After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 856

After the injection, Aveline was informed that she would briefly lose consciousness, and when she woke up, her sight would be restored.

She nodded in agreement.

There wasn’t much else she could do.

She couldn’t stay blind—it left her too vulnerable.

She could only gamble now.

If she lost, she’d have to accept the consequences.

But what if she won?

Leo watched quietly from the side.

Once the doctor administered the injection, Leo followed him out of the room.

At the end of the corridor, a cold breeze slipped through the cracked window.

The doctor spoke respectfully, "As you requested, it’s done. Her vision should return soon."

"Good," Leo replied curtly, adding, "Make sure she stays asleep as long as possible."

"Understood."

…

Meanwhile, the police began their investigation swiftly.

Desmond glanced at Lucas, who was sitting inside the car, his face haggard with exhaustion. He softly urged, "Mr. Tudor, you haven’t slept for days. You should go back and rest. I’m sure Mrs. Tudor will be safe."

Lucas’ voice was hoarse as he replied, "I can’t sleep until I hear something—anything—about her."

Desmond sighed inwardly.

What a mess this had turned into.

Russell had pushed too far, actually daring to lay hands on Aveline.

Provoking Lucas like this would bring nothing but trouble.

Rubbing his temple, Lucas finally said, "Prepare a gift. We need to pay Mr. Wilbert a visit."

"Yes, sir."

…

Just then, the door to the room swung open, and Jennifer walked in.

"Sis, how are you feeling?"

Rina cast a cold glance at her. "Get out. I don’t want to see anyone from your family."

Jennifer’s face stiffened, and without another word, she turned and left. Rina had gone too far—Jennifer had come out of concern, yet she was met with such hostility.

In fact, Jennifer was the only member of the Skyler family who bothered to visit. No one else showed up.

Rina understood now just how heartless the Skyler family truly was.

"I want to go home. I want to see Grandpa..." Rina whispered, her eyes swollen from crying.

Her mother nodded. "Alright, we'll go home. You can see your grandfather."

That evening, Rina returned to the Johnson family home.

As Lucas was leaving his study, he happened to run into Rina and Cathy as they walked in.

"Mrs. Johnson," Lucas greeted, giving a slight nod.
