Rory did not want to trouble Lian by making him come back again later, so she nodded and placed her hand into his waiting palm.
Lian's warm fingers gently closed around hers.
The next moment, a stream of pure, soothing energy flowed from his fingertips into her body.
Almost instantly, Rory felt lighter, as though a lingering weight had been lifted from her.
"Thank you, Lian."
"You never need to thank me."
Lian withdrew his hand and looked at her with undisguised concern.
"You're carrying a baby now, so you need to be especially careful with everything."
His voice was patient and gentle as he continued his instructions.
"Make sure your diet is balanced. Eat foods rich in energy, but avoid anything overly greasy."
He spoke with the meticulousness of a physician who refused to overlook even the smallest detail.
