“I was just heading home after a business dinner when Chris misread the GPS and took a wrong turn. I gave him a bit of a scolding, and I 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 come to 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.

his MRI.

Lucien greeted her with a grave expression.

“Luna, I was worried about him, so I called you. I know he might find me hovering a bit much, so I’d feel better if you stayed with him. Let me know when the results come in, alright? Don’t leave me hanging.”

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.”
