Another day, another morning spent with Lindsay under the sun. Some time later, a servant came with news. "Mr. Murray, Admiral Moody is here."

"Is that so?" Jerry and Evan were old friends. The admiral's wife was an Astorian, so she loved seeing her countrymen. The moment the Murrays moved to Yucaria, Evan came to see them. Since then, Jerry made a new friend in the admiral. "Get the admiral some chamomile tea. He loves that. Tell him I'll be with him shortly."

"Understood." The servant went to serve Evan.

Meanwhile, Jerry held Lindsay's hand. "Can't leave the guest waiting, honey. It's Evan. You've always been a proud woman. I know you don't want anyone to see you looking like this. I won't let him come up, I promise." Then, he wiped Lindsay's mouth. Since she couldn't speak, and her mouth was always open, she'd always drool.

Even Jerry thought Lindsay must feel embarrassed; she was born a lady, so everything she did would exude elegance. No matter the circumstance, she wouldn't make herself out to be a fool. "I have to see Evan now, honey. Wait for me. I won't be long. Get some sunlight, alright?" Jerry patted her hand before going downstairs. After taking her back here, he seldom left her side. All he wanted to do was spend more time with her, for they didn't have long left.

In the meantime, Evan was already waiting for him in the living room. "My dear friend!" Evan hugged him. "I heard about your wife's condition. What happened? Is she fine?"

Jerry answered politely, "Truth be told, no."

"Why did she fall sick all of a sudden?"
