After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Lucas overheard the conversation, and his steps visibly slowed.

Aaron gave Lance a thumbs up and then joined the group heading to the hospital.

By the time they arrived, the burn on Lucas' forehead had already formed a small blister. The doctor treated it briefly and said there was nothing serious, and they were free to leave.

It wasn't a big deal, but Aveline had insisted on coming to the hospital to make sure.

As they exited the hospital, Selena clung to Aveline's arm, hesitating to speak several times.

Aveline glanced at her. "If you have something to say, just say it."

Selena looked back at the men following them, then tugged Aveline ahead a few steps until they were a good distance away.
