The abandoned Wife Unspoken Friendship
James was the driver, while Lucian sat at the back of the car with Estella. Suddenly, Estella scrunched up her face and muttered something under her breath.Lucian creased his brows and leaned closer to Estella to hear what she was saying.“Mommy…” Estella mumbled. As she spoke, she even grabbed onto Lucian’s clothes.Although she was still sleeping, Lucian could see that she had grown attached to Roxanne.His gaze darkened as he thought about the woman.James had also heard Estella, and he cast a complicated glance at the rearview mirror.Through the rearview mirror, he saw Lucian’s grim expression and sighed soundlessly.“Essie needs a mother. Until you meet a woman you like, you shouldn’t prevent Essie from seeing Ms. Jarvis regardless of your opinion of her.”After a long moment, Lucian replied in a deep voice, “I’ll take note of that.”James stopped talking because he knew it would be pointless to continue since he did not know what Lucian was thinking.Meanwhile, Roxanne had be

“Mommy, is it because of Essie?” Archie asked. The thought had suddenly occurred to him because the first thing Roxanne had asked when she arrived home earlier was whether Estella had been there.Roxanne’s expression changed immediately when she heard her son guess correctly.Archie is so perceptive! He guessed the reason in an instant!“What’s wrong with Essie?” Benny asked in a puzzled tone.The boys grew concerned about Estella when they saw the look on Roxanne’s face. However, they also knew that if they revealed how worried they were, Roxanne would only become sadder.So, the boys tried their best to hide away the worry and anxiety bubbling in their chests.Roxanne hesitated a little. In the end, she asked the question that had been bothering her, “Would you be angry with me if you wanted to see me, but I didn’t show up in time?”The boys exchanged looks and, without hesitation, shook their heads in unison. “No!”Roxanne looked at them doubtfully.After a while, the boys smiled

“Do you want me to keep this medicine for you?” Jack didn’t take those kids seriously. Instead, he turned around and threw the question at Roxanne.Roxanne frowned as she pondered it for a while. “It’s better to send it to the research institute. There’s no point in keeping this with me.”“Then I will need you to come with us,” Jack said.Hearing that, Archie and Benny tensed up. The grips on the hem of Roxanne’s dress tightened.Just when she was about to agree to his request, she noticed the boys’ unusual reaction. She glanced at them with concern.The boys looked at their mother. “Mommy, aren’t you unwell?”It was only after the boys contemplated for some time that they finally came up with those words.Roxanne’s expression changed slightly. Her eyes grew gloomy as she thought of Estella.“Forget it if you’re not feeling well. I’ll just tell the staff over there,” Jack said.Roxanne pulled herself together and shook her head with a smile on her face. “It’s better for me to go over

“Okay,” Lucian said, then took Estella back to the Farwell residence. Soon after, the black Bentley drove away.A camera flashed in the gra*s in front of Roxanne’s house, and a man appeared from the gra*s afterward.While processing the photographs he had just taken, he hurriedly got into his car and tailed Jack’s, which was heading toward the research institute.Roxanne tried to suppress her worries about Estella on the way to the research institute. She began asking about matters related to Herbscape Group.“I was in a rush to leave just now. How are things with Herbscape Group going?”Roxanne really wanted to know if Herbscape Group had actually done those things.Or if Lucian’s business strategies were so terrifying that they allowed him to pa*s off fake as genuine.A hint of displeasure flashed across Jack’s eyes. However, his tone was warm when he spoke to Roxanne. “It’s probably not optimistic.”Roxanne furrowed her brows. She had a theory in mind.“Herbscape Group is involved

Aubree’s phone suddenly vibrated twice when they were talking. Both of them turned to look at the phone in unison.Aubree glanced at it and knew the private detective had sent more photos again.A grim look appeared on her face when she thought about the photos she had been receiving these days.Except for the photos from yesterday, all the other photos were basically of Roxanne and Lucian being together.She had had enough of seeing them getting intimate with one another.A crease appeared between her brows when she tapped on the message to look at the photos.“What’s wrong? Who texted you?” Gina wanted to say more, but when she saw that Aubree was lost in her thoughts, she craned her neck and saw the photos on the phone. “Isn’t that… the son of the Damaris family?”Numerous thoughts raced through her mind as she spoke.A little while later, she asked dubiously, “Are the discussion on the internet some time ago real?”Did Roxanne really use Jack to join the Damaris family’s project?

