If she hadn’t seen Selene collapse with her own eyes, she might have doubted it. But watching her fall so hard onto the floor had left no room for disbelief.

"Ms. Martin is fine, Mr. Winslow," the doctor said calmly. "It’s just fatigue. Her body gave in under accumulated stress. She will recover after some rest."

Aiden looked at her in silence, his gaze searching her eyes. For a moment, it felt like he was about to say something, but he held it back. Instead, he nodded.

"Let’s send her back tomorrow," he said, his voice as firm as his decision.
