After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 671

Lucas looked at Aveline. "Can you run?"

"I can." Aveline nodded.

Lucas tightened his grip on her hand and glanced up at the precarious beams above. His eyes filled with cold determination as he commanded, "Run!"

They sprinted towards the exit together!

The flames licked at their clothes, but they ignored it, focusing solely on the escape route ahead.

“Crack...”

Suddenly, the sound of wood splintering echoed above them.

Aveline’s heart clenched, but before she could react, Lucas shoved her forward forcefully.

“Crash!”

The sound of something heavy collapsing followed, momentarily smothering the flames.

Aveline’s face turned pale as she spun around, only to see Lucas trapped beneath a fallen beam!

The fire had already started to consume him.

"Lucas!" Aveline screamed, rushing back towards him.

Seeing Lucas pinned beneath the beam, her heart shattered. The emotional walls she had built crumbled, and tears streamed down her face.

"Go, run!" Lucas shouted at her as she approached.

But as he spoke, a sharp pain tore through his chest—likely a broken rib from the impact. The searing pain from the flames on his body intensified, making it harder to move.

Just then, the bodyguards rushed in, working together to lift the beam off him. As soon as the weight lifted from his body, Lucas felt a fleeting sense of relief before darkness overtook him.

In his final moments of consciousness, he felt someone gently cradle his face. The touch was warm, and he wanted to hold on, but he had no strength left.
