âHe intended to splash sulfuric acid on me and harm my partner.
I was just defending myself and accidentally hurt him badly.
â
Amon looked at the manâs face, which was lacerated by her using the glass bottle, and unconsciously swallowed.
âAccidentally?â
He then spoke seriously.
âMiss Ross, you can explain it later.
Right now, you must come with us.
â
Lucinda blinked innocently.
âI can comply with the investigation and interrogation, but how long will it take?â
âIâm not sure.
It depends on whether you have done anything illegal or not,â Amon answered while putting the handcuffs on her.
Leon and Conor respectively were handcuffed by the other policemen who stepped forward.
âShe is going to be taken away.
You canât just sit there and do nothing, Kyson!â Hearing the noise, Sally ran out and grabbed Kysonâs arm.
âKyson!â
He didnât say a word but just stared at Lucinda.
Seeing that she was unable to make Kyson move, Sally wanted to rush over and stop Amon from taking Lucinda away.
However, Kysonâs subordinates stopped her from doing that.
Nathaniel didnât regain consciousness until several hours later, having fainted due to his weakened state.
The doctor was distressed at seeing Nathanielâs weakened state and bandaged the wound on his back.
In addition to administering anti- inflammatory medication, the doctor also gave Nathaniel a nutrient solution injection.
It was already late at night when Nathaniel woke up from bed.
Abel and Rickey had fallen asleep on the make-shift beds beside him.
Nathaniel scanned the room, but the sight of Lucinda, the person who could make him feel at ease, was nowhere to be found.
Panic set in, and he shook Abel awake.
âWhere is Lucinda?â Nathaniel demanded urgently.
Abel, still groggy, yawned and replied, âShe stayed to clean up the mess at the bar.
I assume sheâs returned to the villa to rest after that.
â
Frowning, Nathanielâs voice trembled as he spoke.
âShe⦠didnât come to check on me?â
âNo,â Abel responded, âshe asked Rickey and me to take you to the hospital.
â
The light in Nathanielâs eyes dimmed, and his heart ached at the thought of Lucinda not being there for him.
