After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

In the blink of an eye, Aveline had been in the hospital for half a month. She could now walk but had to take it slow. Her fractured leg needed time to heal properly.

That day, as she was practicing walking, with Selena by her side, the door to the hospital room suddenly opened.

Both women looked up to see Judy entering the room.

Selena's brows furrowed. "What are you doing here?"

Judy was dressed in the latest luxury fashion, her long, curled hair cascading over her shoulders, her makeup perfectly applied. She glanced at Aveline, who was wearing a hospital gown and looked pale and weak, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"I'm here to check on Miss Young."

Selena didn't hold back. "We don't want you here. You can leave."

Lately, rumors of an impending marriage between the Tudor and Thompson families had been spreading like wildfire. Though nothing substantial had come of it, gossip like this had a way of becoming accepted as truth over time.

And considering that Lucas and Aveline were still married, hearing such rumors everywhere was more than just annoying.

Judy shot Selena an irritated glance before turning her attention to Aveline. "How's your recovery going, Miss Young?"

Sweat beaded on Aveline's forehead as she pushed herself to sit back down on the bed. After taking a sip of water, she replied, "Just as you see. Do you have something to say, Miss Thompson?" Judy smiled and said, "I told you, I'm here to check on you. And to give you an invitation-Lucas and I are getting engaged."
