Divorced

Chapter 564

Lucas glanced at her and pressed a button for a different floor.

Seeing this, Aveline hesitated and asked, “Where are we going now?”

In a low, cold voice, Lucas replied, “To get you checked.”

Aveline’s expression immediately darkened. “There’s nothing wrong with me, I’m not going.”

Lucas looked at her calmly. “We’re already at the hospital. Do you really think you can avoid this?”

Her face grew even more tense.

The elevator quickly reached the designated floor, and as the doors opened, Lucas firmly took her hand and led her directly to the doctor’s office without giving her a chance to resist.

This hospital was under the Tudor family’s management, and the doctors of department head rank and above all knew Lucas. Whenever they saw him, they would respectfully address him as Mr. Tudor.

He pushed open the door to an office where a doctor, wearing glasses, was in the middle of a consultation with a patient. The sudden intrusion startled the patient.

The doctor glanced at Lucas, clearly displeased, and said, “Can’t you see I’m in the middle of a consultation? Couldn’t you have informed the nurse outside before barging in?”

Aveline was a bit surprised that someone would dare speak to Lucas like that–it seemed this doctor had a close relationship with him.

Lucas pulled out a chair and sat down, speaking indifferently, “Continue with your consultation. I’m not here to disrupt your work.”

The doctor replied, “But just by being here, you’re disrupting my work.”

Lucas let out a light scoff. “Well, in that case, since the patient is leaving, you can help me out instead.”

The doctor fell silent as the patient indeed got up and left.

The doctor then turned his gaze toward Aveline, his eyes narrowing slightly behind his glasses, and asked, “And this is?”

“My wife, Aveline,” Lucas replied.

The doctor looked at Aveline in surprise before introducing himself, “Hello, I’m Lance Summer.”

Aveline gave a slight nod. “Hello, I’m Aveline Young, but I’m not his wife. We’ve already divorced.” Lucas glanced at her but remained silent.

Lance smiled and asked, “So, why are you two here?”

Lucas pointed to Aveline and said, “She’s got a psychological issue. Every time I touch her, she claims it hurts.”

Aveline was speechless. She shot Lucas a glare, wishing she could slap him across the face!

Did he not realize why she reacted that way?

Lance raised an eyebrow at Lucas‘ comment, then remarked, “You’re too rough with her.”

Lucas remained silent, his expression unchanged.

Lance continued, “If you don’t mind, could I have a private conversation with Miss Young?”

“Are you joking?” Lucas‘ gaze instantly turned icy. “You want her to discuss something like this alone with a male doctor?”

Lance pushed his glasses up and replied, “As you mentioned, I’m a doctor. In my profession, we don’t see gender – just patients who need care.”

“That’s nonsense,” Lucas retorted bluntly. “You’re going to examine her right here.”

Lance fell silent, then looked at Aveline with a hint of sympathy. “You’re a brave woman to have married him and lived with him for so long.”

Aveline responded, “Thank you for the exaggeration, but I don’t want to be that brave.”

Lucas‘ face grew even darker.

Lance sighed helplessly and said, “I don’t know all the details, but I suspect she’s developed a psychological stress response to your touch. Her brain is signaling her body to feel pain. The only solution is for you to stop touching her.”

Lucas glared at him. “Take that back and say something else.” NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Lance removed his glasses and rubbed his temples in frustration.
