The ambulance took a while to get there, and Aveline didn't dare move Lucas, afraid she might hurt him more. As his face grew paler from the blood loss, she felt more panicked than ever before.Fear completely enveloped her as she tightly held his uninjured hand. "Lu, you have to hang in there, you absolutely can't be..."She choked up, her vision blurring with tears. "If something really happens to you, I will definitely hate you, I promise I will!"She leaned down, pressing her face against his hand, feeling his warmth. "Lucas... you have to hang in there. You can't break my heart and then leave me like this. You just can't..."The ambulance finally arrived, and Aveline followed it to the hospital.At the entrance of the emergency room, she stood in a daze until the doors opened and a nurse came out."How... how is he?" Aveline asked anxiously.The nurse replied, "Who are you? Are you a relative?"Aveline responded, "I-I'm the family member of the injured person who was just brought
Lucas said, "If you don't get up soon, you might make my injury worse."Aveline hurriedly stood up and finally noticed his left arm was bandaged and in a sling, with gauze wrapped around his forehead. He looked rather amusing, and it seemed like he only had superficial injuries.Aveline let out a sigh of relief and then looked at him. "If you're okay, why didn't you say so earlier?"Lucas blinked innocently. "I woke up because of your crying."He had been unconscious, but his awareness gradually returned, and he heard her sobbing uncontrollably. At that moment, his heart ached deeply.He didn't disturb her, quietly watching her cry over a stranger's body as if she were pouring out her soul. Afraid she might hurt herself, he forced himself to get up and managed to catch her just as she was about to fall.Aveline was speechless.She quickly looked away and wiped her face.At that moment, a nurse walked in, seeing them standing face to face, and asked in confusion, "What are you two doing
By evening, the business partners in Larbor City had heard about Lucas' accident and came to visit him. Aveline observed quietly from the side, not saying a word.After everyone left, she closed the door and asked, "Earlier, you mentioned the brakes failed. Do you think it was intentional?"Lucas replied, "It's possible."Aveline frowned. "Who would do such a thing? What would they gain from it?"Lucas explained, "There are many benefits. It could be someone from Cloudflare City extending their reach here. If I were to die, there would be no one to inherit the Tudor family."Currently, Lucas was the sole heir to the Tudor family. If he died, there would be no one to carry on the family line, and others would likely tear the family apart to take their share. The vast wealth and resources of the Tudor family would be a significant gain for anyone involved.Aveline's expression grew more serious. After thinking for a moment, she walked to the bedside and said firmly, "So, once we get back
Lucas' mouth twitched slightly as he said calmly, "Brian, stop glaring at her. She's easily scared."Brian did not utter a reply and Aveline remained quiet.A faint sense of awkwardness filled the car.They soon arrived at their destination, an abandoned warehouse. Aveline got out of the car and squinted at the building. "Why are we here?"Lucas said, "The person is inside."Aveline looked at the tightly closed doors of the warehouse, her lips pressed together.Brian walked over, and the two bodyguards standing at the door greeted him with a nod, "Mr. Cooper."Brian waved his hand, and the bodyguards opened the door.Brian turned to Lucas. "Mr. Tudor, the person is inside."Lucas asked, "Did he confess?"Brian replied, "He said he'll talk when he sees you."A cold, faint smile appeared on Lucas' handsome and sharp face as he walked straight into the warehouse.Aveline hesitated but followed. She had witnessed the incident, so she needed to know who was behind it to be mentally prepare
The man widened his eyes in shock. "I... I already told you everything. Why do you still want to cut off my hand?"Brian replied coldly, "I said we'd let you go, but I didn't say we'd let you leave intact. Do it!"In the car, Aveline anxiously looked around. She only relaxed when she saw Lucas' tall, imposing figure emerging from the abandoned warehouse.As Lucas got into the car, she immediately asked, "Did you find out anything?"Lucas responded, "Yes."Aveline leaned in closer. "Who tampered with your car?"There had been some distance between them, but as she moved closer, the space vanished, and the faint scent of her perfume filled the air. Lucas lowered his gaze, his eyes falling on her face, remembering how she had cried until she choked, her eyes extremely red, looking utterly heartbroken."Not scared anymore?" he asked.Aveline replied, "Of course I'm scared, but I want to know who is behind this. That way, I can be mentally prepared."Lucas asked, "Mentally prepared for what
She just wanted to punish Lucas a little!"You've been too reckless!" Hank’s expression darkened as he pointed at Judy angrily. "You're staying home from now on. You're not allowed to go anywhere!"With that, he turned and hurried to his study....Back at the hotel.Aveline started packing her things. She didn't have much, as she had bought most of her stuff after arriving.She packed everything into a small bag and was about to leave when the door opened, and a middle-aged man walked in. Brian followed behind, giving her a cold look.Aveline instinctively took a step back. Why was he always glaring at her?Lucas saw that she had finished packing and walked over. "Wait a moment, we'll leave together."Aveline blinked. "Once we get back, let's finalize the divo—"Lucas suddenly covered her mouth. "Wait for me."He then turned and entered the study with the middle-aged man.Aveline frowned. Why didn't he let her finish?Brian stood by the study door, giving her another cold look.Avelin
It was late at night, and the surroundings were completely silent. There wasn't a single person in sight, let alone any taxis. Remembering the strange phone call she had received, Aveline felt more and more uneasy.She clutched her bag tightly and said, "We're about to get divorced. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for me to stay at your place?""Are we divorced yet?" Lucas asked, looking at her.Aveline replied, "No."Lucas continued, "Then what are you hesitating for? What, are you afraid you won't be able to control yourself and make a move on me?"Aveline looked at him as if he were crazy. "Haha, you're so full of yourself!"With that, she walked straight to his car. Make a move on him? That was absolutely impossible!Lucas watched her back, the smile on his lips deepening.At the Tudor residence, the butler had been informed of Lucas' return, and the entire villa was brightly lit.Aveline walked in, saw the butler, and suddenly thought of something. She asked in confusion, "Have you b
His shirt hung loosely in front, fluttering gently as he moved, revealing his well-defined muscles. From Aveline's angle, she had a perfect view of his chiseled abs.Her heartbeat seemed to quicken.Lucas had already reached her and leaned down slightly, his handsome and sharp face holding a hint of a smile. "Not looking?"Aveline's face turned a deep shade of red. Then, as if a thought had struck her, the embarrassment and hesitation disappeared."So what if I look? We haven't divorced yet. You're my husband. I can look, and I can touch too!"She reached out to touch his abs. Hmm... they felt really good!Lucas froze for a moment, her cool but soft hand on his muscles making them instinctively tense up.A gleam of triumph appeared in Aveline's eyes. "Alright, it's late. Let's sleep."She started to pull her hand back, but Lucas grabbed her wrist, leaning over and pressing her onto the sofa.Aveline was stunned. "Hey, what are you doing?""You touched me," Lucas said."So what if I di
