“What’s there to thank me for? Everything you need is already here. We’re heading out,” Joshua said.

Watching their car fade into the distance, Joshua scooped Xylia into his arms and headed back to their cozy little villa.

Inside, the air was warm–the AC had been running ahead of time–wrapping them in comfort the second they stepped through the door.

He carried Xylia straight to the bedroom, lowering his gaze to meet her exhausted, drowsy eyes.

‘Why won’t this fear go away?‘ Joshua thought, feeling the leftover terror gnaw at his heart.

His throat felt thick, almost clogged, as he reached out and gently brushed his hand over Xylia’s cheeks.

“Xylia, wake up,” Joshua called to her, his voice gentle with a deep warmth.

He repeated her name softly, again and again, the tenderness in his tone unmistakable.

Xylia slowly woke up, her eyelids fluttering. She blinked at the unfamiliar room, her mind suddenly sharp for a brief second as she tried to figure out where she was.

But the moment she sensed Joshua right there with her, she let herself relax completely.

Xylia asked groggily, “What’s wrong?” Her voice was a bit husky from sleep.

Joshua furrowed his brows just slightly. “We’ve arrived. Why don’t you take a nice hot bath before going back to sleep? I’ll make us both some ginger tea.”

Joshua gently pulled her upright, and Xylia just melted into his arms, barely able to keep herself standing. “I don’t want to move,” she murmured, clinging to him like her whole body refused to cooperate.

‘Honestly, I can’t move an inch,‘ Xylia thought, totally spent. ‘I’ve never hiked this much in my whole life.

“Need me to give you a hand in the shower?” Joshua teased, a mischievous glint in his eye.

Xylia struggled upright, grumbling sleepily but stubborn. “I can walk on my own.”

Joshua couldn’t help but laugh as he watched her shuffle drowsily toward the bathroom.

“Hey, aren’t you forgetting something?” he called, still grinning.

Xylia dragged herself back, snatched her clothes from the closet, and finally trudged into the bathroom.

Joshua grabbed his clothes and headed to the other bathroom. After a quick shower, he went to the kitchen and put on a pot of ginger tea, tossing in a couple bowls of noodles just to be safe.

Just in case they caught a cold.

Joshua found some cold medicine, grabbed two pills, and carried everything to the bedroom.

He arrived just as Xylia was finishing her bath.

Xylia had nearly drifted off in the bathtub earlier.
