After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 648

"Sure." Aveline nodded, taking out her phone to add Gernard as a contact.

The caregiver had almost finished packing up, and Selena returned after completing the discharge procedures.

"Mr. Cooper, you’re here too," Selena said with a slight smile as she noticed him, then asked, "Would you like to join us for a walk?"

Gernard looked at Aveline. "Is that alright?"

Aveline smiled back. "Of course, you're always welcome at my place."

Gernard's smile deepened. "Then I'll take you up on that offer."

The group left the hospital together.

Upon arriving at Maple Garden, Gernard couldn't help but praise the place, "The environment here is lovely, much better than being stuck in the hospital."

Aveline nodded. "Yes, it is."

Back home, the caregiver familiarized herself with the surroundings, while Selena helped Aveline settle on the sofa.

Gernard stood on the balcony for a while before turning around and saying, "One caregiver might not be enough. How about this: I'll hire a cook for you as well, so you can focus on your recovery."

Aveline thought for a moment before replying, "I can hire one myself. There's no need to trouble you, Mr. Cooper."

But Gernard insisted, "No, I’ll handle it. You were injured because of me; it’s the least I can do."

He paused, feeling a bit helpless. "Anyone else would demand the person responsible for the accident take care of everything. Why are you refusing?"

Selena, standing nearby, chimed in, "Because she’s someone who avoids trouble. Doing that would be a hassle for her."

Gernard chuckled. "I see."

Aveline shrugged. "I prefer to keep things simple."

Gernard fixed his gaze on her. "But the more you want simplicity, the more you're pulled into complicated situations."
