After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 926

A few days later, Sidney received a call from his mother.

"Hello, Mom? What’s wrong?" Sidney asked, stepping out of a restaurant where he had just finished a meeting with a client.

Ruth’s voice sounded concerned. "I’m not feeling well. You should come over right away."

Hearing this, Sidney immediately grew anxious.

Flagging down a cab, he asked, "What’s wrong? Have you called a doctor?"

Ruth brushed it off. "Oh, I don’t want to explain everything over the phone. Just come quickly."

Before he could ask more, she hung up.

Sidney’s expression tightened with worry as he leaned forward and said to the driver, "Sir, please hurry."

Twenty minutes later, he arrived at the hospital. He rushed into the hospital room, only to find his mother sitting on the bed, laughing and chatting with a young woman.

There was no sign of her being unwell.

Sidney froze for a moment, his concern still evident, as he rushed over to her.

"Mom, where are you feeling unwell?" he asked, quickly scanning her for any signs of illness and reaching for the call button.

Slap!

Ruth slapped his hand away and said, "I’m fine!"

Sidney stopped, finally noticing how healthy and lively she looked. Her face was full of color, and her spirits seemed high—nothing like someone who was unwell. His brows immediately furrowed as he said, "If you’re fine, why did you tell me you weren’t? Do you know how worried I was?"

"I know, I know. I was wrong, I won’t do it again," Ruth replied, nodding quickly but with a tone that made it clear she wasn’t all that sorry.

She swiftly changed the subject, "Anyway, Sidney, let me introduce you to someone. This is Diana White, the niece of Jackie. She’s one year younger than you and studied architectural design in college, just like you. I’m sure you two will have plenty to talk about."
