"Yes, heart failure. I recommend you terminate the pregnancy and cooperate with the treatment."

And that ancient romance novel with its imaginative premise of moving a modern apartment into an ancient battlefield—that's an amazing concept!

I've already added them to my bookshelf and am ready to stay up all night to catch up. I hope they all have a happy ending.
