After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 645

Inside the hospital room, Aveline paid no further attention to Lucas. She simply lay down and closed her eyes, shutting him out.

Lucas stared at her for a long moment before finally speaking. "Aveline, you’re the one insisting on this divorce. If something happens to me because of it, I’ll hold you responsible."

Aveline opened her eyes and looked at him, thinking he was being ridiculous. "What are you talking about? If you just divorce me quietly, what could possibly go wrong?"

Lucas replied flatly, "Because I don’t want to."

Aveline was speechless. So, if something went wrong after she pushed for the divorce, he would just blame her for it? This man was as unreasonable as ever.

...

In the days that followed, Sidney visited Aveline every day, always bringing snacks or fruit. Another week passed, and the news was filled with reports that DK Group was facing severe financial difficulties, with large numbers of employees leaving the company—a clear sign of impending bankruptcy.

The Tudor Group’s relentless pressure on DK Group had reached a fever pitch as if they wouldn’t stop until the company was utterly destroyed. This didn’t resemble a typical father-son conflict.

"Aveline."

Sidney’s voice interrupted her thoughts as he walked in, carrying a bowl of yogurt and fruit salad he had prepared himself. "Try this; it’s really good."

He placed the bowl in front of her.

Aveline smiled wryly. "If I keep eating like this, I might actually become a bit chubby by the time I’m discharged."

Sidney chuckled softly. "A little weight would suit you."

Aveline shook her head with mock horror. "No way, I don’t want to get fat."

His eyes twinkled with amusement. "Don’t worry, it’s just fruit—it won’t make you gain weight."

Unable to refuse, Aveline accepted the bowl.

Noticing her attention on the news, Sidney asked, "Are you keeping up with what’s happening to DK Group?"

Aveline replied, "Not really. The TV was on, and it was just being reported."
