Beneath the table, Thaddeus clenched his trembling hands into fists, his gaze dark and unreadable.

"I'm fine. Dr. Alexia, is there something you need?"

Alexia's smile was gentle. "Mr. Thaddeus, have you forgotten? Mr. Frederic instructed me to stay close and keep an eye on your health whenever I'm available."
