At that moment, inside a private hospital, Nathaniel stood in Queenie's ward, his expression unreadable as he told her he already knew about her condition.

Queenie's heart clenched with worry. She fixed her gaze on him urgently. "Nathaniel, no matter what happens, you mustn't tell Ceci. I don't want her to worry."

Nathaniel's brows furrowed, his voice low and serious. "But have you considered how devastated she would be if you kept it from her... and then you were gone?"
