After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 887

Well, that was the past.

She came back, and that's all that matters.

At the very least, they were in the same place now.

They could sort things out after Lucas woke up.

...

Aveline refused to leave, choosing to stay at the hospital to wait for Lucas to wake up.

Selena had no choice but to stay with her, worried for Aveline, especially since she was still pregnant.

The next day, Gernard arrived to find Aveline carefully and gently wiping Lucas down, her expression soft and patient.

"Sis, give our family a call. It’s New Year after all," Gernard said.

"Okay." Aveline nodded but continued tending to Lucas until she was done. Only then did she grab her phone, sit on the couch, and open the family group chat for a video call.

It connected quickly, and Wilfried appeared on screen, wearing his glasses.

"Happy New Year, Dad!" Aveline greeted with a smile.

Wilfried grinned back. "Happy New Year, sweetheart. How’s Lucas doing?"

"He’s out of the critical phase. Once he wakes up, he should be fine."

Wilfried nodded. "That’s good to hear. Make sure you’re taking care of yourself, okay? Don’t overdo it."

"I will, Dad," Aveline reassured him.

Gavin also chimed in with a few words of advice, followed by the rest of the family, each offering their support.

After all, Aveline was the apple of the Tudor family’s eye now.

Her voice was so soft as if the slightest breeze could carry it away.

Then, unexpectedly, a raspy voice responded, weak but clear. "Did you prepare a New Year gift?”

Aveline spun around in shock, only to see Lucas, who had been in a coma moments ago, now awake, his eyes fixed on her.

She stood frozen for a moment before slowly stepping toward the bed. "You're awake?"

Lucas gave a faint smile, lifting his hand with difficulty to touch her face. "Yeah, I woke up. I heard what you said. I was afraid if I didn’t wake up soon, you’d leave me."

Aveline fought to control her emotions, quickly pressing the call button for the doctors.

The medical team rushed in, conducting a thorough examination. It wasn’t until late into the night that they confirmed Lucas was truly out of danger.

As soon as the news spread, Selena, Aaron, and Gernard arrived to see him.

Selena’s eyes reddened as she looked at Lucas' pale but still handsome face. "Lucas, you’re heartless! Everyone’s been worried sick about you, but you didn’t wake up for them. Yet the moment Aveline comes back, you open your eyes. Do you have no shame?"
