His voice held a rare tinge of vulnerability. After a moment of hesitation, Vivienne moved to his side, allowing him to wrap his right arm around her. She rested her head on his shoulder, and in no time at all, Percival drifted into sleep.

Vivienne gently removed his arm and dialed Matthew’s number.

“I couldn’t find the two ingredients you asked for on the black market.” Matthew informed her over the phone.

“Keep looking.” Vivienne commanded him. After pausing briefly, she said, “Put the word out that anyone who has these ingredients and is willing to part with them will be owed a favor by me.”

“It seems you do care a lot about your fiancé.” Matthew commented after an unexpected

After a moment of hesitation, she fetched a basin of warm water from the bathroom. She used a wet towel to carefully wipe away the sweat on his face and body, then placed a damp cloth on his forehead to bring down his temperature.
