Divorced 67
Chapter 67
By evening, the business partners in Larbor City had heard about Lucas‘ accident and came to visit him. Aveline observed quietly from the side, not saying a word.
After everyone left, she closed the door and asked, “Earlier, you mentioned the brakes failed. Do you think it was intentional?”
Lucas replied, “It’s possible.”
Aveline frowned. “Who would do such a thing? What would they gain from it?”
Lucas explained, “There are many benefits. It could be someone from Cloudflare City extending their reach here. If I were to die, there would be no one to inherit the Tudor family.”
Currently, Lucas was the sole heir to the Tudor family. If he died, there would be no one to carry on the family line, and others would likely tear the family apart to take their share. The vast wealth and resources of the Tudor family would be a significant gain for anyone involved.
Aveline’s expression grew more serious. After thinking for at
moment, she walked to the bedside and said firmly, “So, once we get back, let’s get the divorce finalized.”
Lucas looked at her in disbelief. “What do you mean by that?”
Aveline blinked. “To prevent your troubles from affecting me. I’m just an ordinary person. If I got caught up in your mess and ended up hurt, I’d be devastated.”
Lucas was silent, not knowing how to respond.
Suddenly, he thought that her previous refusal to divorce wasn’t so bad after all.

Aveline continued seriously, “It seems you’re actually a good person. You regained your memory and realized how dangerous. your situation is, so you wanted a divorce to protect me, right?”
Lucas was speechless.
Aveline pressed on, “Be a good person to the end. Don’t drag this out. any longer. Let’s get the divorce done as soon as we get back, okay?”
Lucas said, “I have a headache.”
Aveline replied, “Then you should rest. I won’t bother you.”
She sat down on the sofa nearby and fell completely silent.
The room grew quiet, creating a strange atmosphere. Aveline closed her eyes, and the sense of ease she had felt gradually faded away.
She had never thought before that he would be in such danger.
Thinking about the rumors she had heard: He was kidnapped when he was a teenager, and his two brothers died while only he survived. Later, he was in a car accident and remained in a coma for a year. When he woke
memory and wandered about up, he had lost his aimlessly until she found him..
He was supposed to grow up in a privileged family, but his fate had been more tumultuous than hers, coming from an orphanage.
These incidents seemed unrelated, but they all targeted the Tudor family.
Would these troubles end only if Lucas was dead?
Aveline’s mind wandered, and her heart sank with worry.
On the third day in the hospital, Lucas was discharged.
Aveline went out to buy lunch, and when she returned, she found him already dressed, though his arm was still in a sling. His

expression was as cold and noble as ever.
“You’re not fully recovered. Why are you leaving the hospital?” Aveline asked, frowning.
Lucas replied, “I’ll continue recovering at home. There’s something I need to handle.”
Aveline asked, “What is it?”
Lucas looked at her, “Do you want to come and see?”
Aveline hesitated. “Can I?”
She got into Lucas‘ car. The driver was his bodyguard, a man with a fierce look who eyed Aveline with hostility.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
After just one glance, Aveline averted her eyes and whispered to Lucas, “Your bodyguard is glaring at me. I didn’t do anything to him, did I?”
