After hanging up the phone, Lena was restless for the rest of her shift.

She’d never felt such an urge to return to Aaron‘ residence, but today, she left work early and went straight there. However, the usually punctual Aaron was nowhere to be found.

She called him. “Uncle, why aren’t you home?”

“I’m at the old house,” he replied, which only made Lena more anxious.

“Is Briana there too?” she asked.

Aaron hummed in affirmation and then added, “If you have time, you should come over.”

His words immediately reminded her of the time he had jokingly told her to be ready to perform emergency resuscitation. Given her grandparents‘ age, they might not be able to handle this situation well. Being there in person to monitor things seemed like the best course of action.

Lena rushed to the Ace family’s old home, where everyone was gathered: her grandparents, her parents, and even her father, Gabriel. Her parents sat on either side of her grandparents, likely to ensure nothing drastic happened.
