Though she couldn’t shake the thought that she might have said something like that, Aveline refused to believe it without hearing the recording.

Wait a minute..

If Lucas wanted to stop her, he could easily do it. So why would he worry about her deleting the recording? If he wouldn’t let her listen, maybe he was bluffing.

Convinced she was onto something. Aveline rolled her eyes in exasperation and left the complex.

She returned to the villa site, but this time she brought some help with her.

Sidney looked around at the vast area and said, “You should’ve called me yesterday.”

Aveline replied, “I didn’t realize it was this big. Let’s get started.”

“Got it.”

With two people working, the task went much faster. By noon, they had finished all the measurements.

After double–checking the data to make sure everything was correct, Aveline said, “Let’s go. Lunch is

me.”

Sidney walked beside her. “Are you cooking?”

Aveline paused, caught off guard.

Sidney scratched his head, a bit embarrassed. “Your cooking was really good last time, but we can skip it today. You must be exhausted.”

Aveline smiled. “Yeah, I am. Maybe in a few days.”

“Sure.”

They headed back into the city and found a small pasta shop for lunch. It was the middle of the day, and the place was bustling with people.

Aveline was starving, and when the pasta arrived, she didn’t bother with formalities and dug in.

Sidney watched her and asked, “Aveline, has he been bothering you lately?”

“Mmm, no.” Aveline shook her head. “How about you? How’s your mom doing?

Sidney replied, “She’s doing well at the hospital, no worries there. But she keeps mentioning you.”

Aveline smiled. “Once I get through this busy period, I’ll go visit your mom.”

Sidney grinned. “She’d be thrilled to see you.”

Just then, his phone rang. Glancing at the screen, he saw it was a call from the nurse. His expression

nowhere and is trying to kick your mother out of the hospital. She even brought bodyguards, and they look really intimidating!”

Sidney’s brow furrowed. “Alright, I’m on my way. Don’t let them touch my mom.”

Aveline wiped her mouth with a hapkin and asked, “What’s happening?”

Sidney explained the situation, and Aveline’s face immediately mirrored his concern.

A woman? Who else besides Lucas would go after Sidney like this?

Setting her utensils down, Aveline said, “I’m coming with you.”

Sidney tried to protest, “It’s okay, I can handle it.”

But Aveline insisted, “I can call Russell if things get out of hand. He might be able to help.”

Seeing no other option, Sidney nodded. “Alright.” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

The two of them hurried to the hospital. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they could hear a commotion.

“Throw all their stuff out! How dare they stay here when they can’t even pay the medical bills? Have they no shame?”

The voice was disturbingly familiar, dripping with malice.

Aveline turned to see none other than Rina standing in the hallway.

Why was it her?

People from the other rooms had come out to watch, and even the doctors and nurses stood by, too intimidated to intervene.
