Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

Can you be a bit lenient with me?”

Had Nathaniel just begged for mercy?

Lucinda chuckled and then pursed her lips.

Nathaniel gave up his dignity quickly.

Initially, he had almost convinced Lucinda that he didn’t fear pain.

Silently, she proceeded to unfasten the belt around his wrists.

Nathaniel tried to dodge, but she managed to grab his arms.

He buried his face in the quilt.

It looked as though she had no intention of reducing his punishment.

His strength was depleted while Sonny treated his wound earlier.

Now his body was weak and feeble.

If he was taken to the garden and whipped two hundred times by Rickey, he was certain he would faint.

If he passed out, Lucinda would realize something was wrong and might inspect his wound.

His wound was three days old.

And since it was a mysterious virus infection, it was obviously different from the acid burn.

Lucinda was shrewd enough to discover what had happened.

While he was thinking these problems through, Lucinda unfastened the belt.

She stood by his bed, tilting her head to observe his reaction.

With a sly smile, she said, “Let’s go.

”

Nathaniel didn’t move.

Lucinda had anticipated this.

She turned around to close the window.

Fearing she was about to leave the room, Nathaniel grabbed her wrist and said, “Lucinda, my back still hurts.

I’m weak…” The punishment was too much for him to bear.

He took a deep breath and continued, “If my punishment must continue, can we at least postpone it?”

So, he wanted to be punished after he recovered.

But Lucinda didn’t really intend to punish him.

She just wanted to frighten him.

The wound on his back was still bleeding.

He had been hurt because of her.

Although she had administered the antidote, she was not heartless enough to punish a patient so cruelly.

She sat on the edge of the bed and asked Nathaniel, “Tell me honestly, why are you in such poor shape? The @23 would have only intensified the pain you felt, but it shouldn’t have damaged your body.

What are you hiding from me?”

After considering his options, Nathaniel sat up and lowered his eyes.

“I caught a cold the same day that the man splashed me with sulfuric acid.

I cleaned the villa all day, and that led to my weakness.

I have nothing to hide from you.

”

Lucinda believed him.

He was burnt by sulfuric acid when he was already weak.

After receiving the antidote, he recovered a lot.
