Aveline smiled slightly and asked, “Mr. Cooper, you’re not from Cloudflare City, are you?”

Gernard looked at her in surprise. “How did you know?”

“You don’t quite have the local accent,” Aveline replied

Gernard nodded. “You’re right. I’m from Larbor City, here on business.”

He studied her face for a moment, then suddenly added, “Just so you know, I’m not trying to flirt, but Miss Young, every time I see you, I feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.”

Aveline chuckled softly. “Do I remind you of a long–lost sister?”

Gernard paused, genuinely considering the possibility.

Aveline continued, “Mr. Gernard, if you have other matters to attend to, please don’t let me keep you. Now that I’m awake, I’ll be fine.”

Gernard couldn’t come up with an answer because his long–lost sister had already been found.

“Alright, if you need anything, don’t hesitate to call me.” Gernard nodded, leaving his card before standing up to leave.

The room returned to its quiet state.

Aveline closed her eyes, but the pain in her body was too overwhelming to let her relax.

As her mind began to wander, the door opened again.

Thinking Selena had returned, she said, “You’re back so quickly?”

But there was no response.

Puzzled, she opened her eyes and saw Lucas standing by her bedside.

Her brows immediately furrowed.

She closed her eyes again, hoping to block him out.

Lucas observed her closely, not missing the coldness in her gaze. He pulled a chair over and sat down, remaining silent for a long while. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

The atmosphere in the room grew tense.

Over the past three days, Lucas himself didn’t know how he had managed to get through it.

When he first heard that Aveline had been in a car accident and was in a coma, he was stunned, rushing to the hospital only to find her still in critical condition.

He had stayed by her side for those three days, constantly whispering in her ear, begging her to wake up.

Today, he had to return to the company briefly, and the moment he left, she woke up.

He couldn’t help but wonder if she had done it on purpose.

But looking at her pale, emaciated face, he found himself unable to say a word.

He had watched the surveillance footage of the accident.

She had wandered onto the road, distracted and lost in thought, and a car had hit her because it couldn’t stop in time.

So, part of the blame for the accident rested on him.

Was the fact that they hadn’t divorced really that shocking, that unbearable for her?

Lucas wanted to ask, but he realized he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Because he knew the answer would only bring him disappointment.

When Selena returned, she found Lucas sitting by the bed like a statue, completely still.

She pursed her lips. He had been like this for the past few days, and no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t get rid of him.

In fact, he had even thrown her out of the room twice.

This man was utterly insufferable.

“Ave, it’s time to eat.”

Selena walked over, setting the food she had bought on the table before raising the head of the bed.

Aveline opened her eyes and said, “It smells delicious.”

Selena smiled. “It’s all your favorites, of course it smells good.”

She set up a small tray and arranged the food on it, preparing to feed Aveline.

But suddenly, Lucas reached out and grabbed the utensils from her.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Selena immediately demanded.

Lucas coldly replied, “Leave.”

Selena was furious. “What’s wrong with you? Ave doesn’t even want to see you, so why are you here, forcing yourself on her? Have you no shame?”

Her words were harsh, but Lu
