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 her eyes, she really did fall asleep.
She never could fall asleep before even if she closed her eyes or was really sleepy, and she thought it would be the same now.
Before, her brain seemed to go into overdrive once she closed her eyelids, and she just could not calm herself down enough.
