After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 599

Lucas scanned the information briefly before saying, "Make it clear—any hospital that accepts his mother will be considered an enemy of the Tudor family."

"Understood!" Desmond nodded and left the office.

Lucas picked up his phone again, glaring at the image that had irritated him earlier. A cold, disdainful glint flashed in his dark eyes.

Later that afternoon, Sidney received a frantic call from the caregiver.

"Sidney, what do we do? Your mother’s been kicked out of the hospital! They said the medical bills have gone unpaid for too long, and they won’t take her back."

Sidney shot up from his seat. "Where are you now?"

"We’re at the hospital entrance. Your mother’s passed out, but no one’s coming to help her. Sidney, what should we do?"

Panic overtook Sidney as he quickly left the studio.

As he rushed out, he nearly collided with Aveline. She stepped back and asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Sorry, something’s happened at home. I need to go," Sidney said, his face full of anxiety.

"Do you need help?" Aveline offered.

"No, it's fine," Sidney replied curtly before hurrying off.

Aveline picked up the scattered documents from the floor and returned to her desk. She couldn’t help but press her lips together in thought, still troubled by the bruises on Sidney’s face.

“What is Lucas’ problem with Sidney, anyway?” she wondered, letting out a small sigh as she resumed her work.

As evening fell, Aveline was about to clock out when her phone rang. It was Selena.

"Hey," Aveline answered.

Selena’s voice was full of curiosity. "What’s going on? Weren’t we supposed to have dinner tonight? It’s already this late—don’t tell me you two went ahead without me!"

Aveline stepped out of the elevator and sighed. "He had an emergency at home, so we had to cancel."
