Chapter 538 Poem

Ted imagined their passionate nights together, their connection so strong, but his body remained stubbornly unresponsive. Nothing was working.

In an attempt to shake off the frustration, he started focusing on other images—other fantasies. 

He pictured another woman, someone else entirely, hoping the distraction might help him regain control, but even that failed.

He pushed harder, thinking of his sister-in-law, someone who always seemed to stir him in the past, but even that didn't help. 

He spent several more minutes trying, but each time, his efforts fell short. 

The harder he tried, the more he felt his confidence slipping. His body refused to cooperate.

"Why... why is this happening?" Ted muttered under his breath, unable to hide the panic rising within him. 

His heart pounded in his chest, and a sense of dread washed over him.

Grace, sitting by his side, reached out gently, touching his shoulder with concern.
