“You are not aware? I sent you a distress message.

Weren’t you the one who told Nathan to come and save Kyson?”

Lucinda picked up her phone and checked the message.

Then she saw the time she got the message.

At that time, she was still asleep.

It appeared Nathan had taken matters into his own hands after reading it.

Convinced that Kyson was now safe, she pushed the matter aside and went on, “Mekhi wants you to figure out how to get your bodyguards into Noelle’s room?”

“Yes,” Sally affirmed, nodding.

Lucinda burst into laughter, thinking about the height of Mekhi’s desperation.

He clearly understood that Sally was simple and guileless, but he gave her such a task?

Holding Lucinda’s hands, Sally earnestly implored, “Lucinda, please help me.

I believe Mekhi just wants the bodyguards to convey a message to Noelle.

They won’t be in there for long.

“Noelle is still recovering, and she won’t be receptive to others.

Also, your brother’s intentions can’t be that simple,” Lucinda remarked.

“What should I do, then?” Sally inquired.

Lucinda raised an eyebrow and smiled, proposing a solution that would leave Mekhi with no easy way out.

“He threatened to beat you this time.

You need to stand your ground.

Why not stay here for some days?

If he can’t find you, he can’t harm you.

I have plenty of guest rooms, and I don’t mind you staying here.

Despite Sally’s inclination to agree, she couldn’t bring herself to.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea.

Even if I stay here for a few days, I’ll eventually have to return home.

By then, he might even be more infuriated.

And he might resort to more drastic measures when I return.

Lucinda smiled reassuringly and patted her on the cheek.

“Don’t worry.

The drama will end soon.

He will be able to do nothing to you by then.

“Really?”

Lucinda nodded seriously.

It didn’t seem like she was joking.

“What of the two bodyguards outside?” Sally asked.

“I’ll have them return to their usual place,” Lucinda assured.

At noon, Nathan got a call from Aldric, prompting him to rush to the lab.

Aldric presented him with printed data and explained, “Nathan, this drug wasn’t manufactured here.

It seems to originate from a foreign country and is banned on the market.

I suspect Mekhi acquired it at a high cost from the black market.
