Lucas walked over and crouched beside Sloane, then gently scooped her up into
his arms.
Her cheek pressed against his firm chest, their sweat mixing where their skin touched. She frowned in distaste.
“I'm fine. Just completely drained. | just need to rest a little.”
Lucas looked down at her, noticing her discomfort, then carried her over to the small bed and laid her down
carefully. “I'll have Andrew prepare a bath for you. You'll feel better after soaking.”
“Alright.” This time, Sloane didn’t argue—she really was exhausted.
Lucas turned and dressed, then made a call to Andrew. Remembering how weightless she'd felt in his arms, he
added a request for snutritional supplements as well.
Later, Sloane sank into the natural hot spring inside the villa, letting out a long sigh of relief. She hadn't
expected Lucas’s private hto cwith a real geothermal spring.
The warm water wrapped around her aching limbs, slowly dissolving her tension and fatigue.
Just as she started to fully relax, she casually lifted her gaze-and spotted another figure through the mist, just
beyond the edge of her pool.
A closer look revealed it was none other than Lucas.
Her eyes widened in shock.
“Don’t panic,” cLucas’s voice from the other side. Calm. Gentle. “There's a screen dividing the two pools.
We can hear each other, but we can’t see through. You have my word—I can’t see you.”
Sloane frowned slightly. “I'm not panicking. But why didn’t you tellbeforehand?”

Leaning against the warm stone wall, Lucas gave a small wince and said awkwardly,

Sloane was speechless at the answer. But knowing he was just on the other side didn’t dampen her mood in the
slightest.
So what if a beautiful man was bathing naked nearby? She'd already seen every inch of him during treatment.
“Lalalala, lalalala!” she hummed cheerfully, stretching out in the water.
On the other side, Lucas heard her and shook his head helplessly. To him, she was still just a carefree little girl
who didn’t know the weight of the world yet.
After his soak, Lucas changed and waited in the gazebo outside for Sloane to finish.
Soon, Andrew arrived from the side path, his steps brisk. Lowering his voice, he said, “Sir, Madam Aubrey took
more than a dozen bodyguards to Sand Island. She wants to take Mason away.”
At those words, Lucas’s expression darkened instantly. A flash of emotion flickered in his eyes-so brief it was
nearly invisible, but unmistakably bitter.
He fell silent for a long while. When he finally spoke, his voice was cold and steady as steel. “What else did she
do?”
Sand Island was his private territory, entirely under his control. A dozen bodyguards couldn't even find the gate,
let alone get close to Mason. If Andrew had call this way to report it in person, she must have done
something more
extreme.
Andrew hesitated before lowering his
voice further. “Madam... held a
dagger to her own rea. Said We
didnt hbadMbson over, she'd spill
her blood on the spot. The men on
the island didn't dare act. We had no
choice but to report to you first.” The
