Adam and the others were also dining in this restaurant. They had arranged people around every big hospital here but Tracey didn't show up.
"Don't worry, Adam. It's a long distance from that port to City K. Be patient."
"Yes, she'll show up in the end."
"I'm afraid she wouldn't eat well. She's pregnant now. Every meal is important."
"I hope pregnancy hasn't brought her discomfort," Adam murmured.
"Tracy will take good care of herself for the baby's sake. Don't worry."
"My heart has been beating all the time. I had a bad feeling that things will not be smooth."
"Don't think too much. Only you can understand her subtext. She'll be fme."Rose and Caesar kept comforting Adam.
Adam ordered dishes that Tracey liked and ate them all. Every bite tasted bitter.
Tracey didn't have much appetite. "What's wrong? Don't you like the food here? What about going to another restaurant?" Amiyah asked.
"No, I'm just not hungry."
"It has been more than six hours since lunch. You have to eat now. You can't starve the baby."
"Mm." Tracey slowly took a bite.
"Eat mine." Vaughn handed the already sliced steak to Tracey. The more thoughtful he was the more distressed Tracey felt.
Tracey ate half of the steak and some desserts Vaughn ordered for her.
After eating, when Tracey walked out of the restaurant, she saw a figure standing not far away.
For a moment, she thought it was her illusion. How could Adam be here?
"Adam..." Tracey could not help but shout his name.
The minute Tracey saw Adam, Vaughn saw him too. He knew that face too well.
Caesar and Rose had gone to the bathroom, and Adam was waiting for them alone. When he heard her voice, he gave a start then was driven crazy.
He looked toward where the voice came but saw no one. Was that his hallucination?
He walked over, looking around, but no one was there.
"What are you looking for, Adam?"
"I heard Tracey's voice."
"You're hallucinating again, aren't you? You just miss her so much."
"But it's too realistic," Adam mused, and they left together.
Behind a pillar, Vaughn firmly covered Tracey's mouth with his hands and whispered in her ear, "If you dare to shout again, I'll kiss you here."
