Aveline pushed Sharon aside and rihed in.

"You can't go in!" Sharon tried to grab Aveline, but Selena intercepted her. "What are you doing? Do you want to bump into me? Believe me, I'll fall and sue you for everything."

Sharon's eyes widened in disbelief. You..."

Wow! This woman was absolutely unreasonable!

Selena lifted her chin, keeping a watchful eye on Sharon.

Meanwhile, inside the hospital room, Frederick, Yvonne, and Aaron were all anxiously watching the man on the bed.

Lucas slowly opened his eyes. His handsome, sharp face was pale, and he looked unwell.

"Lucas, you're finally awake! You scared me to death!" Frederick sighed in relief upon seeing Lucas awake.

Aaron, standing nearby, asked, "How do you feel?"

Lucas' sharp eyebrows furrowed. He still had the oxygen mask on, and his voice was muffled. "I'm okay."

Yvonne said, "Lucas, it's such a relief that you're alright. You don't know how worried your father was. Your wife, Aveline, stood outside the room all night. But how did you get poisoned? Did you eat something b As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room tured tense and oppressive.

Luc. dark eyes grew colder. In a hoarse voice, he asked, "Where... is she?"

"Lucas."

HIS BONUS

At that moment, Aveline rushed in. Seeing him awake, tears immediately streamed down her face. She threw herself by the bed. "You're awake? Are you okay? Do you still feel unwell?"

Seeing that he was really awake, Aveline finally felt a sense of relief. She clutched Lucas' hand tightly as if drawing warmth from himi like someone on the verge of death.

"Who allowed her in here?" Frederick's face darkened as he saw her.

Yvonne quickly intervened, "Honey, don't be like this. Aveline is still Lucas' wife. Now that he's awake, they must have things to talk about."

She pulled Frederick, trying to lead him out of the room.

But at that moment, Lucas' hoarse voice echoed in the room," Aveline, do you hate me that much?"

Yvonne raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Frederick's expression grew even darker.

Aaron's brow furrowed tightly.

Aveline's eyes widened in disbelief. "What... what do you mean?"

Why was he saying this? Did he really think she had poisoned him?

Lucas slowly and firmly withdrew his hand from hers, his eyes filled with disappointment as he looked at her. "I misjudged you."

Aveline's face turned even paler. She tried to stay calm, her fingers curling inwards as she asked, "Lucas, have you lost your mind? Do you hear what you're saying?"

"I don't want to see you," Lucas said weakly, then closed his eyes.

"Lucas!" Aveline's emotions were almost out of control, her eyes stinging with the urge to cry. She fought back the tears. "Explain
