At this point, Cordy had to blame it on a grudge from a past life
However, Nana's seemingly innocent gaze was still fixed on Cordy. "But it feels to me that he cares a lot about you—he was so worried when he saw your blood being drained into the IV bottle. He only snapped at you because he thinks you're refusing to take care of yourself, and it's out of concern… What should I do? I think I'm getting jealous."
"You're kidding," Cordy said naturally. "Lucas is just overreacting like anyone would during a crisis. I would call for the medical staff if I were in the same situation as well, and as for his temper… don't you think that he really doesn't like me at all, and he's always finding an excuse to vent at me?"
"But Lucas isn't like that. He wouldn't do that to the others."
"That's what I've been saying. We rub each other the wrong way," Cordy said in disdain—she was still feeling frustrated and stressed even as she recalled how Lucas flipped out at her.
"Don't tell me… you've fallen for him?" Nana suddenly asked very nervously.
"Nope," Cordy answered confidently.
"I'm so scared that you will," Nana murmured miserably. "I really love him, and I'm so afraid of losing him—"
"I don't like him," Cordy snapped, cutting her short.
Nana, however, stubbornly continued, "But you're so beautiful. My grandmother told me so much about you, that you're talented and extraordinary… I'm so scared that Lucas would fall for you…"
"No, he wouldn't."
"But the way he treats you is special…"
