Divorced

Aveline felt herself drifting as if she were floating weightlessly in midair. Her body seemed impossibly light, and she was filled with a sense of confusion. What was happening to her?

“Aveline? Aveline?”

A distant voice called out, familiar but too far away for her to recognize.

“Aveline, wake up!”

The voice came again, closer this time.

The confusion on Aveline’s face slowly faded as she began to recognize the

voice–it was Lucas!

“No, don’t come near me!”

Aveline clutched her head tightly, rejecting his approach, refusing to hear his voice. Memories flooded her mind in a chaotic rush, overwhelming her until

she burst into tears.

“Ave!”

Suddenly, Selena’s voice pierced through the confusion, and Aveline’s eyes flew open. Her face was damp with sweat and tears, and the pain in her body started to come alive.

“Ave, you’re finally awake! You scared me to death!” Selena sobbed, tears. streaming down her face as she saw Aveline regain consciousness.

Aveline blinked, trying to move her neck, and then she realized she was wearing something around it.

“Don’t move! You were in a car accident, and you’ve got fractures all over your body. Does it hurt a lot?” Selena quickly said when she saw Aveline trying to sit up.

Aveline stopped moving and opened her mouth, struggling to speak. “I…

Selena quickly added, “It’s just fractures, no other issues. We’re so lucky. You really scared me.

Aveline closed her eyes, feeling the pain in her arms, legs, and ribs. Those. must be the areas that were injured.

Just then, the door to the hospital room opened, and tall man walked in.

“You’re awake?”

Aveline looked over and saw an unfamiliar face.

The man was young, with a friendly and handsome appearance. His eyes carried a gentle, faint smile as he looked at her.

“And you are…?” Aveline asked, puzzled.

Selena quickly explained, “Ave, he’s the one who hit you.”

The man, Gernard Cooper, looked at Aveline with a face full of apology. “I’m so sorry for hitting you. If there’s anything you need, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’m here to help in any way I can.”

He paused and then took out his business card. “By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Gernard Cooper.”

He placed the business card on the bedside table. “I’ve hired a caregiver to look after you during this time, and your friend has been by your side the entire time. You’ll recover soon.”

Aveline closed her eyes for a moment and then asked, “How long… how long have I been unconscious?”

Gernard replied, “Three days.”

Had it really been that long?

Aveline felt a brief moment of disorientation.

Gernard pulled up a chair and sat beside the bed, his gaze carrying a hint of curiosity. “Miss Young, how are you feeling now?”

Aveline responded, “It hurts.”

Gernard’s expression stiffened slightly, and he said again, “I’m sorry.”

Selena quickly interjected, “Ave, is there anything you’d like to eat? I can go. get it for you.”

Aveline realized she was indeed hungry. “I’d like some soup.”

“Alright, I’ll go get some for you,” Selena said, immediately getting up and leaving.

The room fell silent.

Aveline blinked and said, “The accident wasn’t entirely your fault.”

At that time, she had just learned about not being divorced from Lucas, and her mind had been in a state of shock and confusion. She hadn’t been paying attention to her surroundings, which led to the accident.

n a way, this gentleman had been dragged into the situation because of her.

Sernard was a bit surprised but still replied, “No, it’s my fault for not noticing ou. What’s most important is that you’re okay now.”
