Bryce’s soft gaze fell on Serena. “Rena, this is on me. I owe you an apology.”

A pang of guilt flitted across Serena’s chest. “Old Mr. Levine…”

But it lasted only for an instant.

Her thoughts quickly shifted to her grandma still in the hospital, and her expression darkened. “I’m sorry, I have to go back. My grandma suffered a sudden stroke last night. I need to get to her.”

Bryce blinked in disbelief. “A stroke? But she seemed fine. How could that happen?”

Serena let out a quiet, bitter laugh. “I’m not sure. It happened after Amber visited her.”

The words hung in the air, and everyone nearby reacted with subtle shifts in expression.

Bryce’s sharp eyes narrowed, glinting with concern.

His adopted granddaughter was stirring trouble once again.

“Alright,” he said finally. “Go. I’ll visit her tomorrow.”

“Are you going to drive, Mr. Sebastian?” she asked.

His hand, cool against her skin, brushed over her stomach through the thin fabric. The touch was fleeting, but it made Serena hold her breath and freeze completely.

“I can drive,” he said, “but you need to buckle up first.”

Nervous, she shifted slightly and accidentally tugged at her bandage.

“Does it hurt?” Sebastian asked, his gaze fixed on it.

“A little,” she admitted, lowering her chin.

A little discomfort was bearable. But her grandma–if something happened to her, Serena wasn’t sure how she’d cope.

Sebastian’s expression tightened. “Stop wearing off–shoulder clothes. You’re still recovering. Keep yourself warm.”

He realized how fatherly he sounded as soon as the words left his mouth.

Studying her face, he added carefully, “With a fracture, you need to stay protected from the cold.”
