Chapter 144

After leaving the hospital, Lucas called Aveline, but she quickly hung up on him.

His brows furrowed.

Their relationship had just begun to reach a delicate balance, but Sophia's sudden crisis had shattered it.

Lucas had never felt so agitated before. He tugged at his tie, trying to release the frustration tightening his chest. But it was all in vain.

Lucas replied, "Send it over."

Maria texted, "No."
