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

After the injection, Aveline was informed that she would briefly lose consciousness, and when she woke up, her sight would be restored. She nodded in agreement.

There wasn't much else she could do.

She couldn't stay blind-it left her too vulnerable.

She could only gamble now.

If she lost, she'd have to accept the consequences.

But what if she won?

Leo watched quietly from the side.

Once the doctor administered the injection, Leo followed him out of the room.

At the end of the corridor, a cold breeze slipped through the cracked window.

The doctor spoke respectfully, "As you requested, it's done. Her vision should return soon."

"Good," Leo replied curtly, adding, "Make sure she stays asleep as long as possible."

"Understood."

Meanwhile, the police began their investigation swiftly.

Desmond glanced at Lucas, who was sitting inside the car, his face haggard with exhaustion. He softly urged, "Mr. Tudor, you haven't slept for days. You should go back and rest. I'm sure Mrs. Tudor will be safe." Lucas' voice was hoarse as he replied, "I can't sleep until I hear something-anything-about her."

Desmond sighed inwardly.

What a mess this had turned into.

Russell had pushed too far, actually daring to lay hands on Aveline.

Provoking Lucas like this would bring nothing but trouble.

Rubbing his temple, Lucas finally said, "Prepare a gift. We need to pay Mr. Wilbert a visit." "Yes, sir."

At the hospital, Rina slowly regained consciousness. Her face was pale as she instinctively reached for her stomach. "My baby... what about my baby?"

Her mother, Cathy Bright, sitting beside her in tears, tried to console her, "Rina, you'll have other children in the future."

At these words, Rina's tears flowed instantly.

"What do you mean? Where's my baby? Where's my baby?" she cried, her voice breaking.

Cathy held her hand tightly. "Don't do this, Rina. Your body is too weak to handle this kind of emotional strain."

But Rina couldn't stop crying. "My baby is gone... gone..."

After a moment, she suddenly grabbed her mother's hand tightly, her voice urgent. "Mom, where's Russell? Where did he go?"

Her mother shook her head. "I don't know. I didn't see him when I got here."

A frown crossed Cathy's face as she continued, "I've called him several times, but he won't answer. He's been a terrible husband!"

Rina bit her lip, her eyes filled with hopelessness. She no longer had any doubts-Russell didn't care about her, not in the slightest

Closing her eyes, memories of their engagement flashed through her mind. Russell's true intentions bad always been clear, but she had been too blind to see it.

How foolish she had been!

Just then, the door to the room swung open, and Jennifer walked in.

"Sis, how are you feeling?"

Rina cast a cold glance at her. "Get out. I don't want to see anyone from your family."

Jennifer's face stiffened, and

hostility.

In fact, Jennifer was the only member of the Skyler family who bothered to visit. No one else showed up.

Rina understood now just how heartless the Skyler family truly was.

"I want to go home. I want to see Grandpa..." Rina whispered, her eyes swollen from crying.

Her mother nodded. "Alright, we'll go home. You can see your grandfather."

That evening, Rina returned to the Johnson family home.

As Lucas was leaving his study, he happened to run into Rina and Cathy as they walked in.

"Mrs. Johnson," Lucas greeted, giving a slight nod.
