In the hospital, Sophia looked at Lucas beside her bed, finally feeling relieved.

He still had a place for her in his heart. Now, he was no longer answering Aveline's calls.

"Lucas, when will you divorce her?" Sophia asked weakly.

Lucas, focused on his documents, remained unmoved by Aveline's recent call.

His voice was cold and deep as he said, "Soon."

A hint of joy flashed in Sophia's eyes. She quickly added, " Lucas, I truly love you. With me by your side, we'll be very happy together."

Lucas didn't reply; he simply looked down at his documents, his fingers occasionally turning the pages.

Sophia felt immense satisfaction just watching his striking face, thrilled at the thought of soon becoming Mrs. Tudor.

At that moment, his phone rang again. Lucas' eyelashes fluttered, and he glanced at the caller ID with a neutral expression.

It was Desmond calling.

Sophia also glanced at the screen and relaxed when she saw it was Desmond.

"Hello?"

Desmond said, "Mr. Tudor, there's an urgent overseas video conference you need to attend now."

"Alright, I'll be there," Lucas replied, hanging up. He turned to Sophia, "Get some rest. I'll come by tomorrow."

Sophia nodded. "Okay."

As Lucas left, she gripped the bedsheet tightly, then took out her phone and called someone. "Hello, last night's issue won't be discovered, right?"

The other person replied, "No, he's very concerned about you now. Use this opportunity."

Sophia responded, "I understand."

After hanging up, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside the hospital room, Lucas listened for any sound from inside, his gaze dark and cold.

Entering the elevator, he dialed Aveline's number.

"Sorry, the number you are calling is currently switched off. Please try again later..." The automated message played.

Lucas frowned. What's going on? She had just called him, and now her phone was off?
