After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas)

Aveline couldn't help but chuckle. After recording the video, she called the ambulance. The ambulance arrived quickly. On the way to the hospital, she dialed the number from the paper.

The person on the other end, Lucas' stepmother, Yvonne Betsy, hearing that the elderly woman was lost and injured, said immediately, "Thank you. We'll be there soon. Please stay with her until we arrive." Aveline agreed.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

After hanging up, Yvonne called Lucas.

"Hello?" Lucas's cold voice came through the phone.

Yvonne said, "Lucas, your grandmother is lost and now in the hospital. You're closer, so go check on her. I'll be there shortly."

Lucas frowned. "What happened?"

"I'm not sure of the details. Just go quickly," Yvonne urged.

"Alright, I understand," Lucas replied and headed to the hospital.

At the hospital, the doctors found that Lucas's grandmother, Barbara Luzen, had a minor bone fracture in her leg, requiring a hospital stay for treatment.

She clung tightly to Aveline's hand, her aged face showing a trace of pain. "Granddaughter-in-law, it hurts so much."

Aveline sighed. "Madam, I'm not your granddaughter-in-law."

"You are! You are!" Barbara insisted like a child. "I don't care, you are my granddaughter-in-law!"

"Alright, alright, I am. Please don't get upset," Aveline quickly reassured her, worried that her agitation might worsen her condition.

Only then did Barbara smile. "Granddaughter-in-law, why don't you visit me? You're just like my grandson, both of you never come to see me!" Aveline just smiled and remained silent.

At that moment, the door to the room opened. Both of them turned to look, and Aveline's eyes widened in surprise.

Lucas!

What was he doing here?

"What are you doing here?" Lucas asked, frowning as he saw Aveline.

Before Aveline could speak, Barbara scolded, "Grandson, how can you talk to my granddaughter-in-law like that? You must treat your wife with care, not be harsh! Apologize to her!" Lucas was speechless.

Realizing that Barbara was Lucas' grandmother, Aveline couldn't help but laugh.

She looked at Lucas, waiting to see how he would apologize. Since their relationship had soured, he hadn't shown her any kindness, as if she owed him money!

Clearly, he was the one who deceived her first!

Lucas looked at Barbara. "Grandma, I need to talk to her. Please rest for a while."

He then grabbed Aveline's arm and pulled her out of the room.

Barbara continued to shout, "Don't be harsh on your wife, do you hear me?"

As the door closed, Lucas gripped Aveline's arm tightly and pulled her close, his eyes cold. "Aveline, I can tolerate your antics, but using an elderly woman with dementia is crossing the line." Aveline's wrist hurt from his grip, but his words hurt even more.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lucas sneered, "Didn't you deliberately approach my -grandmother and reveal your identity? You'll stop at nothing to

avoid a divorce!"

Aveline laughed in anger.

How could he think of her this way?

Hadn't he learned anything about her in the past year?

The grievance welled up inside her, but she forced it down. She raised her chin. "I don't want a divorce, but I had no idea she was your grandmother!"

"Stop pretending." Lucas tightened his grip on her wrist. "If you didn't tell her, why would she keep calling you her

granddaughter-in-law?"
