Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

“I can walk by myself,” Duncan insisted, refusing Liberty’s help.

He could take a few steps, but he didn't walk like a typical person.

“I have something to support me, so it’s much easier to move around,” he explained as Liberty stood by, watching him approach.

“What's wrong?” Duncan asked gently.

“Are you okay? You've been sneezing a lot; maybe you caught a cold.” Duncan wanted to show he cared for her, just as she cared for him.

He longed for a relationship built on mutual support, understanding, and trust.

Liberty realized why he had come over.

“I sneeze occasionally, but you don't need to worry.

I’ve been in Jensburg for a while now, so I’ve adapted to the winter here,” she reassured him.

“Maybe someone is talking bad about me behind my back, which is why I keep sneezing, she joked.

Duncan, ever the protector, replied, “/WVhoever that person is, they dare to speak ill of my fiancee?” Liberty shot him a playful look, her face lighting up with happiness.
