Luca's mind went completely blank, just like what happened a few days ago. Her brain froze uncontrollably...

“Mr. Crawford.." Luca tried to push the man away. She accidentally touched his fiery skin and quickly pulled her hand away. His skin was burning.

"Luca, am I sick?" Even though Luke knew what was happening to him, he still hugged her.

Luca drank the tonic too. He believed that she was not feeling any better than he was now.

"Let go of me. Let me check on you." Luke's scent filled her nostrils. Perhaps the scent used to be hypnotic, but now, the scent seemed to have triggered something in her body. It silenced her thoughts. All she wanted now was to drown herself in him, do something crazy, and let the chips fall where they may.

"You can cure me, right?" Luke was still hugging Luca, refusing to let go of her. He longed to make Luca melt into his body, his blood, and his cells.

Luca knew it was impossible to ask Luke to let go of her now.

She had no choice but to say, "How are you feeling?"

Luke buried his head in the curve of her neck, breathing in the smell that belonged to Luca. It smelled good and was sweet. The woman he longed for was in his arms now. He said, "It's hot. And it's uncomfortable. Am I having a fever?"

Fever?

Luca reckoned that Luke was having the same symptoms as she was. It must be something they ate.

The tonic. Could it be that the old master.

Before Luca could continue thinking, Luke, who was beside her, was rubbing his face on her neck. The itch of his hair on her skin shot through her nerves and into her heart, awakening something within.

Luca was already suspicious, but there was nothing she could do with Luke behaving this way now.

Her hands were bound. It took a while for Luca to lift her hand and touch the face that was buried in the curve of her neck.

His skin was not radiating heat when she touched him.

Luca understood how he felt. It was not the body but the cells in their bodies that were frenetic.
