After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Inside the hospital room, Aveline paid no further attention to Lucas. She simply lay down and closed her eyes, shutting him out.

Lucas stared at her for a long moment before finally speaking. "Aveline, you're the one insisting on this divorce. If something happens to me because of it, I'll hold you responsible."

Aveline opened her eyes and looked at him, thinking he was being ridiculous. "What are you talking about? If you just divorce me quietly, what could possibly go wrong?" Lucas replied flatly, "Because I don't want to."

Aveline was speechless. So, if something went wrong after she pushed for the divorce, he would just blame her for it? This man was as unreasonable as ever.

Sidney's voice interrupted her thoughts as he walked in, carrying a bowl of yogurt and fruit salad he had prepared himself. "Try this; it's really good."

He placed the bowl in front of her.

Aveline smiled wryly. "If I keep eating like this, I might actually become a bit chubby by the time I'm discharged."

Sidney chuckled softly. "A little weight would suit you."
