Aveline's figure suddenly swayed.

"What nonsense are you talking about?

Selena hurried over. "They've been married for almost a year. Lucas

knows what kind of person Aveling is. He must know she wouldn't poison him!"

"Really?" Aaron gave a meaningful smile before opening the

hospital room door and walking in.

Selena frowned. "Hey, what do you mean by that? Explain yourself before you go in!" She tried to follow, but the bodyguards stopped

her.

As Aveline's friend, she wasn't allowed inside either.

"How frustrating!" Selena's face scrunched up in anger. She turned to see Aveline staring blankly ahead, her face alarmingly pale.

"Ave, don't listen to his nonsense. He's just trying to scare you!" Selena said quickly.

Aveline shook her head. "He's not lying. It's possible that Lucas could hate me."

Selena was confused. "How could that be? Before he regained his memory, he loved you so much. Even now, with his memory back, those feelings haven't vanished. He should know your character." Aveline forced a bitter smile. "If it were the Lucas before his memory returned, I'd be sure he wouldn't suspect me. But now, I can't be certain."

The real Lucas had an unpredictable nature, was naturally suspicious, and sometimes ruthlessly strategic. It was a side she had never seen, only heard about through his experiences. She hadn't been fully part of his life story.

Aaron, as his friend, knew much more about Lucas. If he said such things, there must be some truth to it.

Selena hugged her. "Ave, it won't happen. It definitely won't."

Aveline closed her eyes, resting briefly in Selena's embrace.

After a while, Selena said, "Come on, let's get some breakfast. If you want to wait for him to wake up, you need to have strength, right?"

Aveline wanted to refuse, but she realized that if she collapsed, she wouldn't be able to see him wake up. She nodded. "Alright."

Selena breathed a sigh of relief. They left the hospital together and grabbed a quick bite nearby.

When they returned, the hospital room door was open.

Sharon walked out from inside. When she saw them, a cold smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Ha! Serves you right. So, what if you're Lucas' wife? Right now, it's Sophia taking care of him inside. She's the one the Tudor family recognizes as their daughter-in-law. You're nothing!" She still felt the sting from Aveline's slap, and she was definitely holding a grudge. She would get her revenge for that!

Selena responded, "A mistress acting so arrogant. The world is really going downhill!"

Sharon's face darkened. "You know well who the real mistress is!"Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Selena wanted to say more, but Aveline stopped her.

"It's pointless," she said calmly.

Selena was emotional and had lost her cool. Indeed, arguing with

She linked arms with Aveline and headed towards the room,

Sharon, however, extended her hand to block them. "Mr. Frederick said you can't go in!"

She raised her chin proudly.

Selena finally couldn't hold back. "Are you a dog? The Tudor family tells you to guard the door, and you do it. If you're so obedient, shouldn't you have a leash around your neck?"

"You!"

Sharon's face twisted in anger, and she was about to retort when a commotion erupted from inside the room.

"Lucas, you're awake?"
