Somewhere deep in the forest, Zeke Veridian was crouched by a stream, carefully brewing a potion, the seriousness in his expression beyond words.
His technique was so skilled, anyone could tell he'd done this a lot before.
He watched the medicine as it thickened, just about ready, and was about to pour it out and drink.
Suddenly, footsteps came from behind.
He quickly hid the medicine jar behind his back, shooting a wary glance at whoever was coming.
But when he saw it was Luna Sutton, he froze on the spot, his handsome face suddenly colored with embarrassment. "Luna, what brings you here?"
Luna naturally noticed how he was sneaking the medicine behind his back. She rolled her eyes. "If I didn't show up, you'd probably just drink whatever, wouldn't you? Zeke, there's no problem with your body anymore. You'll have a kid sooner or later—no need to drink all this random stuff."
Zeke pressed his lips together, stubbornly saying, "But I want our baby to come sooner."
