Sweetheart, you wouldnt believe how rough Cory was on me last night.
Im covered in bruises.
It hurts.
Lucinda approached, gently rubbing a spot he had just indicated, and said softly, Our kids are five now.
If they heard you, they might find it amusing.
Arching an eyebrow, Nathan quipped, Whats the harm? Im just flirting with my wife.
Anyone dares to mock me for that? After uttering those words, he nestled his head in Lucindas embrace, finding sudden solace.
Thus, they stood together by the window for a long time.
Above them, stars adorned the night sky.
Its said that those we lose become stars above. Darling, someday when we⦠Lucinda, I promise well be safe and live a long life together.
So, fret not, Nathan interrupted gently.
With those reassuring words, Nathan bent to kiss Lucinda tenderly.
In his heart, he envisioned a future where Lucinda, himself, and their little ones would flourish in happiness.
Their tender moment was interrupted by a knock on the door, breaking their intimacy.

Nathan, the results are in, Aldric announced urgently.
Instantly, Nathan released Lucinda, saying, Sweetheart, go to bed with the children.
I must speak with Cory at the National Security Bureau.
Why must you go there at this hour? Is there something youre not telling me? Lucinda asked, her voice tinged with suspicion.
It was nearly ten oclock in the evening.
Couldnt Nathan visit the Bureau the next morning? What urgency drove him to go now, in the dead of night? Could it be that Cory did something bad again? Lucinda anxiously searched Nathans eyes for reassurance.
He responded with a calm smile, No worries.
Larry called earlier.
Cory wants to have a talk with me.
Nathan had made plenty of promises before, but each time he put himself in danger.
Lucinda embraced him tightly, her concern evident.
Promise me youll take care of yourself. If you come back hurt again, Ill have Kern teach you a good lesson.
Im serious! Got it, Nathan replied with a grin.
But once he left the room, Nathans smile vanished.
He turned serious and headed to Aldrics examination room.
Handing Nathan the test results, Aldric remarked, I can confirm theres no virus in your system.
Corys just trying to scare you.
Nathan lowered his eyes, lost in thought.
A realization suddenly struck him.
Cory aimed to incite panic and fear in him.
