At the hospital.After returning, Aaron animatedly recounted the events at the breakfast spot.Lucas listened for a while before suddenly interrupting him. “Did she really say that?”Aaron paused, then realized Lucas was asking about Aveline rejecting Russell. He nodded. “Yeah, she seemed a bit awkward, clearly not expecting Russell to suddenly confess to her.” Lucas frowned. She didn’t like Russell.Knowing this should have made him happy. But for some reason, his mood only grew heavier.If she didn’t like Russell, could it be that she liked Sidney?The thought made his expression darken even more. The problem was, there were too many men around her, giving her plenty of options.He reached out and looked at Aaron. “Give me the phone.”Aaron handed it over, asking, “What are you planning?”Lucas took the phone and dialed a number, his tone cold. “Fire Sidney.”Maria, on the other end, sounded groggy, like she had just woken up. “Huh? Why?””That’s an order,” Lucas replied firmly.Maria, now more alert, responded with a hint of defiance, “But I don’t feel like listening to your orders.”Lucas was speechless.Maria continued, “Sidney is very competent and makes me a lot of money. I have no reason to fire him.”Lucas remained silent.Then Maria seemed to recall something and chuckled. “Boss, are you worried that Aveline likes Sidney? Why so insecure?” Lucas, expressionless, hung up the phone.Maria laughed softly to herself-he really was insecure.Noticing Lucas’ increasingly sour expression, Aaron asked, “Who are you trying to fire?”Lucas closed his eyes. “I’m tired. You can leave now.”Aaron clenched his teeth. “You jerk! I’m not done talking-you’re going to listen to me!”…Aveline slept in until 10:30 a.m. After browsing her phone in bed for a bit, she got up and began preparing lunch.She cooked dishes that both she and Selena loved, and the delicious aroma filled the kitchen, making her own mouth water.”Mmm, smells amazing!” Selena appeared, following the scent, her eyes gleaming with excitement.Aveline smiled. “Alright, go wait outside.””Got it!” Selena cheerfully turned and left.Once the food was ready, Aveline brought the dishes out, and Selena helped set the table. Selena couldn’t resist taking out her phone, snapping photos, and posting them on her social media. “It’s been so long since I’ve had food this good. The aroma is making me cry with happiness.”She included a collage of nine photos, four of which were the dishes, and the remaining were selfies with Aveline.

He opened each picture and commented, “I have to admit, those dishes sure look delicious.” He noticed that Lucas still had hiseyes closed, so he held the betto him. “Take a look at this.Iemade.”e are the meals AvelineHearing this, Lucas opened his eyes. When he saw the photos of the food, his expression briefly shifted.Just then, the nurse entered with a tray of food.Lucas’ face immediately twisted in discomfort, and he began to retch.”What’s going on?” Aaron was stunned.The nurse looked equally confused. “I’m not sure.””Get it out of here…” Lucas muttered, his face pale.The nurse quickly cleared the food, and Aaron opened a window to air out the room. Only then did Lucas start to look better.
