I don't see the problem with Anna avoiding Lucy until now.

Considering that the Heartphilie line exists, she must have left her own child(ren) behind in the past for this plan. That might sound cold-heartet, but it is to save mankind, so I'd call it justified. And part of that plan meant keeping her identity completely secret until the moment of truth arrived.

Also the two are at least 10 generations apart. That bond is so stretched they might as well not be related at all. I have barely any contact with a few of my cousins and they are a hell of a lot closer related to me than Anna and Lucy are.
