As Yael placed a flower crown on my head, I noticed Whitney quietly walking toward Taylor in the distance.

Taylor was smoking when Whitney slipped her arms around him from behind.

I immediately understood her intention-Whitney was trying to compromise herself to get the antidote from Taylor for me.

That fool!

I couldn't let her humiliate herself like this.

Taylor quickly dropped his cigarette and pulled her into his arms in surprise.

My view was abruptly blocked.

Yael stood in front of me, his expression a mix of obsession and unsettling tenderness. "Chloe, could you not look at anyone else? Just look at me, okay?"

His tone was polite, almost pleading, but I had a strong feeling that if I refused, he would chop off my head -the next moment.

Reluctantly, I turned my gaze to him. He opened his palm, revealing a grasshopper woven from blades of

grass.

"Do you like it, Chloe?"

I nodded. His hands were indeed skillful.

Seeing my approval, his face lit up with happiness. "I can also make little rabbits, bears... Chloe, what do you like? Why don't I make them all for you?"

He tugged me toward a grassy patch near the edge of a cliff, urging me to sit.

Behind us loomed the steep drop, while in front, a sloping field of grass swayed like waves in the wind.

The valley was empty, save for our group. It was vast, tranquil, and eerily serene.

Why wasn't Carter here to share this beautiful scenery with me?

Yael picked some fresh grass and placed it in my hand. Chloe, let me teach you how to make a rabbit."
