He nodded faintly.
“Do you want to catch some sleep first? I can swing by after my infusion,” she offered, concern coloring her tone.
Cristian shook his head. “No need, I’m good right here.” For him, simply being by her side was enough.
Time was precious, and with tasks still looming, Cristian treasured every extra moment with Fernanda.
He settled back into the soft sofa, stealing glances at Fernanda next to him. Despite their month apart, she looked unchanged, her beauty as breathtaking as ever. Yet, there was a new softness in her voice when she spoke to him. He pondered whether her gentleness stemmed from her illness or if it was just how she was with him now.

Even from afar, he kept a watchful eye on her. He had spotted the news from Bright Lights Media the moment it was posted.
He recalled the tightness in his chest as he read the report, feeling the tension and Rafael’s menacing presence as if he were there.
The thought of Fernanda stepping wrong and jeopardizing her reputation was enough to make Cristian seethe with anger.
Breaking the brief silence, he offered, “When I came from the airport, I noticed Bright Lights Media had reposted the news, but it fizzled out fast. Looks like someone’s keeping it quiet. If you want to make a splash with it, I’m here to help p>
