When it came time to order, Adrian rattled off a list of dishes effortlessly: No ginger, go easy on the spice, extra vinegar, simmer it until it’s really soft” 

All Zoe Young’s preferences

Not until the waiter turned to Liana and asked, And for you, ma’am?did he seem to remember her presence. He glanced at her as if waking from a daze

She was allergic

Adrian used to remember all her allergies- 

Even during field drills, he’d specially prepare separate rations for her

But now, he’d ordered a full pot of mushroom stew

Liana?Zoe cried out. Your neckit’s turning red!” 

Adrian looked up. Seeing the flushed color in her cheeks, he shoved back his chair. Did you eat mushrooms?!” 

Her breathing quickened, vision blurring

Time stopped

She watched Adrian stand paralyzed, his gaze flitting wildly between her and Zoe

Then he scooped Zoe up in his arms

As he turned, he called out over his shoulder to the waiter, Please take this lady to the hospital!”

A completely, Liana heard Zoe’s tearful coo

Landon, what if something happens to our baby” 

The sterile scent of disinfectant made Liana frown

When she opened her eyes, a nurse was adjusting the IV drip

Thank goodness you’re awake!the nurse sighed in relief. Ten more minutes and the allergic reaction would’ve suffocated you.” 

Liana opened her mouth, but her throat burned too badly to speak

She shut her eyes. Her tears soaked silently into the pillow

For three days, she lay in that hospital bed alone

The rash from the allergy felt like ants gnawing her skin. Her throat was so swollen she couldn’t even swallow

In the most unbearable dead of night, she overheard two nurses whispering in the corridor- 

Room 408, that pregnant woman? Her contractions were from emotional distress. Her man hasn’t left her side once.” 

Unlike 402. Anaphylactic shock, almost died. Her husband didn’t even show up- might as well be dead.”

The door flung open, and Adrian Graham bolted out, just in time to catch Zoe Young walking out from her prenatal checkup

His hand cradled her lower back protectively, and his voice was gentle, like he was afraid of startling her. The doctor said your body’s weak. Don’t walk too fast…” 

That soft, coaxing toneit was the same one he’d used years ago when she twisted her ankle, and he carried her across ten miles of mountain trails

Standing in the shadow of a sycamore tree, Liana watched the jeep speed off, scattering dried leaves under its wheels

The black exhaust it belched blurred her vision, settling like filthy snow across her

As dusk fell, dry leaves swirled up the steps in the cold wind

Liana Langston dragged her exhausted body home, only to see a tall figure standing in front of her door from a distance

Beside his boots were seven or eight shopping bags. Cans of malted milk, bottles of herbal syrup, and jars of fruit preserves gleamed under the moonlight

In his hand, he held a pouch of herbal cough remedyher most effective remedy when her coughing fits flared up

Liana,” he strode up to her in a flash, crunching a dry leaf beneath his boots. Are you feeling better from the allergy?” 

How laughable

In broad daylight, he acted like she was invisible. Now, suddenly, he remembered she needed the remedy

Thank you for your concern, Landon,” she said, stepping aside to reach for her keys. I’ll live.” 

He abruptly pressed down on her hand at the lock, his palm burning. Please take these” 

Landon!Zoe Young’s tearful voice pierced the night. The Criminal Investigation Division found out I was selling military supplies!”
