Selena snapped, "Lucas, can you leave? Can't you see no one here wants you around?"

But Lucas ignored her, sitting on the sofa with his laptop. He wore a crisp white shirt, the top button undone, with no tie. His sharp, handsome face remained cold, his brows stern and intense. His long lashes cast shadows over his eyes, hiding the icy chill within them. His fingers tapped away at the keyboard with unwavering focus.

Selena rolled her eyes, then turned to Aveline, handing her a glass of water. "He's absolutely shameless."

Aveline said quietly, "You should go home. The nurse can take care of me."

Selena shook her head. "No way, I'm staying here with you."

After a week, Aveline's condition had improved considerably, though she still needed to be cautious and limit her movements. Healing bones took time, and she had a long road to recovery. Just then, the door opened, and Aaron walked in.

"You look a lot better today than you did yesterday," Aaron remarked as he approached.

Aveline's expression remained neutral. "What brings you here, Mr. Fletcher?"

Aaron nodded and pointed to Selena. "I'm here to see her."

Selena frowned. "There's nothing to discuss between us."

Aaron raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure about that? Do I need to spell it out?"

Selena hesitated, then glanced at Aveline. "I'll step out for a bit, Ave. I'll be right back."

Aveline nodded. "Alright."
