“Friends?”

Lucas scoffed as if he’d just heard a joke. “Selena’s been doing everything she can to push you together. She’s practically ready to throw you an engagement party, and you’re telling me it’s just friendship?”

Aveline’s lips curled slightly. “She just loves playing matchmaker, but I decide who I want to date or make friends with.”

Lucas replied, “Then tell her that playing matchmaker will only cause trouble.”

Aveline’s lips twitched again. Selena would matchmake with any man except Lucas. Her disdain for him ran deep.

Aveline tried again, saying, “So, can you stop targeting Sidney, please?”

Lucas‘ expression turned colder. “We’ll see.”

Just then, the elevator doors opened, and he walked out without another word, leaving her with yet another ambiguous answer.

Aveline sighed helplessly. Why was it so hard to reach an agreement with him?

When she arrived at the studio, she noticed Sidney looking exhausted. It was clear he hadn’t rested well the previous night.

However, the bruises on his face seemed to have healed a bit, a sign that the ointment was working.

She approached him and asked, “Is your mom’s condition stable?”

Sidney nodded. “Yes, she’s stable now, but the sudden discharge and transfer caused her old illness to flare up again.”

Aveline frowned slightly. “Is it serious?”

Sidney gave a bitter smile. “It’s all old issues. Even minor ailments can be really tormenting when they flare up.”

Aveline felt guilty and responsible for causing his mother so much stress.

“I’ll visit her at the hospital later,” Aveline said thoughtfully.

Sidney was surprised by her offer, his eyes lighting up with a hint of joy. “Wouldn’t that be too much trouble for you?”

Aveline smiled. “What are you talking about? We’re friends. It’s only natural for me to visit your mom.”

Sidney nodded. “Actually, my mom’s been wanting to meet you, to thank you in person,‘

Aveline replied, “Please don’t let her worry about that. Right now, the most important thing is for her to rest and get better. We can worry about everything else once she’s healthy again.”

Sidney agreed, “Alright, I’ll make sure to tell her that.”

After work, Aveline stopped by a store to pick up some fruit, snacks, and health supplements before heading to the hospital with Sidney.

The VIP ward was very quiet, with hardly any sound as they walked through. When they opened the door to the room, they saw a caregiver assisting a frail middle–aged woman with her meal.

“Mom, my colleague is here to see you,” Sidney said as he walked in, naturally taking over the caregiver’s

task with a smile.

Aveline approached and said, “Hello, ma’am. I’m Aveline. I wasn’t sure what you might like, so I brought a few things. These are all good for your recovery.”

Sidney’s mother, Ruth Fall, smiled warmly. “I’m just happy you came. You didn’t have to bring anything. Please, have a seat.”

Aveline nodded and asked, “Are you comfortable staying here, ma’am?”

Ruth nodded. “Yes, very comfortable. The environment here is so much better than the previous hospital.

I can finally get a good night’s sleep.”

Aveline smiled. “I’m glad to hear that.”

Ruth then asked, “Are you also an architectural designer, Miss Young?”

Aveline nodded. “Yes, I am.” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
