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

Annie was successfully rescued, and all the people involved were brought back by Desmond. Meanwhile, in a room within a remote neighborhood...

A man sitting on the sofa received a call.

He smirked slightly and said, "So they found her. Not a big deal, she's not that important."

"What should we do next?"

The man paused for a moment before replying, "Find Aveline first."

"Understood."

After hanging up, the room fell into silence.

...

Aveline had started to get familiar with the layout of the room. It was a suite with a small living room and a large bedroom. She guessed that it wasn't an ordinary apartment but more likely a villa or something similar. The people who lived here were wealthy. The ones keeping her captive had some money.

But she wasn't sure how wealthy they were or whether this was their only property.

However, her instincts told her this person's identity was likely more complex than it seemed.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Wanda walked in. "Miss Young, dinner is ready."

Aveline didn't respond, instead feeling her way toward the source of the voice.

As she got closer, a strong fishy smell hit her nose.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Her brow furrowed, and a wave of nausea surged within her.

She covered her mouth, trying to find somewhere to vomit, but unable to see, she lost her bearings. In the end, she could only vomit onto the floor.

Wanda was startled. "Miss Young, what's wrong?"

She hurried over, gently patting Aveline's back, and then fetched a cup of water.

Seeing Aveline's pale face, she was frightened.

If anything happened to Aveline, she'd be held responsible!

"I... ugh..." Aveline tried to speak but was overwhelmed by the smell of fish again, causing her to vomit even more.

She retched until her stomach was empty, leaving a bitter taste in her mouth.

Wanda quickly glanced at the food, then hurriedly took it away. She opened the windows to let fresh air circulate. Only then did Aveline begin to feel a little better.

Wanda helped her to the bathroom, where she rinsed her mouth before sitting on the bed. The room stift carried the faint smell of vomit, and Aveline's face remained pale

Wanda, flustered, asked, "Why did you suddenly vomit?"

Aveline's voice was weak. "I'm skipping dinner."

BUMS

Wanda didn't respond, watching her for a moment to make sure she wouldn't vomit again before leaving the room. She contacted the man, who arrived shortly with a doctor in tow.

Aveline, feeling weak, lay on the bed. Hearing the door open, she knew it was him-he never knocked. He had come. "Check on her," the man said, his voice devoid of emotion.

Soon, the distinct smell of the doctor filled the room, causing Aveline to frown slightly-she didn't like the scent.

After a brief examination, the doctor also checked her pulse. When they were done, they left the room.

The door closed, and though she could no longer hear their conversation, Aveline was too nauseous to care. Outside, the doctor spoke quietly. "She's pregnant."

The man froze. "Are you sure?"

The doctor replied, "It would require a hospital visit for confirmation, but a pregnancy test could also verify it. The chance is about ninety percent."
