Chapter 401 Aveline's expression stiffened.
Selena exploded, "What's her problem? She just walked up and grabbed Ave's hand! Who does she think she is? Ave doesn't even know her!" Judy's tears fell as she cried out, "Lucas, it hurts so much..." Lucas's face darkened. He called for the bodyguard, "Take Miss Thompson. to the hospital." The bodyguard stepped forward, scooping Judy up and quickly heading outside.
Judy didn't resist, but a hint of coldness appeared in her lowered eyes.
Lucas looked at Aveline. "You're coming withto the hospital." Selena, like a protective mother, shielded Aveline, "What for? This has nothing to do with Ave!" Lucas' eyes grew colder as he stared at Selena, his gaze filled with a hint of menace.
Selena felt a chill down her spine like someone had their hands around her neck.

Selena reluctantly left, her eyes full of worry.
Aveline looked at Lucas, then rolled up her sleeve, revealing a mark on her +15 BONUS fair skin made by fingernails.
"This is what she did just now," Aveline calmly told Lucas, her eyes serene. "I don't know why she did it, but I don't know her. There's no way I would hurt her." Lucas's gaze landed on her arm. Her skin was so fair that even a slight pressure left marks, something he knew very well because she couldn't even bear his slightest touch in the past. Lucas' eyes grew even colder. He then said, "But she got hurt because of you. Cto the hospital with me." Aveline felt a chill in her heart, her fingers curling slightly. "Alright," she nodded.
Lucas walked out first.
Aveline followed, heading straight to the hospital.
Judy's arm was being treated by the doctor. The burn wasn't severe, but due to her fair skin, it looked quite alarming.
After the treatment, Lucas said, "I'll ask the doctor about the precautions." He walked back into the room.
Seeing this, Judy smiled and looked at Aveline, saying, "Mrs. Tudor, Lucas is so considerate and gentle. As his wife, you must be very happy." Aveline lowered her eyes slightly, not responding.
Inside, she felt nothing but mockery.
This kind of patience and gentleness was never directed at her.
Meanwhile, in the consultation room,

Lucas, with a cold expression, asked, "If the injury isn't properly cared for, ve what wit happen to her wound?" The doctor replied, "It will fester, becinflamed, and cause pain for a 23 +15 BONUS long time." Lucas nodded. "I understand." He then stood up and left the room.
The doctor was somewhat puzzled but quickly got busy again.
Upon leaving the hospital, Lucas said to Judy, "I'll arrange for someone to take care of you. During this time, E just focus on recuperating." Judy's smile grew wider. "I understand. Thank you." Lucas replied, "You're welcome. It's what I should do." His demeanor was warm and gentle, a stark contrast to how he treated Aveline.
