After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 672

Aveline’s eyelashes fluttered, but she remained silent.

Selena was stunned, having never imagined that Lucas had such a tragic past. She opened her mouth to say something but thought better of it and remained quiet.

Instead, she focused on Aveline, knowing that whatever decision needed to be made would ultimately be up to her.

The room fell into a quiet stillness.

After what felt like an eternity, the doors to the emergency room finally opened, and Lucas was wheeled out.

Aaron stepped forward and asked, "How is he?"

Aveline stood up as well, but as she did, her body wobbled slightly. Selena quickly steadied her, preventing her from falling.

The doctor replied, "He has two broken ribs but no other major injuries. He just needs time to recover."

Lucas was moved to a VIP room.

Aaron arranged for 24-hour care to be provided by a nurse.

Standing by the bedside, Aveline gazed at the still-unconscious Lucas for a long moment before reaching out and gently poking his face.

"Lucas, does it hurt?" she asked in a voice so soft it was barely audible.

Selena felt a pang of sorrow in her chest. She blinked quickly to keep tears at bay and said, "Ave, he’s going to be fine. Why don’t you go home and freshen up? You’ll feel better afterward, okay?"

"Okay," Aveline finally agreed, nodding.

Aaron watched her, wanting to say something, but hesitated.

Without looking back, Aveline left with Selena.

Shortly after they departed, Lucas began to stir. He opened his eyes, immediately searching for Aveline, but saw only Aaron in the room.

"Where is she..." he asked weakly.

Aaron scoffed, "At the state you’re in, you’re still thinking about her? She’s already gone home."

Lucas closed his eyes, his breathing heavy under the oxygen mask. "She wasn’t hurt, was she?"
