After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 471

Chapter 471 

Barbara threatened with her life, causing Lucas‘ expression to darken immediately. 

Sophia stepped forward, crying, “Grandma, please don’t say that. Nothing is more important than your health. Let’s get you checked first, okay?” 

Barbara looked at her with relief. “Sophia, you’re truly a good girl. The Tudor family owes you so much. If I don’t do something about it, I won’t rest in peace even in death.” 

Sophia cried uncontrollably. 

The situation became tense. Lucas remained silent, and Barbara’s condition worsened, her eyes fixed on him, waiting for his decision. 

Aveline walked over and said to Lucas, “Let’s get the divorce first. Grandma’s health is more important.” 

Barbara looked at Lucas eagerly. 

Lucas turned sharply towards Aveline, a bitter smile on his lips. “Are you satisfied with the outcome now?” 

Aveline pressed her lips together and said, “But Grandma’s health is more important.” 

Lucas nodded. “Fine, we’ll divorce.” 

Barbara suddenly relaxed and fainted on the bed. 

Doctors and nurses took Barbara away. 

Sophia wiped her tears and said to Lucas, “Lucas, don’t take Grandma’s words to heart. You love Aveline, and I won’t come between you two.” 

But Lucas didn’t look at her; he followed the doctors out of the room. 

No one could be certain of Barbara’s condition until the test results came back. 

Aveline followed, watching Lucas‘ cold back. She felt neither relieved nor particularly sad, just calm. This was how things were supposed to end between them.

For a brief moment, memories of the good times they had shared surfaced in her mind. 

But they could never go back. 

They would never go back. 

Barbara’s test results came back quickly. The emotional upheaval had caused her blood pressure to spike, leading to her fainting. She needed to rest and avoid any further stress. 

Lucas instructed the caregiver to take good care of Barbara. When he turned around, he saw Sophia still standing at the door. He wanted to warn her not to come again, but Barbara liked her so much now. 

Never mind. He would deal with Sophia after he found out the truth about what happened two years ago. 

Lucas left the hospital directly. 

Aveline followed him and asked, “When are we going to get the divorce?” 

Lucas looked at her. “You can’t wait, can you? Are you finally getting what you want? Ready to set off fireworks in celebration?” 

His eyes were full of mockery. 

Aveline frowned slightly. “That’s not what I mean. I just think that when Grandma wakes up, she’ll want to see our divorce certificate. If we don’t do it soon, what if she gets upset again?” 

Lucas‘ eyes grew dark as he stared at her for a while. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and pulled her close, asking in a deep voice, “Aveline, no matter what I do, is your heart never going to warm to me?” 

Aveline’s breath hitched. She lowered her eyes and didn’t answer. 

Lucas let out a cold laugh and released her. “We’ll do it tomorrow.”
