I hear Asher screaming my name from my study, and I panic because I sense fear in his voice. He's not just screaming; he's calling my attention to something bad that might have happened.
I traced his voice to the pool area, knowing Nadine went that way after we got back to the house. I wanted to follow her but decided to stay back, not wanting to invade her space since she was conflicted about me and thought it was because of Samantha.
I rush to the pool and see Nadine has passed out. I can see panic in Asher's voice as he looks between me and Nadine. "What happened to her? What have you done to her?" I ask, wondering why Nadine is in this state.
I scoop her up into my arms, her fragile body clinging to me like a lifeline. I carry her away from the pool, noticing Asher is hot on my tail. "What happened?" I ask him as I lay her down on the couch.
"We were just talking about some random things, and then I realized she was gasping for air," Asher explains, looking scared. "I've never experienced anything like this before. Then she passed out right in front of me, Logan."
I pace back and forth in the living room, having ordered Kayla to call my doctor to attend to Nadine.
"What were you guys talking about that might have triggered this?" I ask Asher, frustrated.
"We were talking about Livia," Asher says. I know Livia was Asher's daughter who passed away, and there are many unanswered questions surrounding her birth. Asher rarely discusses it, but the fact that he was discussing Livia with Nadine piques my interest.
