Chapter 19
Lucas stared at her for a long moment before he sat back down. ” I was thinking about it, but seeing you like this, bullying an injured person isn’t my style.”
Aveline tugged at the corners of her lips. “Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Tudor.”
A fake gratitude.
A fake conversation.

It felt like a transparent wall had sprung up between them. They could see and touch each other, but the connection they once had was gone.
It had all changed since he had initiated the divorce.
Lucas felt inexplicably irritable. He reached up and loosened his collar. “Take a few days to rest. Let someone else handle the project for now.”
Aveline asked, “Does this count as a workplace injury?”
Lucas looked at her but said nothing.
Aveline continued, “Workplace injuries require compensation, right? I don’t mind getting a few tens of thousands. You know my account number, just transfer it directly.”
Lucas didn’t reply to her remarks.
Had this woman become money–obsessed since she asked for a divorce?
First, she wanted a 300–square–meter apartment and two million dollars, and now she was requesting about tens of

thousands?
Lucas replied coldly, “You’ve found a great way to get rich.”
Aveline’s smile faded. “If I’d known divorcing you would get me this much money, I would have signed the papers long ago.”
Lucas’s face darkened immediately.
Just then, the door to the hospital room opened, and Sophia stood in the doorway, her face wearing a gentle smile. “Lucas, I’m done with my check–up. Shall we go?”
Lucas stood up and walked over. “Didn’t I tell you to wait for me?
Sophia replied, “I wanted to check on Miss Young. Is she alright?
“Yes, she’s fine,” Lucas said.
Aveline interjected, “Please leave, both of you. I need to rest.”
She was really a fool to think that Lucas cared for her.
She had thought he was with her the whole time, but it turned out he was accompanying Sophia for her check–up.
It felt like a gaping wound had opened in her heart, allowing a cold wind to blow in, bringing pain and chill.
Sophía anxiously said, “Miss Young, don’t misunderstand, actually…”
“I said get out!”
