Lucinda found herself at a loss for words.

Cyrus’ eyes welled up with tears, and his heart ached, as if a sharp object had pierced it.

“Noelle, I understand now why you’ve been distant from me lately.

You believe I’m her husband, so you’ve been intentionally keeping your distance and ignoring me.

Noelle gazed at him, perplexed by his sadness.

To her, he was just a stranger.

She clung tightly to Lucinda’s hand, unwilling to let her go.

Lucinda sighed in resignation.

“Cyrus, how about this? You go get Aldric, and I’ll stay with her.

“Okay.

He dropped his head, turned, and left.

Immediately he left, Noelle drew near to Lucinda, her expression filled with concern.

“Lucinda, Mr.

Roberts seems so fond of me, but don’t worry, I won’t develop any feelings for him.

I appreciate your care and assistance during this time.

Lucinda was stunned.

She managed a small, reassuring smile.

Since Aldric had yet to arrive, she decided to comfort Noelle first.

“It’s alright, Noelle.

We’re friends.

A few minutes later, Aldric walked into the room.

Wearing a medical mask, he said to Noelle before Lucinda and Cyrus, “There’s no need to be scared.

I’m your doctor, and I need to ask you some questions.

Just answer truthfully.

Noelle looked at Lucinda uncomfortably, who gave her a reassuring smile.

She then gave Aldric a nod.

Aldric pulled out the patient’s file and wrote, “Miss Shaw, could you kindly…”

Noelle stopped him with a serious tone.

“Doctor, my last name is Moran.

“Alright, Miss Moran.

” He smiled, calmly gestured towards Lucinda and asked, “Who is she?”

“Lucinda, my one and only friend.

Logan adopted her when she was fifteen, but we’ve kept in touch over the past few years, and we’re quite close.

Aldric inquired, “How old is she?”

Noelle pondered for a moment and replied, “Twenty years old.

Lucinda and Cyrus both showed concerned expressions simultaneously.

Lucinda had recently turned twenty-four after giving birth.

Aldric noted Noelle’s response and continued, “And how old are you?”
