Chapter 805

Ethan Roscente bent down and effortlessly gathered Vivian Laurent into his arms.

Her eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes.

The familiar icy scent made her relax instead of struggle.

"Put me down..." Her voice was thick with sleep.

"Sleep in bed." Ethan tightened his hold.

Vivian murmured an indistinct reply before drifting off again.

He carried her to the lounge bed with careful steps.

Pulling a thin blanket over her, he dimmed the lights.

His long fingers brushed stray hairs from her forehead as he sat beside her.

Ethan watched her sleeping face, his thumb tracing the cool tips of her fingers.

Morning light filtered through the curtains.

She accepted the sandwich, reviewing medication lists between bites.

"Slow down." His brow furrowed.

He watched her busy hands helplessly.

The prepared medicines needed immediate delivery.

Vivian dialed a number. "Finn, come to my office."

Soon, Finn Deross appeared. "Master?"

"Deliver these to the designated locations." She handed him the list. "Remember—no exposure."

Finn grinned. "Leave it to me."

He expertly packed the medications and left.

Vivian headed toward the ward.

Sighing, she made another call.

"Theo, I need your help."

Theo Evans bounded over. "What is it?"

"There's an injured girl inside. Can you keep her company?"

He thumped his chest. "No problem!"

Pocketing candies, he pushed the door open. "Want some sweets, sis?"

The girl shook her teary face.

Theo tilted his head. "Candy helps when I'm sad."

"You get sad too?" She sniffled.

His gaze dropped. "When I miss Mom and Dad..."
