The group returned to the hotel happy, grateful, and fulfilled. The hardest part of their work seemed to have been settled.
As the car slowly pulled into the hotel's parking lot, Ethan helped Davis out and wheeled him carefully into their suite.
Once inside, Davis gave Ethan a curt nod before heading toward the door.
"Ethan, take a break for the day... Maybe use the opportunity to explore Noveira," he said.
Ethan nodded. "I understand." He glanced lightly at Jessica before leaving for his room.
Jessica walked over to the sofa and sat down, her head throbbing. Still, she dared not complain—Davis would worry too much, and he already had a scheduled meeting with some of his friends later.
Davis's gaze settled on her, sharp as ever, observant. He took in the lines of tension around her eyes, the paleness just under her skin. "Babe, are you okay?" he asked, his voice laced with concern.
