Chapter 29
Aveline looked away and turned to leave the nursing home.
HIS BONUS
“Lucas, thank you. I suddenly feel a lot of pain in my leg,” Sophia said, leaning on Lucas’s arm for support, frowning.
Lucas stared at her prosthetic leg and asked in a deep voice, “Do you need a wheelchair?”
Sophia shook her head with a smile. “No, this pain happens
every day. I just have to endure it. It’s a lingering issue from two years ago…”
Realizing what she had said, she quickly added, “Lucas, don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean anything by it, I just…”
“I’ll have someone take you home,” Lucas interrupted, guiding her outside.
Sophia lowered her gaze slightly. She had seen Aveline and
deliberately mentioned her leg pain to make Lucas support her. From Aveline’s perspective, it would look like Lucas was hugging her.
Though it was a misunderstanding, she felt she had to act. She needed Aveline to know she and Lucas were the true couple and that Aveline was just the third party.
She savored Lucas‘ warmth and walked slowly. Just then, Lucas’s phone rang. He looked at the screen, his expression darkening.
“Hello?”
Aveline’s voice came through. “I’m waiting for you at the lawyer’s office. Please come as soon as possible.”
With that, she hung up.
Her tone was exceptionally cold.
Lucas’s lips pressed into a thin line as he put his phone away.
Sophia saw that it was Aveline who had called. Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly let out a soft groan.
“What’s wrong?” Lucas asked.
Sophia’s face quickly turned pale. “I… my leg suddenly hurts so much, Lucas, why does it hurt so badly?”
She grabbed Lucas’s arm, tears streaming down her face.
Seeing this, Lucas scooped her up and quickly walked outside. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
He had agreed to come for the divorce, so why didn’t he show up?
