After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 631

Aveline smiled slightly and asked, "Mr. Cooper, you're not from Cloudflare City, are you?"

Gernard looked at her in surprise. "How did you know?"

"You don't quite have the local accent," Aveline replied.

Gernard nodded. "You're right. I'm from Larbor City, here on business."

He studied her face for a moment, then suddenly added, "Just so you know, I’m not trying to flirt, but Miss Young, every time I see you, I feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity."

Aveline chuckled softly. "Do I remind you of a long-lost sister?"

Gernard paused, genuinely considering the possibility.

Aveline continued, "Mr. Gernard, if you have other matters to attend to, please don't let me keep you. Now that I'm awake, I'll be fine."

Gernard couldn't come up with an answer because his long-lost sister had already been found.

"Alright, if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me." Gernard nodded, leaving his card before standing up to leave.

The room returned to its quiet state.

Aveline closed her eyes, but the pain in her body was too overwhelming to let her relax.

As her mind began to wander, the door opened again.

Thinking Selena had returned, she said, "You're back so quickly?"

But there was no response.

Puzzled, she opened her eyes and saw Lucas standing by her bedside.

Her brows immediately furrowed.

She closed her eyes again, hoping to block him out.

Lucas observed her closely, not missing the coldness in her gaze. He pulled a chair over and sat down, remaining silent for a long while.

The atmosphere in the room grew tense.

Over the past three days, Lucas himself didn’t know how he had managed to get through it.

When he first heard that Aveline had been in a car accident and was in a coma, he was stunned, rushing to the hospital only to find her still in critical condition.

He had stayed by her side for those three days, constantly whispering in her ear, begging her to wake up.
