Chapter 142
Aveline made a simple meal and sat at the dining table, instinctively
checking her phone.
What’s going on?
Lucas hadn’t come up yet?
Where did he go?
Her mind started to wander. She gripped her phone, staring at it for a while, then remembered what he said earlier. She needed to keep him appeased to get the divorce finalized. Otherwise, she’d remain trapped in this dangerous situation.
Taking a deep breath, Aveline dialed Lucas‘ number.
After three rings, the call was answered.
“When are you coming back?” she asked directly.
“You’re so shameless! Lucas loves Sophia, not you. Why do you keep clinging to him? Because of you, they can’t be together, and Sophia has depression!” The angry female voice on the other end wasn’t
Lucas.
Aveline’s expression turned icy. “Did you eat crap before leaving the house?”
Sharon Walsh’s face twisted in anger. “How dare you insult me?”
Aveline sneered. “Did I insult you? I was just reminding you to brush your teeth. Even through the phone, your breath stinks.
“Also, you should know, it’s not me clinging to Lucas. He’s the one who won’t divorce me. If you can convince him to divorce me, I’d be so grateful to you.”
With that, she hung up the phone.
What bad luck!
She regretted making that call.
Aveline sat back down, but just as she was about to eat, she lost her appetite.
Sophia had depression.
So, Lucas went to see her?
Aveline got up and walked to the balcony, looking at the beautiful sunset. She suddenly wished Sophia could convince Lucas to divorce her.
She really didn’t want to be part of this strange love triangle
anymore.
It was pointless.
At the hospital.
Sharon stared at the disconnected phone, her face twisted with
anger.
The next second, someone snatched the phone from her hand.
“Who allowed you to touch my phone?”
Lucas looked at her coldly, then checked the phone and saw the recent call log.
Aveline had called him, and Sharon answered.
He could easily imagirle what Sharon might have said to Aveline, and his expression darkened even further.
Sharon looked at him. “You’re just in time. That shameless woman said you won’t divorce her. Is that true?”

Lucas‘ eyes bore into her. “Watch your words and attitude. Don’t be surprised if one day you get beaten up by someone you don’t know.”
Sharon grew even angrier. “Are you threatening to hit me because I insulted her? Lucas, is it true that you don’t want a divorce? How could you be so despicable? If you don’t divorce her, what about Sophia? She lost a leg because of you, and now she has depression. If I hadn’t arrived in time today, she would be dead!”
The more Sharon thought about it, the angrier she became. “Lucas, if anything happens to Sophia, I won’t let you off!”
Lucas stared at her coldly. “Who do you think you are?”
Sharon’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You…”
“Sharon…”
At that moment, a weak voice came from the hospital room.
Sharon shot a furious glare at Lucas before turning and entering the
room.
“Sophia, you’re finally awake. You have no idea how scared I was when I found you on the floor. How could you be so foolish? How could you think of suicide?”
