“You stayed up late caring for Noelle last night.

Why didn’t you get more sleep? And now, you’ve come here to deliver the evidence yourself.

Lucinda explained, “Cyrus is at the lab with Noelle, so they don’t really need me there.

I figured I could bring the evidence to you myself.

Take a look.

Nathan casually examined the files and grinned.

“Excellent.

With this proof, we can press charges against Mekhi for imprisoning his mother and sister, as well as manipulating his sister through hypnosis.

She gently cupped his face and planted a sweet ki*s on his Lips.

“You’re amazing,” she complimented.

He furrowed his brow playfully.

“Just amazing?”

She raised an eyebrow and teased, “Yes! I can’t shower you with too much praise as you might get too complacent.

With a chuckle, he whispered in her ear, “It looks like you’re not entirely satisfied with me.

I promise to give my best ‘performance’ tonight, to show you just how good I can be! Don’t forget to shower me with compliments afterwards.

She erupted in laughter, her eyes sparkling and lovely.

Nathan said, “It’s nearly noon, and this marks your first visit here.

Let me give you a tour of my workplace, and you can try the food at the cafeteria.

Lucinda nodded and he held her hand.

They strolled into his office discreetly through the rear entrance, where just a few people passed by, and they enjoyed a lunch break together.

Later in the afternoon, Larry, who had exhaustively searched the Shaws’ house, returned.

This time, he discovered something in Mekhi’s study.

Nathan was busy reviewing all the evidence that Sonny had organized when Larry placed a small object wrapped in candy paper on his desk.

“Sir, I couldn’t find any suspicious circumstances related to Kaitlin’s death, but I did make another significant discovery.

Nathan set aside the items he held and collected the object from Larry.

He unwrapped it to reveal a clear substance resembling a “candy” in the candy paper.

The moment he saw it, fury overtook him.

“No wonder his demeanor has changed dramatically, and he’s become so erratic.

He’s been using drugs!”

Larry’s face mirrored the same seriousness.

Both of them appeared deeply angered and stunned.

Thirty minutes later, Nathan headed to the interrogation room in the outskirts alone.
