After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 848

"You dare!"

At that moment, the door to the room suddenly swung open.

Aveline, her face pale but her expression taut, stood there.

Although she couldn’t see anything, her eyes were filled with a fierce determination.

She instinctively shielded her stomach with her hands, her voice hoarse but resolute. "If you dare touch my child, I’ll fight you to the death!"

Though she had been lying on the bed, anxious, she quietly got up and moved closer to the door, wanting to overhear what they were discussing.

To her shock, she caught wind of the possibility that she might be pregnant!

Stunned, her mind raced as she recalled her recent moments with Lucas. There was one time when things had gotten too intense, and the next time, they hadn’t used any protection. She had assumed she was in her safe period and brushed it off at the time.

Clearly, the so-called safe period wasn’t safe at all!

But now that she knew she was pregnant, she was determined to keep the baby.

Without close family in this world, she would create her own family.

No one could touch her child!

The doctor glanced at the man and said, "I’ve prescribed some medication to help her recover. We’ll know for sure if she’s pregnant after the tests."

The man said nothing, but Aveline could feel his gaze fall on her.

As the doctor’s footsteps faded, the man's electronic voice echoed coldly. "Didn’t you claim you no longer cared about Lucas? So why keep his child?"

"It’s MY child!" Aveline’s voice was sharp, unyielding. "Mine alone!"

He let out a derisive laugh. "But the father is Lucas. The child shares his bloodline. You can’t claim it as yours alone. If Lucas finds out you’re pregnant, you’ll never escape. You’ll be bound to him forever."

Aveline's heart raced. "Who are you? How do you know so much about me?"

Why would he still be fixated on whether she cared about Lucas or not?

Yet, if it wasn’t them, then who else?

It had to be someone with the power to pull this off without Lucas discovering it immediately, someone who also understood her inner thoughts.

Aveline found herself sinking back into confusion.

The man watched her pale face in silence for a long moment before finally speaking. "Aveline, I won’t let you have Lucas’ child. If you want a child, I can give you one."

"Get out!" Aveline cursed angrily. "You make me sick!"

In her panic, she hurried back into her room, slamming the door and locking it behind her.

Her hand instinctively rested on her stomach. Whether or not she was truly pregnant was still uncertain, but her mind was made up. If she was carrying a child, she would protect the baby at all costs. She would never let anyone harm him!
