? I heard itâs related to the milk powder,â Sonny asked, fully awake, upon seeing Nathanâs serious expression.
Nathan didnât respond directly but asked, âWhy are you here?â
âMy dear nephew Colby was harmed.
How could I sleep? I came as soon as I heard you were investigating.
â
Nathan, with a cold expression, patted Sonnyâs shoulder.
âItâs hard to say if thereâs virus residue.
Weâll need to test Colby in the lab as he grows.
His heart problem is our main concern now.
Lucindaâs been with him all night.
â
âLucindaâs at the hospital with Colby? What about Destinee?â Sonny inquired.
âZenia is at home,â Nathan replied.
Frowning, Sonny pulled out his phone, sent a message on MSN, and said, âIâll ask Luisa to stay with Destinee.
Itâs best to have our own people take care of her.
â
Given the circumstances, Sonny didnât trust anyone outside their circle until the truth was uncovered.
Nathan agreed, heading into the National Security Bureau first.
Kyson also got out of the car and followed him.
As Kyson walked past, Sonny, mid-message, teased him, âHey, Mr.
Shaw youâre running the whole Shaw Group.
How do you have time for this Kyson narrowed his eyes and smirked.
âIâm here as Nathanâs assistant, not a prisoner.
Iâm helping with the investigation.
â
âWhy arenât you sleeping instead? Are you insane?â Sonny retorted.
Kyson frowned upon being scolded for no apparent reason.
âThen why did you rush here instead of sleeping? Are you insane?â
âIâm the deputy director, and Colby is my nephew.
It makes sense for me to be here,â Sonny said.
