Lucas glanced at the caregiver. "Take good care of her. If anything comes up, call me. Don't bother Aveline again."

The caregiver nodded. "Yes, sir."

...

When Lucas stepped outside, he saw Aveline's slender figure already at the entrance. She pulled her scarf tighter, looking like she was feeling the cold, and reached out to open the car door, getting in.

She turned on the heater first, waiting for the temperature to rise before starting the car.

At that moment, a knock came from the passenger side window.

Aveline turned her head to see Lucas standing there, his sharp, handsome features framed by those deep eyes.

She unlocked the car door.

Lucas opened it and got in.

She asked, "Is something wrong?"

Lucas replied, "Why did Grandma want to see you?"

Aveline shrugged. "Nothing in particular. Maybe she felt lonely and wanted someone to talk to."

And with no one else Barbara could think of, she could only call Aveline whom she had a faint impression of.

Lucas said, "If she asks for you again, you don't have to go."

He was genuinely worried that Barbara might end up bullying Aveline.
