"Lucas, thank you. I suddenly feel a lot of pain in my leg," Sophia said, leaning on Lucas's arm for support, frowning.

Lucas stared at her prosthetic leg and asked in a deep voice, "Do you need a wheelchair?"

Sophia shook her head with a smile. "No, this pain happens

every day. I just have to endure it. It's a lingering issue from two years ago..."

Realizing what she had said, she quickly added, "Lucas, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean anything by it, I just..."

"I'll have someone take you home," Lucas interrupted, guiding her outside.

Sophia lowered her gaze slightly. She had seen Aveline and

deliberately mentioned her leg pain to make Lucas support her. From Aveline's perspective, it would look like Lucas was hugging her.

Though it was a misunderstanding, she felt she had to act. She needed Aveline to know she and Lucas were the true couple and that Aveline was just the third party.

She savored Lucas' warmth and walked slowly. Just then, Lucas's phone rang. He looked at the screen, his expression darkening.

"Hello?"

Aveline's voice came through. "I'm waiting for you at the lawyer's office. Please come as soon as possible."

With that, she hung up.

Her tone was exceptionally cold.

Lucas's lips pressed into a thin line as he put his phone away.

Sophia saw that it was Aveline who had called. Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly let out a soft groan.

"What's wrong?" Lucas asked.

Sophia's face quickly turned pale. "I... my leg suddenly hurts so much, Lucas, why does it hurt so badly?"

She grabbed Lucas's arm, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing this, Lucas scooped her up and quickly walked outside. I'll take you to the hospital."

Sophia sobbed softly while still maintaining an understanding demeanor. "Lucas, do you have work to attend to? If you do, should go. I can manage on my own."

"It's fine," Lucas replied as he started the car and sped towards the hospital.

Sophia watched his handsome, stern profile, her heart pounding uncontrollably. He still cared about her.

Aveline was nothing!

Aveline waited outside the lawyer's office until the staff had finished work for the day, but Lucas never showed up.

She was extremely irritated.

What was this about?

He had agreed to come for the divorce, so why didn't he show up?

As dusk settled, Aveline stared at the sunset for a long while before taking out her phone to call Lucas again.

"Hello?"

This time, it wasn't Lucas who answered the call, but Sophia.

Aveline's words stopped in her throat.

"Miss Young, are you looking for Lucas? He's in the shower. I'll let him know you called." Sophia's voice was soft and sweet, carrying a unique allure. It sounded as if she had just been through something intima Aveline's throat felt like it was being squeezed by a tight grip, making it hard to breathe.

She hung up the phone without saying a word.

They... they!

Her whole body trembled with anger, but more than that, she was heartbroken.

They weren't even divorced yet. How could he treat her like this?

Was he that eager?

Her eyes stung with tears, and she blinked to hold them back. Just then, her phone rang again. Thinking it was Lucas, she was ready to unleash her fury. But when she looked, it was Selena's name on the scre She took a deep breath and answered the call. "Hello, Selena?"
