m taking you to the doctor,” he said.

Ayla blinked up at him. “I think if I just were to lay down, if you could help me…”

“No. No more just putting it off. You’ve been fainting more and more recently, along with these episodes of weakness. We’re getting you checked out.”

“We already know it’s my illness…”

“No arguments. We’re going,” Lucas said, leading her down the hall.

Within five minutes, he had her buckled up in his car and was pulling away from the estate. Ayla sat in the passenger side with her arms crossed. She sighed dramatically.

“You know how much I hate the doctor,” she said.

“You’re sick. You need to see him once in a while.”

Ayla turned to look at him. “The episode must have passed. We should just go home now. Or perhaps not waste this trip. You could take me to lunch–”

“Ayla.” Lucas looked at her from the side of his eye. She seemed fine now. Completely fine. But Lucas wasn’t going to take chances if her health was actually declinging.

Just like Elaine.

Lucas gritted his teeth and tried to shake away the thought but just couldn’t seem to. He couldn’t take care of Elaine, but he could take care of Ayla. It would have to do.

Once they reached the doctors office, Lucas guided Ayla inside. He walked straight up to the receptionist.

“We’re here to see Dr. Howard,” Lucas said.

“Do you have an appointment?” the woman asked.

“I am President Lucas. I think he can make time.” The tone in Lucas‘ voice left no room for argument. The woman swallowed thickly and nodded.

“Of course! Let me get a room set up and I’ll alert him right away,” she said, scrambling to stand up and vanished behind into the hallway.

“This is all so unnecessary,” Ayla said, placing a hand at her cheek. “I feel fine now.”
