Cordy snapped, "I didn't ask for you!""What, did some jinx call me?!" Lucas shot back."That's an insult to an officer!" Cordy said sternly. Lucas pursed his lips, and said, "What, are you saying you didn't ask the officer to call me?""Nope."Lucas's voice was getting louder as he demanded, "Then, what?! Does he have my number or something?!""Yes! He remembered you from that bar fight!"Lucas was left stumped for a moment before then continued loudly and assuredly, "The cops wouldn't decide on that themselves. You put them up to it!""No, I called my assistant and asked him to help," Cordy explained while restraining herself. "But it turns out that he's on his honeymoon.""What, he didn't delegate his tasks when he works at a big company like yours? Who do you think you're fooling?!""Yes, he had a stand-in, but my phone ran out of juice by coincidence! They don't have a charger for my phone's model either, and do you think they could just get one this late at night? The

Cordy stood on the bleak street, feeling no disappointment at all.Lucas had every reason to leave her out here, but it was just a little awkward for her since her phone was out of juice.She had no way to call for help or a taxi, and she was standing on a street in the quiet outskirts of North City in the wee hours of the morning.There was no car in sight, let alone people.She did not even know where she was or where she should be going.She shuddered as a cool breeze billowed—it was really cold.She hugged herself, but just as she hesitated between leaving or waiting, a familiar car returned and stopped beside her.While Cordy frowned, the car window wound downward, revealing Lucas' smug face. "Get in!"To be honest, she was surprised that he turned around."Get in!" he snapped impatiently then—anyone who did not know better would be convinced that they had a blood feud. Still, Cordy gritted her teeth and got in.The night was dark and cold, and she had to prioritize pe

There was only silence during the journey until they arrived at Cordy's mansion.She had just alighted when the car sped off right then.She just wanted to offer a polite word of gratitude in return—even if it was a bumpy ride, there was no doubt that Lucas had bailed her out and brought her home.She was just about to turn and leave when she realized Lucas' coat was still on her.It was fine, since she could sleep better with his scent.Patients could not be choosers.-The next day, Zoe texted their chat group: [I wish I was dead. Anyone up yet?]Cordy, who was suffering from a head-splitting headache, replied: [Yeah.] She put a hand on her forehead and noticed that she was slightly feverish, so she made a mental note to take some cold medicine as she got out of bed.On the other hand, Zoe was already on the subway heading to the studio for their rehearsal early in the morning.She thought she could die just as she woke up. Still, she asked Quinn: [What about you? @Quin

"Cordy!" Nana appeared excited to see Cordy, perhaps surprised that she would run into her at the hospital.Cordy had wanted to get out of the elevator immediately and take the next one, but that plan failed."What a coincidence," she replied."It is!" Nana exclaimed chipperly. "What are you doing here?""Just a little cold.""You too?" Nana was surprised." Lucas too. He had a fever and a cold, and his temperature was 103 when I checked. He refused to come to the hospital despite that, and I had to force him to come here. See? His face is as red as a beetroot."Cordy turned toward Lucas, who quickly turned away.He was as proud as he always was, though his cheeks were ridiculously red.Cordy snickered since it was really funny, but he saw her reaction.Narrowing his eyes and returning her gaze, he snapped, "Do you think you're any better?! You're redder than me!"Cordy was left speechless—the man really could hold a grudge. "Why are you being so rude to Cordy?" Nana demande

Cordy felt like she never had a good day ever since she met Lucas.She caught cold twice when she never fell sick before, and she kept tripping over when she never fell…He really was a jinx."Cordy."Nana suddenly called out from the doorway.Cordy turned toward her and replied, "Nana.""I knew you'd be here. Lucas is having an IV infusion next door," Nana said as she walked up to her bed. "Are you okay alone? Should I keep you company?""I'm fine. You should stay with Lucas.""But your face looks so red," Nana said worriedly."It's normal for a fever. I'll be fine when my fever breaks.""Oh." Nana nodded and said eagerly, "I'll peel an apple for you.""You don't have to…""It's alright. Don't push me away now—we're cousins, remember?" Nana said earnestly. "My grandma always mentions you, saying how hard it was to bring you back to the family. She said we should be nicer to you since you've suffered a lot out on your own.""What about Lucas? Don't you have to stay with hi

Cordy coughed for a long while before she caught her breath, while Nana quickly explained, "I'm sorry, but I was just curious… I don't have many friends because of my health, and I'd like to know more about relationships between men and women. It's just—I think my relationship with Lucas is different from others.""It's fine. I just accidentally choked, it's nothing," Cordy told her."Then… Can I ask you about you and your boyfriend?" Nana asked."What do you want to ask?""Like… Have you had sex before?" Nana was embarrassed yet stubborn."No… Not yet.""But why?" Nana gasped in surprise. "I thought that's only me and Lucas… I googled about it, and it says that couples tend to do it after confirming their relationship, but Lucas seemed to have no intention of doing it. That's why I thought we had relationship issues, so I'm surprised you're the same.""I… I had some bad experiences before, and we just confirmed our relationship, so it's not time for us yet." Cordy came up with

As Nana happily left, Cordy's gaze darkened as she watched her leave.If she was not sure before if Nana had been probing her, she was now.Nana was clearly testing her, to see if there was anything fishy going on between her and Lucas. In fact, Nana deliberately mentioned that she never had sex with Lucas just to test if Cordy would react happily to that information. That in turn would compel Cordy to suggest that Lucas was abstaining because of Nana's health problems, which was a reminder to Cordy of how much Lucas cared about Nana, so that Cordy would not get any funny ideas.It was just as Cordy thought—Nana was not as simple as she seemed.However, it did not matter that much since she was just a distant relative. What Nana was really like was not something she had to worry about.Cordy just had to know that Nana was not as childishly naive as she appeared, and that was plenty enough.Cordy fidgeted in bed, actually feeling sleepy because of her fever.And as she closed h

Finally having had enough, Cordy yelled back at Lucas, "Did I ask you for anything?! Who told you to come?! I was sleeping here just fine, and I didn't need you to wake me, let alone yell at me! Even if I'm being negligent to my son, that's my own business. What right do you have to care?! You're not his father!""Cordy Sachs!" Lucas snarled through his teeth.Nonetheless, Cordy continued, "Don't stand there acting like you're being noble when you're just going to emotionally blackmail me! Who do you think you are?! Even if I die here, it has nothing to do with you! What you did was a violation of my personal privacy, and I can sue you for it!"Lucas was left absolutely livid, and glaring at Cordy with red eyes while feeling the impulse to strangle her for an instant. He had no idea why he would overreact to her. All he knew was that when he passed by, an unknown sense of terror struck him when he saw that her blood was being drained into the IV bag. He did not hesitate in that in
