Aaron looked puzzled. "What’s going on?"
Lucas frowned. "I don’t know. Just the smell of that food makes me want to vomit."
Aaron stroked his chin thoughtfully. "I’ll have someone prepare a meal and bring it over. Let’s see how you react to that."
Lucas didn’t refuse, just closed his eyes wearily.

At Maple Garden, Aveline and Selena finished lunch and then settled in the living room to play video games.
"Help me, please! I need backup!"
"Ah, we both died!"
"How is this jungle player so overpowered?"
Selena’s constant cries of frustration filled the room. Every time they lost a game, she’d collapse on the couch, only to bounce back with renewed determination when the next round started.
Aveline, on the other hand, remained calm and steady, her performance consistently average.
Just then, her phone rang. Since she was in the middle of a game, she put it on speaker and continued playing while answering.
"Hello?"
Aaron’s voice came through. "Aveline, I need a favor."
Selena immediately leaned in and teased, "You know, Aveline charges a hefty appearance fee. Can you afford it?"
Aaron snapped, "I’m talking to Aveline, not you. Be quiet."
Aveline chimed in, "Selena’s got a point."
Aaron paused for a moment before continuing, "Can you cook something and bring it to the hospital? I’ll pay whatever it costs."
Aveline focused on her game screen, surprised. "One thousand for a meal. Will you pay?"
Aaron gritted his teeth. "I’ll pay!"
"Alright," Aveline agreed.
One thousand for a meal—she couldn’t pass that up! Especially since it was coming out of Lucas’ pocket.
