Kaia texted: [My mentor’s okay, Kayla. What did the production team do afterward?]

Kayla replied: [They just announced the shoot was postponed. But I heard from my agent that the director called Harry into his office for a long talk. When he came out, the poor guy looked like he’d been crying.]

[He doesn’t seem to handle stress well. If you’ve got a moment, maybe check in on him? I think he asked the director for your contact info.]

Kaia scrolled through her call log and, sure enough, there was a missed call from an unfamiliar number at the bottom.

Just as she was about to call back, Lucien stepped out of the hospital room.

She looked up. “Finished talking?”

“Yeah,” Lucien said. His voice was cooler than usual, and it made Kaia’s heart skip a beal.

She forced a smile. “Sorry. Everything happened so fast. I was about to call you back before you walked in.”

“No need to explain. I know everything,” Lucien said softly, his gaze dropping. “I’m not mad… I’m just a little heartbroken.”

His voice was husky, tinged with exhaustion and unmistakable grievance. “Next time, call me back first… okay, honey?”

Kaia swallowed hard. “Okay.”

“Lucien, you go ahead and head back. I’m going to stay a little longer with Jude. He doesn’t have many relatives in New York.”

From inside the room, Jude called out loudly, “Don’t make me sound like some pitiful old man!”

“Go check with the nurses‘ station,” he added. “They’ve got aides here. Just get me a smart one.”

Kaia protested, “A nursing aide won’t take care of you as well.”

Lucien stepped in, his tone gentle but firm.

“Mr. Halston, if you don’t mind, I’ll have my assistant arrange a professional caregiver. They’re trained in physical therapy. It’ll be better.”

“Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?” Jude asked, raising an

eyebrow.

Lucien smiled. “Not at all. Please don’t be so polite.”
