Chapter 322
Aveline said, “Russ, it’s just some snacks. They might help when you don’t have much of an appetite.”
These things didn’t cost her much money.
Russell gave a helpless smile. With his face now bruised, his handsome yet mischievous features looked quite pitiful.
Aveline sat by the bed and asked, “Are your injuries serious?”
Russell coughed and replied, “It’s nothing major, just a few broken bones.”
Aveline’s breath caught, feeling even more guilty. “I’m sorry…”
“Come on, anyone who saw you fainting on the street would have helped. I did it willingly, so don’t feel bad. If you really feel uncomfortable about it, why not cook for me while I’m in the hospital? How about that?”
. He smiled at her, his tone light and his eyes forgiving.
Aveline nodded. “No problem, I’ll make sure to feed you well!
Russell’s lips twitched.
Aveline realized her words were off and rubbed her nose, saying, “I’ll make nourishing meals to help your bones heal quickly.”
“Alright.”
Russell agreed.
Looking at her pale face, Russell asked, “He really didn’t hurt you?”
Aveline shook her head. “No, it’s all settled now.”
Russell asked, “Did you two get divorced?”
Aveline gave a bitter smile. “If we were divorced, I’d be opening champagne to celebrate.”
Russell offered, “I can get you the best lawyer.
“It’s useless.”
Aveline shook her head. “As long as it’s something he doesn’t want, no matter what methods are used, it won’t work.”
Russell sighed. “Maybe when he falls in love with someone else, he’ll let you go.”
“Maybe,” Aveline murmured.
Just then, the door to the ward suddenly opened, and someone ran inside.
“Russ, you’re injured? How did this happen?” Rina asked, her face filled with worry and tension as she looked at him.

Russell instinctively glanced at Aveline before responding, “Why are you here?”
Rina said, “I heard you got hurt and came over right away. Russ, who did this to you? Tell me, and I’ll deal with them!”
Russell replied, “It was Lucas Tudor. Go ahead and teach him a lesson.”
Rina was stunned. “Lucas? That can’t be!”
Russell said, “I have no reason to lie to you.”
Rina bit her lip and said, “Fine, I’ll handle him. But right now, I want to take care of you. Russ, dismiss the nurse. I’ll stay and look after you.”
She then turned to Aveline. “You can leave now. There’s nothing for you to do here!”
Rina mistook Aveline for a nurse.
Aveline’s lips twitched. “I’m not a nurse.”
Hearing this, Rina immediately became wary. “Then who are you? Why are you here?”
Russell frowned. “Rina, stop making trouble. She’s my friend.”
Rina gave Aveline a suspicious look.
This woman was so beautiful–could it be possible that Russ liked her?
