Lucas overheard the conversation, and his steps visibly slowed.
Aaron gave Lance a thumbs up and then joined the group heading to the hospital.
By the time they arrived, the burn on Lucas' forehead had already formed a small blister. The doctor treated it briefly and said there was nothing serious, and they were free to leave.
It wasn't a big deal, but Aveline had insisted on coming to the hospital to make sure.
As they exited the hospital, Selena clung to Aveline's arm, hesitating to speak several times.
Aveline glanced at her. "If you have something to say, just say it."
Selena looked back at the men following them, then tugged Aveline ahead a few steps until they were a good distance away. She finally stopped and whispered closely, "Aveline, are you having second thoughts? Are you thinking of not divorcing him?" Aveline's expression froze for a moment. "I'm not having second thoughts."
Selena, however, looked worried. "But you don't look like someone who isn't regretting it. Lucas just got a little burn and you were so anxious. If he were maliciously attacked and stabbed a few times, wouldn't you be ready to fight to the death for him?" Aveline pursed her lips, saying nothing.
Selena felt her point was right on target. Seeing the men getting closer, she lowered her voice even more. "Look, the date is almost here. You can't waver now, or all your previous persistence will just seem like a joke."
As she finished speaking, the men had already caught up.
Aaron raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you two whispering about that I'm not allowed to hear?"
Selena glanced at him. "If you were one of my friends, you could listen all you want."
Aaron's face darkened.
Lucas walked up beside Aveline, his dark eyes fixed on her. "Ready to go home?"
By now, the sky had darkened. The city's lights were just beginning to twinkle, and a cold wind was blowing; this was not the place for a long conversation.
Aveline looked at Lucas. "Who was that man?"
Lucas replied, "The investigation isn't complete yet. I'll let you know once I have the results."
"Alright."
Aveline nodded, then turned to Selena. "Could you give me a ride?"
Selena was just about to agree when Aaron grabbed her arm. "We still have unresolved matters. Besides, Lucas lives in the same building as her, why would you need to drive?"

Selena struggled, "No, I want to give her a ride! Let go of me."
Instead, Aaron pulled her closer, narrowing his eyes dangerously. "Selena, you still owe me an explanation for what happened earlier. Don't you think it's time to clear things up?" en FindNovel
Selena blinked guiltily. "What earlier incident? I have no idea what you're talking about!"
She reached out to Aveline, looking pitiful. "Aveline, save me!"
Aveline's lips twitched slightly, then she glanced at Lucas. "Let's go." Lucas' lips curved into a faint smile as he led her directly to the car.
Aaron let out a cold snort. "See? Your friend has abandoned you."

"You stupid man!"
She spat angrily before stomping off.
Aaron frowned. "Who are you calling a stupid man? Explain yourself!"
He chased after her, demanding answers.
Lance stood there, looking at the two pairs of departing figures, and sighed at the sky.
Did he come all this way just to be a third wheel?
...
In the car.
Aveline closed her eyes, feeling exhausted, but Selena's words from earlier kept replaying in her mind.
