I happily drank a large bowl of porridge and ate plenty of pan-fried dumplings.
I was about to eat more when Dylan stopped me.
"Don't overeat—you'll feel stuffed. If you like them, I'll make more tomorrow."
I finally put down my chopsticks.
After resting a while, Dylan and I got ready for my prenatal checkup.
When he went to get his things, I waited by the door—only to run into someone I never expected to see.
—War.
The moment he saw me, his eyes were red-rimmed, his voice ragged.
"Eve, I've finally found you."
I froze, my smile vanishing instantly.
War rushed forward and crushed me in a terrifyingly tight embrace.
"Do you know how scared I was? I thought you were on that flight, I thought you... Thank God, thank God you're safe."
Hot tears burned my shoulder where they fell.
