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.

Instead, she focused on Aveline, knowing that whatever decision needed to be made would ultimately be up to her.

Aveline stood up as well, but as she did, her body wobbled slightly. Selena quickly steadied her, preventing her from falling.

Lucas was moved to a VIP room.
