After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas)

Aveline felt a mix of emotions, but her smile grew even gentler. "Alright, I'll make you something nice." She stood up and left.

Back at Maple Garden, Selena immediately approached her, asking, "How did it go? Did you manage to get it done? Can you finally tell me what it was all about?"

Aveline sighed softly. "It didn't work out. In fact, a lot of things went wrong."

Selena was stunned. "What happened?"

Aveline briefly recounted the events on the road, not hiding the original plan of getting a divorce.

After hearing the whole story, Selena's eyes widened in surprise. "Seriously? How could all this happen? You were planning to get a divorce today, and then all these things just happened? Could it have been Lucas' doing?"

Aveline paused in her washing, realizing she hadn't considered that possibility.

But could he have orchestrated one accident, let alone two?

Besides, Annie clearly didn't know her, and she even had a fractured arm. Even if this was an act meant to delay her, there was no reason to go to such extremes.

So, Annie certainly wasn't someone Lucas had arranged.

Selena, rubbing her chin, speculated, "It's just a guess. Maybe it really was all just a coincidence. But from what you've said about that girl, it seems like her family has been draining her dry. Even in her condition, they're still thinking of ways for her to make money. Such heartless parents!"

Aveline nodded. "I never imagined there could be parents like that in this world."

She had once longed for her parents, but as she grew older, that desire faded. It only occasionally resurfaced in moments of seeing other families reunited.

Selena waved her hand dismissively. "Don't think too much about it. If parents are like that, then it's better not to have them at all."

Aveline smiled but didn't respond. If only things were that easy to resolve.

After preparing a nutritious, well-balanced meal, Aveline carried the lunch box to the hospital.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

When she pushed open the door to the ward, she saw Annie looking blankly at the headboard. Her thin, pale face was devoid of expression; it was hard to tell what she was thinking. "Awake?" Aveline asked softly.

Hearing her voice, Annie turned her head, and her eyes immediately brightened. "Aveline!"

Aveline smiled as she set up the small tray table and then adjusted the bed to a more comfortable position. She placed the lunchbox on the tray and opened it, letting a rich aroma waft through the air. Annie's eyes grew even brighter.

"Try my cooking and see if it suits your taste," Aveline said, sitting down beside her and holding a spoon to feed her.

Annie felt a bit awkward and embarrassed, taking a small bite. Her eyes sparkled even more.

"It's so delicious!" she couldn't help but exclaim.

She had never tasted food this good. At home, she only ever ate leftovers. The meat was always reserved for her brother, and it had been a long time since she had tasted anything like this. No, not even once!

Aveline laughed softly. "If you like it, eat more."

Annie's initial hesitation gradually faded, and she began to relax.

Meanwhile, news that Aveline had gone to the city hospital with a lunchbox quickly reached Lucas.

At that moment, Aaron was sitting

nearby, munching on an apple. Hearing the bodyguard's report, he clicked his tongue twice. "Four hundred thousand dollars down the drain, and after a month, she won't even look at you again. Tsk tsk, you really messed up this time."
