Elaine deflated as soon as she heard Liam say it out loud. She’d been avoiding it with Lucas for so long because every time she’d brought it up, he’d always turned her down. Always. Never believed her.

There were only so many times she wanted to hear Lucas‘ disbelief about her illness.

Lucas took a breath. Elaine was sick. He looked at her now. She didn’t exactly look sick, though if Liam was going out of his way for some sort of medication, perhaps she was.

“The medication is called Raidant. It’s like a miracle worker,” Liam said.

Elaine stared at Lucas, waiting for his reply.

“You’re sick,” Lucas muttered. She nodded. “For how long?”

“For a while now,” Elaine said, plainly.

“Since the Island?”

Elaine almost scoffed. She’d been sick a lot longer than that. She rolled her eyes and looked away from him. “Liam isn’t trying to deal drugs with the rogues, Lucas. He’s trying to get me medication.”

“Why didn’t you come to me?” Lucas asked.

“When have you ever believed me?” Elaine shot back, glaring at him. “And you’re not my husband anymore. I don’t have to tell things.”

Lucas looked almost hurt. Then his expression hardened. “You do not need some random drug from this LSL company. You have no idea what’s even in it.”

“No. You have no idea what I need, Lucas. This is the only thing that I have found that actually works. You’re not talking me out of it.” Elaine had already felt the effects of the medication. She knew how much her body needed this.

Even if it was only a temporary fix.

Lucas didn’t seem to understand, though she hadn’t expected him to. Maybe he thought she simply had something as common as a cold. But she wasn’t going to linger around here any longer.

She looked to Liam. “Let’s go,” she said, turning and heading out of the room.

Lucas sighed and glanced to the officer outside the door, he nodded to Liam and the officer stepped forward to uncuff him.
