Sonny and Kyson watched from a distance, somewhat amazed.
Sonny had not expected the children, who were so fussy earlier, to be so well-behaved with Nathan.
Was it because he was their father?
After a long silence, Kyson, observing Destineeâs peaceful sleeping face, said, âYou truly are a great father.
â
Their deep trust in Nathan showed that he had taken excellent, attentive care of them over the years.
âBut Nathan, whatâs going on with Lucinda? I know you werenât telling the truth, I want to know whatâs really happening.
â
Nathan looked down at the two children on his lap and said calmly, âSince youâre here, I canât keep it hidden, and I donât plan to.
Thereâs relevant information in the desk drawer.
Youâll understand once you look at it.
â
Before Kyson could rise, Sonny quickly moved to the desk, reluctant to let anyone else intrude on Nathanâs office space.
After reading the documents, Sonny was left speechless by the revelation.
Kyson looked stern, clenching his teeth with contained frustration.

âNathan, Lucinda has been missing for twelve hours.
And you were just in the office, smoking and drinking.
How could you do this?â Kyson questioned.
Nathan didnât even glance up and whispered, âKeep your voice down.
The kids are asleep.
If you wake them, youâll end up in the hospital tomorrow morning.
â
Realizing he needed to remain calm in front of the children, Kyson took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and asked, âSo, whatâs your plan now?â
âWait.
â
âWhat?â Kyson squinted in disbelief as he stared at him.
âSomeone is clearly targeting you and has moved against her.
Despite your high status and power in Stastle, you have many enemies.
You couldnât even keep her safe.
If you just keep waiting, what if she really is harmed?â
The connection between a mother and her children is profound and instinctual.
Colby and Destinee both awoke in the middle of the night, terrified by nightmares of Lucinda being injured.
Kyson suspected these dreams were more than mere coincidences.
Lucinda might have already been harmed.
These attackers were ruthless.
They didnât hesitate to target the wealthiest person in Cadiered.
Losing a limb was the least of the possible injuries.
What if she had been poisoned or worse?
The more Kyson dwelled on these thoughts, the more agitated he became.
His eyes reddened with fury, his emotions briefly spiraled out of control, and his hands trembled as he clutched the document.
Nathan slowly raised his gaze, his look filled with sarcasm.
âKyson, youâre losing it.
Have you forgotten that you have a girlfriend? This was my fault.
I failed to protect Lucinda.
But tell me, if you were in my shoes, could you honestly say youâd do any better?â
Kysonâs complexion turned ashen.
Over the years, he had seen how strong Nathan and Lucindaâs relationship was, how carefully Nathan cared for his wife, how well he looked after their children, and how adeptly he balanced work with family life.
