Zachary walked past Cynthia’s room, only to see the door left slightly ajar. Cain was alert as he stood in the corridor, guarding the place.

After some thought, Zachary decided against going upstairs and knocked on Cynthia’s door.

Two nurses came running to open the door and greeted him.

“Is she still awake?”

“Yes, Mr. Nacht. Ms. Blackwood has been waiting for you.” The nurses then smiled and excused themselves from the room.

Zachary’s curiosity was piqued as he walked slowly in.

Cynthia was dressed in a white lace nightgown with her hair let down in the room. After fiddling about at the incense table, a wisp of purple mist slowly appeared, emitting a fresh fragrance.

 

The effect of the mist accentuated Cynthia’s beauty even more. She broke out into a warm smile when she saw Zachary and gestured in sign language. “Grandpa said you haven’t been sleeping well. I’ve mixed some lavender oil for you to place in your room. It will help you sleep better.”
