“I was just heading hafter a business dinner when Chris misread the GPS and took a wrong turn. | gave him

a bit of a scolding, and | guess he got flustered and clipped your car.”

Alden nodded, the explanation washing away his lingering doubts.

“Go on, don’t keep the doctors waiting,” Lucien said, his tone gently nudging.

As Alden walked into the doctor's office, Lucien pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

A soft, surprised voice answered. “Uncle Lucien?”

“Luna, you may need to cto Cedarwood Medical Center's ER. Alden was in a car accident,” Lucien said, his

voice calm but carrying a weight that demanded attention.

“What? A car accident?” Luna’s voice spiked with alarm. “Is he okay?”

“He's fine, just a minor fender-bender. My driver didn’t see clearly and hit him near Oak Street. No need to

panic,” Lucien reassured her.

The mention of Oak Street made Luna’s stomach twist.

She knew that was near Kaia’s place.

But Alden had sworn he was still at the office when the spoken earlier.

“Got it, Uncle Lucien. I'm on my way,” Luna said.

Lucien’s such a good guy for callingto look after his nephew.

his MRI.

Lucien greeted her with a grave expression.

“Luna, | was worried about him, so | called you. | know he might findhovering a bit much, so I'd feel better if

you stayed with him. Letknow when the results cin, alright? Don’t leavehanging.”

Chris, standing off to the side, had to bite his cheek to keep from laughing.

Lucien’s performance is flawless.

Luna nodded earnestly, “Don’t worry, Uncle Lucien, I'll take care of him.”

Satisfied, Lucien gave a curt nod and left, a sly grin tugging at his lips the moment he turned away.

As soon as they were outside, he clapped Chris on the shoul

“Nice work today. You're getting triple pay this month as a bonus.”

Chris exhaled, relief flooding through him.

“Thank you, Mr. Graves. Glad you're pleased.”

“Oh, and take the rest of the night off. I've got sthings to handle,” Lucien added, waving him off.

As Chris drove away, Lucien slipped back into the hospital's ER, a plan already forming in his mind.

Half an hour later, Kaia, fresh from a shower, picked up her phone and opened Instagram.

Her heart skipped a beat when she saw Lucien’s post.

The photos showed a crumpled car and the stark white of the

ER.

The caption read: [Got into a car accident. That was close.]

Her stomach dropped.

Did this happen on his way back from her place?

She fumbled for her phone and called Lucien, her fingers trembling.

The call nearly went to voicemail before he picked up.

“Lucien! Are you okay? Did you get in an accident? Are you at the hospital?”

Her questions tumbled out in a rush, laced with worry.

Lucien’s heart warmed at the concern in her voice.

Well, it feels good to be cared for.

He cleared his throat, letting his voice dip into a faint, weary rasp. “I'm alright, just a little banged up. Nothing

serious.”

“Are you sure?” Kaia pressed, her voice thick with unease. “Do you needto ccheck on you?”

Guilt gnawed at her. If Lucien had gotten hurt driving back from her place, she'd never forgive herself.

Lucien’s lips curved into a smile he couldn't suppress.

tomorrow, | could go for ssoup,”

“I'll bring you sin the morning,” Kain said quickly.

“No rush,” Lucien replied, his tone deliberately casual. “Evening works fine. You can just drop by after work.”

“Alright, I'll leave early,” Kain promised,

After hanging up, Lucien immediately called his housekeeper. “Take tomorrow off. Yeah, a full day.

“Why? Let's just say I'm in a great mood.”

Back at the hospital, Alden shifted uncomfortably when he saw

Luna.

He'd been on his way to confront Kaia, and meeting her here had left him feeling exposed.

Luna, relieved to see him unharmed, couldn't hold back her

question.

“Alden, you were on Oak Street, weren't you? Were you looking

for Kaia?

“You toldyou were working late at the office.”

He turned the tables, his voice sharp. “Are you going to start doubtinglike she did?”

Luna’s lips quivered, her expression faltering, “I didn’t mean it like that.”

“Then why the interrogation?” Alden pressed, unrelenting.

Tears welled in Luna's eyes.

She tried to hold back her cry as she said, “I'm just scared, Alden. Scared you're going to leave me.”

Her vulnerability softened him.
