Colby, usually fearless, showed genuine fright this time.
Nathan, overhearing this and realizing how much his recent work commitments had kept him away from his children, immediately rose and gathered them all in a comforting embrace.
As long as Im here, no one will ever bother you.
Feeling secure in his parents arms, Colby snuggled closer to Lucinda.
Mommy, youll always be here with Colby and me, wont you? Destinee asked tenderly, wrapping her arms around Lucindas neck.
Though still young, Destinee was aware of the challenges her parents faced because of some villain.
Absolutely, Daddy and Mommy wont let anyone hurt you, Lucinda replied, her voice soothing. Its still early.
Go back to sleep.
When you wake up, well take you to kindergarten together.
Due to concerns about Cory, Destinee had been spending time in the lab.
But unlike Colby, Destinee needed to attend kindergarten like other children.
Okay, deal! The children, feeling secure, always slept deeply.
Suddenly, Nathans phone vibrated with a call from Sonny.
..
Stepping quietly out of the room to avoid waking the children, Nathan answered the call.
Any news? Sonnys call could only mean it was about Cory.
Nathan was aware that Corys severe crime meant he faced the death penalty.
The judge has sentenced him to death, and the execution is set for seven days from now.
Cory is finally getting what he deserves.
After a pause, Nathan inquired, What else is he requesting? Cory had once been Nathans closest ally and friend. His path had taken a tragic turn.
Hes asked to see you one last time and requested some alcohol, Sonny relayed with a sigh.
Okay, I see, Nathan responded tersely.
After ending the call, Nathan whispered to Lucinda before grabbing his coat and heading out-he needed to speak with Cory in person.
Arriving at the National Security Bureau, Nathan retrieved two bottles of brandy from the closet and requested the canteen to prepare a meal.
It was to be their final encounter.
Greeted warmly by the staff with Good morning, he responded with only a faint smile.
