After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 902

"Oh?" Maria's face showed a faint smirk as she looked at Sidney's cold expression. With a curious tone, she asked, "How exactly do you plan to make me regret it?”

Sidney tightened his grip on her wrist, his eyes locking onto hers as he said, "You care a lot about Lucas, don’t you?"

"What do you mean by that?" Maria looked at him with genuine curiosity.

She really wanted to know—what else could he do?

But instead of answering, Sidney loosened his hold on her wrist.

Without further explanation, he simply said, "Take care. I won’t be seeing you out."

With that, he turned and headed back to the hospital room.

Maria watched his retreating figure, the interest in her eyes deepening.

What did he mean by that?

...

Back in the hospital room, Ruth glanced at Sidney’s expression and suddenly asked, "So, tell me, why did you quit your job?"

Not wanting to worry his mother, Sidney didn’t explain the complicated matters and instead came up with a quick excuse. "I want to focus on my studies. The work at the studio was too intense, and I couldn’t concentrate."

Ruth gave him a skeptical look. "Is that really the reason?"

Sidney countered, "What else would it be? What do you think happened?"

Ruth couldn’t figure it out, but she still felt suspicious.

However, seeing Sidney’s reluctance, she chose not to press further and instead asked, "Why haven’t we seen Miss Young lately? What has she been up to?"

"She found her family and has settled in Larbor City now," Sidney replied.

"Really? That’s wonderful," Ruth said, breaking into a warm smile.

She genuinely liked Aveline, and the news that Aveline had found her family made her truly happy.

With a slight sigh, Ruth added, "Miss Young is such a good girl. It’s just a pity that things didn’t work out between the two of you. I blame my own poor health for holding you back. If it weren’t for me, you could have..."

"Mom," Sidney interrupted her. "Stop overthinking. I’m still young, there’s no rush."

Ruth knew he didn’t like hearing such things, so she didn’t continue the conversation.
