Seeing that Cordy wasn’t reacting for a long while, the girl asked awkwardly, "You don't remember me?"Cordy wondered if she could say no. Nonetheless, the girl flashed an innocent smile and introduced herself. "Well, it makes sense that you'd forget since you're so beautiful, while I'm so plain. We met just yesterday outside that store. We were both waiting for someone."Cordy smiled, feeling that it would be impolite if she still stayed distant. "Yeah, I remember.""Really?" The girl was beaming. "I'm so glad that a beauty like you would remember me!"Cordy smiled faintly in turn, and glanced at Lucas, who stood by the girl and stared at her.Was he worried she misspoke? But he had nothing to worry about—she loathed him, but she wouldn’t sink that low. "You think my boyfriend looks just like your son, right?" the girl asked excitedly.Cordy blinked.She was just glancing at Lucas once, yet the girl noticed?Still, she had to admit that the girl was very tactful—she was

Unable to stand the sight, Cordy strode out of the planetarium to wait.It was a huge science center, and each section had many stalls for snacks and merchandise.Cordy soon grew bored from waiting, and headed outside a stall to pick a cone ice-cream.But while she waited, she was left breathing a deep sigh as she realized there was no shaking off certain people."I want some ice-cream.""No, you just had it last night. Your stomach would suffer if you had more," Lucas said sternly. "I hate you!""Be nice, and I'll take you to the amusement park later." Lucas was coaxing his girlfriend as if she was a child. One must admit that Lucas treated his girlfriend well, even if he was harsh towards everyone else.It was clear how protective Lucas was of her, too.Just as Cordy was about to leave with her ice-cream, the girl stopped her again. "Excuse me, pretty lady!"Cordy wanted to tell her that they had only met by chance, which made them strangers; and strangers didn’t have to

Thanks to Nana, the mood between the two families was good.Jesse turned towards Lucas just then. "Is this your boyfriend, Nana?"Lucas nodded respectfully. "Hello, Mr. Cranston. I'm Lucas Lynch.""What a fine young man you are!" Jesse said as he studied Lucas. "But why do you look so familiar?""Don't you think he resembles your great-grandson, sir?" Nana pointed out, turning towards Dicky.Jesse realized with a start, and exclaimed, "Why yes, they do!""It's just a strange coincidence," Lucas said humbly."Sean, is that your granddaughter?" Jean asked when she saw Cordy. "Oh, yes. She's been working at North City, so she doesn't come by often. Cordy? This is my sister," Jesse said. He beckoned Cordy to him and introduced them."Hello, Mrs. Lynd," Cordy greeted her politely."Oh, of course I know Cordy. Your career is really taking flight, and I often see you in the news!" Jean started to heap praise on her. "I didn't think you're family, even though I've always been saying

Nonetheless, Lucas composed himself and said, “It's nothing.”Nana didn’t ask any further. They continued their stroll in the back garden, flirting with each other as much as they could.Dicky was standing on the balcony of Cordy's room, watching with a tilted head as his daddy dated another woman.He turned to look at his mommy."What is it?" Cordy asked, sensing his gaze. "Nothing.""Don't dwell on it. I don't care at all since he's not your daddy," Cordy said, reading her son's mind."What if he was? Would you try to get him back?" Lucas blurted.Cordy's heart could stop right then.What if he was…Still, she said bluntly, "No, he's not."There was no chance, so there was no need to waste any time thinking about it.Dicky bit his little lips, suddenly feeling an impulse to perform another paternity test.Even if his mother was right—that they could live well without his daddy, he must find out the truth.That was his principle as a person. Thus, he made up his mind.

Cordy went upstairs again after getting another slice of cake. Just as she reached the second floor, however, a ruckus took place downstairs.Cordy hurried downstairs, presuming that the Lynds were leaving and that she should see them off as well as a gesture of respect. At least, until she heard, "Help! Somebody! Nana's in trouble!"Cordy's heart skipped a beat—what happened to Nana?In that instant, she quickly strode downstairs. Just as she did so, Lucas entered from the living room, shoving his way through the crowd and cradling Nana's breathless frame in her arms.Her cheeks were flushed and her breathing rushed—she looked like she could catch something terrible and die at an instant!Cordy wondered if there really was something wrong with Nana's health, since even Jesse had been especially concerned about it; as was Lucas. She appeared very concerned, completely oblivious that she had something to do with Nana's sudden condition.Lucas cried, "Get an ambulance right now!"
