[Honey, don’t worry. Everything’s fine. The surgery went well, but he’ll need some time to recover.]

Kaia quickly replied: [Good to hear. Find an empty room and get some rest.]

Just as she finished, Lucien’s call came through. His deep, reassuring voice instantly soothed Kaia.

“It’s already two o’clock. Why aren’t you asleep? Don’t you have work tomorrow?”

Kaia shook her head, even though he couldn’t see her.

“I’ll ask for leave in the morning. I can’t sleep without you here.

“Allen doesn’t seem to be in great shape either. You can message Dylan later to check on him. I told him to keep an eye on Allen earlier, so if he wakes up, he’ll feel more at ease.”

Lucien smiled, his voice warm through the phone. “I got it. You really should sleep, honey. Don’t hang up, though. I’ll stay on the line until you fall asleep.”

Kaia had never tried this whole phone–sleep thing before. It felt strange but comforting.

She turned on the speaker and placed the phone on the

nightstand, her voice soft. “Honey, I’m going to sleep now. You should rest too. Good night.”

“Nighty–night,” Lucien replied.

Fifteen minutes later, Lucien heard Kaia’s soft, steady breathing.

She was fast asleep.

However, he didn’t hang up. Rubbing his temples, Lucien slumped back in the chair, eyes shut.

The doctor had said Zane would need time to recover after the surgery and might not wake up for a while. They wouldn’t even consider reducing the sedatives for another week.

Lucien was usually aloof, distant, keeping his emotions tightly in check–except when it came to Kaia.

But Zane was different.
