Chapter 160

• The sickness started slowly in the day, and then it hit her all at once. She was in the middle of washing dishes when a dizziness overcame her and she collapsed on the cold ground. The guard that had been helping her nearby picked her up and carried her to where Lucas was speaking quietly with a ghostly Enzo.
• They’d set their party up in a temporary cabin that hadn’t yet been touched by the sickness. Or, they set themselves up while the villagers suffered in the other ones. Lucas dropped the papers he was holding and took her in his arms the second he saw her. Already she felt sweaty and nauseated as if she was about to throw up all over him. How had it gotten a hold of her so fast?
• “You got sick! I fucking knew this was going to happen!” Lucas growled and carried her up to one of the empty rooms. Each of his stomps were like echos in her throbbing mind. He placed her in the center of the bed and started to pull off her boots and thick sweater.
