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.”

Her favors were rare and precious. They were sometimes powerful enough to cheat death.

She believed that once this message was out, the items she sought would find their way to

her.

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

pause.

Vivienne didn’t confirm or deny it. She simply hung up.

She glanced at Percival, who lay on the couch with his eyes closed.

“Mr. Wolf.” Vivienne called softly.

Percival opened his eyes slightly to look at her. She helped him up. “Let’s get you to bed.”

He nodded. His lips pressed together as she supported him up the stairs to the bedroom. His nearly six-foot-three frame weighed heavily on Vivienne.

Finally, she managed to get him into the room and settled him onto the bed, where he promptly fell back into slumber.

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.
