Lokesh greeted Alok and Maya politely.
"Hello, Uncle. Hello, Aunty."
"Hello," Alok replied with a smile. "Why are you both here?"
Actually, we were planning to go watch a movie," Aashna said softly. "But then I heard you received a call from the hospital. I thought something might have happened to Grandma, and I felt it was important for me to be here. Lokesh was with me at that time, so he came along too."
She was clearly trying her best to strengthen her place in her parents' hearts.
Then, pretending to recall something, Aashna added casually,
"Mom, Dad… I think I saw Sister Nidhi a little while ago. She was coming out of the VIP elevator."
The moment Nidhi's name was mentioned, Lokesh looked shocked.
"Nidhi? But didn't she go back to live with her biological parents?"
