Chapter 6

Vespera sat in the treatment room, her wound being tended to by the doctor.

The door suddenly burst open, and a tall, imposing man stormed in with such intensity that the doctor flinched.

Vespera glanced over her shoulder. "It's fine. He's my boss."

At the last moment, she changed "husband" to "boss".

Luke's throat tightened as if something were stuck there. He stepped closer and asked the doctor,

"How bad is the injury?"

"Just a superficial wound. Nothing serious."

The doctor, uninterested in their relationship, finished treating Vespera and prescribed some medication.

Vespera thanked the doctor and walked out. Luke followed closely behind, insisting on paying for the medical fees and grabbing the medication for her, acting every bit the dutiful husband.

Vespera didn't bother to argue.
