After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 282

Chapter 282 

Sophia said weakly, “Put me down, I’m fine.” 

Desmond insisted, “Let me carry you. We’ll get to the hospital quicker that way. Miss Winter, we can’t risk making your leg worse.” 

Sophia pressed her lips together and remained silent. 

Lucas glanced at Desmond, a faint trace of approval in his eyes. 

At the hospital, the doctor examined Sophia’s leg and then said, There’s nothing wrong.” 

Sophia’s face was pale. “Then why does it hurt so much?” 

The doctor replied, “It could be a nerve issue. Would you like to have it checked in the neurology department?” 

Lucas said, “Let’s check everything.” 

“Alright.” 

The doctor immediately made the arrangements. 

Sophia glanced at Lucas. “I apologize for causing you concern again. My leg always hurts, but I still haven’t gotten used to it.” 

She stared at her prosthetic leg, a hint of desolation on her face. She was reminding Lucas that she lost her leg because of him. No matter what, he would always owe her. 

Lucas asked, “Considering how often it hurts, have you undergone a thorough examination to find out the cause?” 

Sophia’s lips curved into a sad smile. “I’ve had it checked out, but they couldn’t find anything wrong. Maybe it’s all in my head. Every time it acts up, I relive the accident in my dreams. The feeling of that car crushing my leg–I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forget it.” 

Lucas stood nearby, his voice unnervingly calm. “Yeah, I remember too. The impact threw me off the car.“” 

Sophia’s fingers curled instinctively her mind racing. 

What was he playing at? 

Before, whenever she mentioned her leg, he would show concern. But 

now, he was so calm, even talking about the detalls of that day. She didn’t want to hear this!. 

Lucas said, “I think you need a psychologist. You should talk to someone who might help alleviate your syn oms.” 

He sent Sophia a contact number. 

Sophia nodded. “Alright, I understand. I’ll visit a psychologist.” 

Lucas acknowledged with a nod. “Get some rest.” 

Sophia forced a smile and nodded. Lucas then stood up and left. Shortly after, a caregiver, arranged by Lucas, came in. 

But this wasn’t what she wanted at all! 

Sophia clenched the bedsheet tightly, her eyes filled with resentment. 

Leaving the hospital, Desmond said, “We found Miss Young. She’s staying in a rundown motel.”
