Aveline's eyelashes fluttered, but she remained silent.

Selena was stunned, having never imagined that Lucas had such a tragic past. She opened her mouth to say something but thought better of it and remained quiet.

Lucas was moved to a VIP room.

Aaron arranged for 24-hour care to be provided by a nurse.
