Leaving the hospital, Lucas looked at Aveline. “Don’t overthink it. She just lost her memory from the past two years.”
Aveline glanced at him and asked, “What if Grandma insists you marry Sophia?”
Lucas stared at her deeply. “Aveline, you better get rid of that idea. I won’t divorce you.”
Aveline couldn’t help but sigh. “Actually, getting a divorce isn’t a bad thing. I…”
“Shut up!”
Lucas glared at her irritably. “Didn’t you understand what I said? If you mention divorce again, I won’t hesitate to lock you up!”
His eyes darkened with a fierce glint, and a cold chill surrounded him.
Aveline paused and stopped talking because she knew he meant it.
She turned and walked away, her face growing colder.
Lucas watched her retreating figure, his lips pressed into a straight line.
He opened the car door and got in, his expression darkening even more.
Just then, his phone rang. He took it out and saw it was a call from Maria.
“Speak.”
Maria was startled by his cold tone and swallowed hard. “Boss, I found something, but the person is very cunning, covering themselves completely. All I can tell is it’s a man.”
Lucas squinted his eyes. “Send me what you found.”
“Yes.”
Maria, sensing his mood was off, didn’t dare to be playful and obediently sent all the information over.
Lucas then asked, “Is Sidney still behaving?”
Maria replied, “Yes, yes, he’s behaving. With me watching him, you don’t have to worry, Boss.”
Lucas said, “Keep watching him.”
“Yes.”
Lucas opened his email and looked at the information Maria had found, including two blurry photos. In -the dimly lit hallway, a vague figure stood at the elevator, his hand clearly pressing the open button. At
that moment, Aveline was inside the elevator; fortunately, she hadn’t stepped out. If she had, the.
consequences would have been unimaginable.
Lucas‘ face grew darker as he sent a message to Brian instructing him to continue protecting Aveline.
Barbara’s condition became increasingly stable. After learning that two years had passed, she didn’t react in a way that would harm her health.

Two days later, she suddenly asked Yvonne to contact Aveline.
Aveline was at work when she received the call and felt puzzled but still went to the hospital. Despite Barbara’s current coldness, she had genuinely cared for Aveline before.
“Grandma.”
Entering the room, Aveline saw the people inside, frowned slightly, but still greeted them.
Barbara responded indifferently and then said, “This is Sophia, Lucas‘ fiancée. Aveline, I don’t know how you and Lucas met, but there has to be an order to things. A granddaughter–in–law not approved by me doesn’t count as part of the Tudor family. You’ve only been married to Lucas for a short time; find time to get a divorce. You’re a good girl and shouldn’t interfere in someone else’s relationship.”
Sophia sat by the bed, holding Barbara’s hand with a gentle smile on her face.
Hearing these words, Aveline’s hands clenched slightly before she responded, “Grandma, you’re overthinking. I’ve always wanted a divorce; it’s Lucas who won’t agree. You should talk to him.”
Barbara’s brows furrowed at this. “What do you mean? Do you think I’m a fool? Why wouldn’t Lucas agree to a divorce? Did you say something to him?”
Her gaze at Aveline now held a trace of disgust.
