Chapter 18 

But Olivia didn’t last long

After standing in the rain for two days at Camp Liberty, then enduring the grueling trip to Lakewood County by bus and ox cart, her body was done. Her immune system was shot

Her face burned, breath came in gasps, and before she could even splash water on her face, she collapsed

When she woke, she was in bed, a cool washcloth on her forehead

You’re up,Charlie said, perched nervously by her side. Doc came by. Said you’ve got a bad fever

You need rest.” 

Olivia tried to sit up, then frozeshe was in fresh clothes. Her eyes flicked to Charlie

He turned red as a beet. It wasn’t me! I swear! I got Mrs. Clark from next door to help. Doc said your fever was too high, you needed to be changed. I didn’t touch you!” 

His panic was so earnestflailing like he needed ten mouths to explainthat Olivia let out a soft

Olivia flashed a sweet smile. We’re married now. If you’re working, so am I. If I’m beat, I’ll head 

back. Promise.” 

Charlie couldn’t argue. After a slew of warnings, he caved and let her tag along

The sun was brutal. Sweat soon dripped down Olivia’s face, soaking her clothes. But military drills had taught her to push through worse

Kneeling in the dirt, pulling weeds, her simple outfit hugged her frame, highlighting her elegance. Her fair skin and sharp features gleamed like a gem in the mud. Nearby villagers whispered to 

Charlie

Where’d you find a wife like that? She’s a knockout! No wedding bash?” 

If I had a girl like her, she wouldn’t lift a finger. You treating her right, Charlie?” 

Charlie’s face burned red

Olivia, catching his embarrassment, stood and wiped her brow

I’m helping because I want to,she said smoothly. A wedding’s just fluff. Why waste cash? We’d
