The position Cassian and Wanda were in made her feel as though they were lovers. Her heart pounded, and her body trembled subconsciously.Since her husband's death, she'd never been in a room alone with a man before, not the way she was right now—and especially not this intimate with someone. She felt rather flustered, but there was also a hint of anticipation in her heart.Her feelings were rather conflicted."You have great skin, Wanda," Cassian remarked.Wanda was at her wits' end. She was terrified that, in a moment of impulsiveness, she would end up giving in to him completely."Don't do this, Cassian," she said as she hurriedly pushed him away."You're in perfect health, Wanda. I don't see anything wrong with you," Cassian said calmly, as if nothing happened. "You can take the room, Wanda. I'll sleep on the couch.""You're a guest. I can't let you do that.""So, you want to share a bed with me?" Cassian asked half-teasingly.Wanda turned scarlet. "In your dreams!"Chuck

"You're definitely not from Earth," Cassian declared. "You're an angel who descended from heaven."Wanda reveled at the compliment, but she glared at Cassian and said, "What a smooth talker you are.""I'm telling the truth—"Cassian had only gotten halfway through his sentence when his ears twitched. He had heard a faint movement outside the door.He looked over and used the All-Seeing Eye to see through the door. Amos and Martha stood outside, their ears pressed against the door.What were they doing? Were they trying… to hear what was going on between him and Wanda?Seriously?Cassian had no words."What are you looking at?" Wanda asked."Nothing." Cassian turned back to her. "You look exhausted, Wanda. You probably haven't been resting well because of Sadie's condition, right? And you had to make the trip with me today. You must be pretty worn out."Wanda smiled and said, "I'm fine.""Don't force yourself to put on a strong front. I can tell how tired you are. Come on. Fl

"Did you go out so early in the morning just to arrange a ride for me?" Cassian felt deeply moved."Yeah," Amos said with a broad grin. "The road to Everstream isn't an easy journey. I was worried you wouldn't be able to handle it on a motorcycle, so I found us a van instead. After breakfast, I'll go with you to Everstream.""I'm going too," Wanda said."What are you going for?" Amos said to her. "I'll go with Cassian. That's enough.""I don't care. I'm going either way." Wanda shot Cassian a look as if to say she wanted to be with him, even in death.Amos' expression grew stern. "A frail woman like you won't be of any help even if you come along. Don't cause more trouble for him.""I'm going!" Wanda insisted."How dare you take that tone with me? Have you no respect for your father?" Amos got pretty mad.Cassian hastily chimed in, "Mr. Colt, Wanda, I'll head to Everstream alone. You guys don't need to accompany me.""Cassian, one more person means one more helping hand. What

Gradually, Darren started looking at Cassian differently, which allowed Cassian to guess that it was most likely Amos who'd called.Sure enough, after a few short exchanges, Darren ended the call and grinned at Cassian. "So, you're Wanda's man, huh? You should've said so earlier. That makes us family."One of the villagers piped up, "You said he's Wanda's man, Mr. Gulley?""That's right.""But didn't her husband die a few years ago?"Darren shot the villager a glare and barked, "You don't know anything. This is Wanda's new man."That made sense. The villagers' attitude toward Cassian became a lot friendlier."That explains everything. Why would the authorities have sent a medical team to some little mountain village like Everstream? Wanda must've helped us out.""Wanda hasn't forgotten about me, her uncle. Once this matter is settled, we must thank her properly," Darren said to the villagers, who all agreed with him."I apologize for my poor attitude earlier, Dr. York. Please

As if recalling something extremely frightening, Darren relayed what he knew. "Tate was a bold man. He didn't believe in ghosts or spirits, so even when people started dying in the village, he kept going about his business as usual."He was busy working all day yesterday. In the evening, his wife cooked dinner and called him home to eat. He was pretty worn out and had some cat piss during dinner.""Cat piss?" Cassian froze, thinking to himself that the people of Everstream had some pretty unique tastes."Oh, that's slang for liquor. We all call it cat piss here," Darren explained before going on with his story. "It was in the middle of dinner when Tate suddenly started shouting, looking like he was pretty pissed about something."At first, his wife thought he'd gotten drunk, so she chided him a little. To her shock, that didn't calm him down. Instead, he began shouting even more. Sensing that something wasn't right, she came to get me."My house is only about 200 yards away, so I
