Upon learning of Nala's illness from Alexander, Lena rushed to the hospital in great distress. She repeatedly called Elijah along the way, wanting to ask him why he hadn't informed her about Nala's condition and why he had kept it a secret. Additionally, she wanted to know what illness Nala was suffering from.

However, Elijah did not answer her calls, and Lena's attempt to reach Kasey yielded the same result.

Lena's eyes dimmed.
