After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 495

Chapter 495 

The sunlight streamed in at an angle, casting a soft glow on the hospital room’s white walls. Barbara sat on the hospital bed while Sophia sat beside her, feeding her fruit. 

Aveline stood at a respectful distance and greeted, “Madam Barbara.” 

Barbara didn’t even glance at her. Instead, she said to Sophia, “It’s a good time now, how about you take me for a walk?” 

Sophia nodded. “Alright.” 

She and the nurse helped Barbara from the bed into a wheelchair, and then pushed her out of the room. As they passed Aveline, Sophia glanced at her with a cold smirk. 

Aveline frowned slightly and turned to follow, but a bodyguard at the door stopped her. 

“Madam Barbara instructed you to wait here.” 

Aveline’s heart sank with a sense of foreboding. She stepped back a couple of paces, and as the door closed, she pulled out her phone to contact someone, only to find there was no signal. The room was equipped with a signal jammer! 

Her expression darkened immediately. What was Barbara up to? Why was she being kept here? Aveline couldn’t understand. 

With the bodyguard preventing her from leaving, she had no choice but to stay and wait. She sat on the sofa, watching the minutes tick by as the sun set, and Barbara did not return. 

Rising to her feet, Aveline moved to the window and looked out at the bustling city below. The floor was too high for her to jump. 

Returning to the door, she tried to leave again, but the bodyguard still blocked her way. 

She asked, “Where did Madam Barbara go?” 

The bodyguard replied, “I don’t know.” 

Aveline persisted, “Can you at least take me to find her?” 

The bodyguard remained silent and did not budge his stance firm. 

Aveline’s expression grew even more grim. These bodyguards weren’t Lucas‘ men, so she didn’t dare to act rashly, Feeling helpless, she returned to the sofa to continue waiting. When she got tired, she lay down on the hospital bed to sleep. The environment was decent, thought she was starting to feel hungry. 

Selena arrived at Maple Garden, and entered the apartment after inputting the code, but didn’t 

see Aveline. There were no shoes at the door either.

“Huh? Not back yet?” Selena was puzzled and took out her phone to call Aveline. The call couldn’t get through. 

What was going on? 

Selena’s brows furrowed as she recalled Aveline’s previous troubles, her face turning pale. 

She immediately left to check Aveline’s workplace. 

However, everyone there had already left for the day! 

Aveline was missing! 

Selena was growing frantic when a car slowly pulled up beside her. 

Russell’s strikingly handsome face appeared, and he asked, “Selena, what are you doing here?
