Aveline closed her eyes, her head pounding with pain.

The sky outside had already turned dark, and she turned to look out the window, her gaze gradually becoming hollow.

It was all pretty meaningless, really.

Just then, her phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, her lit up.

"Selena!"

"Hey, my dear, guess where I am?" Selena Quin's cheerful voice came through the phone.

Aveline guessed, "Cloudflare City?"

"Correct! I'm right downstairs at your place. Aren't you going to come down and welcome me?" Selena laughed.

Aveline replied, "Oh, my princess, I'm afraid I can't. I got injured at work and am in the hospital."

Selena's tone immediately turned serious. "Send me the address, right now!"

Hearing her sudden seriousness, Aveline couldn't help but smile. "Alright."

She sent the address, and less than half an hour later, the door to her hospital room was pushed open. A beautiful woman with bold, alluring features rushed in. "Ave, what happened? How did you get hurt at work? Why are you alone? Where's your mute husband?"

Selena's questions came one after another.

Aveline immediately covered her head. "Oh, slow down! Asking so many questions at once is making my head hurt!"

Selena looked even more worried. "Alright, I won't ask anymore.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

She pulled up a chair and sat beside her, looking at her with eyes full of concern.

Aveline gave a helpless smile. "He's not mute, and soon, he won't be my husband anymore."

Selena's eyes widened in shock. "What happened?"

She had only been abroad for three months. What had happened in that time she was away?

Aveline didn't hold back and told her everything that had happened.

Since they were going to get divorced sooner or later, there was no point in hiding it.

Selena's expression couldn't be described as just shocked; she was completely stunned!

After a while, she pulled out her phone to search for information. A few moments later, she looked at Aveline with a complex expression. "Ave, I thought you were lying to me, but it's all true."

Aveline gave a bitter smile. "Why would I make up a story looking like this?"

"Poor Ave," Selena said, standing up to hug her. "Don't worry,

I'll get revenge for you. That bastard won't get away with this!"

Aveline quickly responded, "Don, you can't act recklessly. He's not an ordinary person. If you anger him, we'll be the ones to suffer." Selena's eyes flashed with determination. "I know what I'm doing. You just rest and don't worry. I'll stay with you tonight." Aveline nodded. "Okay."

At that moment, she really didn't want to be alone in the hospital; it would make her feel lonely and sad.

After a week of rest in the hospital, Aveline had another check- up. Upon confirmation that everything was fine, she was discharged.

During that week, Lucas hadn't appeared even once.

Lucas hadn't reacted to her demands, acting as if she no longer

existed in his life.

Selena stayed with her until she was discharged. "I'll go home. and take a shower first. You should go home and freshen up too. We'll go out to eat tonight." "Alright." Aveline nodded.

They each went home, but less than an hour later, Aveline's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?"

"Aveline, it's Sophia. Is Selena your friend?" Sophia sounded.

Aveline frowned. "Yes, she is. What's going on?"

Sophia replied, "Come to Moonlight Tower."

Then she hung up abruptly.
