Lena was pretty healthy to start with. While she hadn’t fully recovered, she didn’t need his constant help anymore. He understood why she wanted to go back to Centrolis.

She wasn’t one to ignore things. She would want to investigate thoroughly because she thought Kaitlyn was planning something. Plus, Kaitlyn might be a danger to the Thompsons.
