After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 859

Selena listened, wide-eyed, to Aveline’s story. When she finally put down her cup, her face was full of concern. "What about your eyes? Are they completely healed now?"

Aveline nodded. "Thanks to Leo. He rescued me and got me to the hospital in time. If it weren’t for him, I might never have regained my sight."

Selena quickly turned to Leo, gratitude evident in her expression. "Thank you so much!"

Leo smiled softly. "No need to thank me. You both helped me before; this was the least I could do."

Selena then shifted her gaze back to Aveline, her attention dropping to her stomach. She gently placed her hand on Aveline’s belly. "There’s a little life here?"

Aveline nodded. "Yes."

Selena blinked, then asked bluntly, "It’s that scumbag Lucas' child?”

Aveline hesitated for a moment before replying, "...Yes."

Selena withdrew her hand, staring at her. "What are you going to do about it?"

"I plan to keep the baby," Aveline said firmly.

Selena frowned. "But if you keep the baby and Lucas finds out, he’s going to cling to you. You’ll never be able to get rid of him."

Aveline’s hand rested on her belly as she blinked thoughtfully. "I haven’t decided yet whether I’ll tell him."

Selena, uncertain, looked at her friend. If Aveline kept the child, it was only a matter of time before Lucas found out. The only way to avoid that would be if Aveline disappeared completely, keeping the baby hidden from him forever.

"Since you're back, you should let that scumbag know," Selena said. "He hasn’t slept in days, searching for you."

Aveline nodded. "I will. I’ll go see him later."

Facing him directly would certainly surprise him the most.

Selena hesitated for a moment, as if she had something more to say, but then remained quiet.
