Soldiers from the National Security Bureau moved in, surrounding Cory and placing him in handcuffs.
Cory laughed maniacally, his ferocious scar accentuating his terrifying appearance.
He appeared unhinged, a complete madman.
As he was being led away by the soldiers, he remained defiantly arrogant.
Nathan, youd better hope I get executed.
You know the prison cant hold me.
Ill come for you sooner or later.
Nathan ignored Corys threats.
After untying the ropes that bound him, he rushed to Lucinda, his eyes full of concern. Lucinda, its such a relief youre okay.
God knew how worried he was when he couldnt get in touch with her.
Having lost her so many times, Nathan couldnt bear the thought of something happening to her again.
Lucinda gently stroked his face, her eyes filled with sympathy.
Im fine.
Youve arranged for people in the lab, but why didnt you fight back when he had a gun pointed at you? Do you want to be punished again? You promised me that you would protect yourself.
Why did you take such a risk? As she spoke, Lucinda couldnt help but hug the man in front of her tightly.
When she saw Corys gun aimed at Nathans head earlier, her heart had nearly stopped.
She feared all it would take was for the madmans finger to twitch and he would pull the trigger.
Fortunately⦠Nestled in Lucindas embrace, Nathan experienced a wave of contentment.
This is all on me.
If it makes you feel better, Im ready for any consequence.
You sure have a way with words, dont you? How can you still joke at a time like this? Lucinda thumped him angrily.
Nathan winced and caught his breath sharply.

s ...
Lucinda, alarmed by his reaction, pressed anxiously, Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere? Tell me if youre feeling ill.
She called out to Sonny, Sonny, get the doctor! Somethings wrong with Nathan! Grasping her hand, Nathan managed a weak smile and whispered, Im fine, really.
All I need is a kiss from you to make it better. At his words, Lucinda was momentarily lost for words.
She glanced at him, still insisting that the doctor come and check him thoroughly.
Luckily, aside from a few bruises, Nathan was otherwise unharmed.
Upon confirming that he was unharmed, Lucinda felt a wave of relief wash over her and departed from the cemetery alongside him.
Her worry had consumed her throughout the entire night, and it was only in this moment of reassurance that she managed to find some peace, eventually dozing off against Nathans shoulder.
Nathan..
Sonny, in the drivers seat, glanced over his shoulder, about to speak.
However, Nathan quickly signaled for silence with a hand gesture.
He realized Lucindas sheer exhaustion and her need for undisturbed sleep.