Back at the Pearson residence, Aubree went back to her room after sending the message. She didn’t know what Sonya’s reaction would be, but she was sure Sonya’s impression of Roxanne would be completely ruined.Gina was still sitting downstairs, wondering if she should call Sonya and add fuel to the fire.Just when she took out her phone and was about to make the call, her doorbell suddenly rang.Gina kept her phone and went to open the door.She was surprised to see Sonya standing there.“Where’s Aubree?” Sonya smiled gently at Gina, suppressing her anger.Only then did Gina regain her senses and realize this visit was the effect of the photos Aubree had sent, but she didn’t know what Sonya was going to say.Gina could barely suppress the smugness in her heart. After some time, she pointed to the room upstairs and said, “She came back early in the morning and went upstairs. She seems to be in a bad mood, but I didn’t dare to ask.”Upon hearing that, Sonya felt slightly apologetic.Gi

“I believe Mr. Farwell will be happy to,” Jack said ambiguously before glancing at Roxanne. Roxanne had sharp senses and could feel Jack’s eyes on her. When he heard his words, her feeling that something was off intensified.Colby’s eyes also darkened when he noticed Jack’s cryptic gaze.Although he didn’t know the truth behind many of the incidents, Jack’s eyes revealed many things.Last time, when Roxanne was under fire, I remember Farwell Group took action in the end. This time, she became Herbscape Group’s technical advisor, and soon, Herbscape Group was involved in a big scandal. No one would believe it if Lucian didn’t do all those things for her. Moreover, I saw him appear in her house in the middle of the night. Lucian and Roxanne are already so close. Now, there’s Jack in the picture.Colby’s heart was filled with jealousy when he realized how competent the other men around Roxanne were compared to him.I have no chance of competing with them unless I can be like them and be

Colby’s expression changed again and again. After a long moment, he finally said awkwardly, “This is Dr. Jarvis’ privacy. Mr. Damaris, I only brought it up to you because I thought you knew about it. But it seems to me now that you aren’t aware of it, so let’s drop that topic.”Jack raised his brows and glanced at Colby. The dubious look in his eyes was enough to tell what he was thinking at that moment.Colby was startled for a few seconds, feeling embarra*sed. However, on second thought, he knew he would have to get in the Damaris family’s good book if he wanted to soar to a career height on par with Roxanne’s.Suppressing the unpleasant emotions in his heart, he started sharing his history with Roxanne. “I met Dr. Jarvis when she was living abroad, and we worked together multiple times after that. After returning to the country, I thought I would lose contact with Dr. Jarvis. But surprisingly, she returned to the country shortly after I did. She even started operating this researc

Roxanne was rendered speechless at that. After all, it was indeed true that the three of them had been in charge of the project since the beginning.Naturally, I wouldn’t shoot myself in the foot, so that leaves only Jack and Colby. That being said, I don’t want to doubt any of them since one of them is the project leader while the other is my longtime partner.Seeing how adamant she was, Lucian felt his anger rise. “If I remember correctly, Jack had something to do with the fire incident at the research institute previously as well.”Hearing that, Roxanne gave him a confused look. Why would he say something like that?She then said, “Mr. Damaris left after delivering those medicines, so what do you mean when you said that incident has something to do with him?”Not wanting to get into an argument with Lucian, she reined in her temper and added gently, “You of all people should know how those medicines came to be, so why would Mr. Damaris do something that won’t benefit him at all?A

After a long pause, Lucian tamped down the emotions in his eyes and said calmly, “I’ve asked the specialists to check on you. They’ll be here soon.” No sooner had he said that, several specialists came rushing over.They were horrified when they saw Roxanne sitting up in the hospital bed. “Ms. Jarvis, please lie down quickly. There’s still residual toxins in your body that has yet to be flushed out. We want to perform a check-up on you, then prescribe some targeted medication.”She was very clear-headed when it came to her condition, and she replied, “There’s no need for that. It has been cleared.”The others frowned, their expressions reflecting their disbelief. “How is that possible?”We all saw for ourselves how serious her condition was yesterday. How could she have gotten better after just one night’s sleep?Roxanne merely smiled and did not say anything.Utterly incredulous, a few of them stepped forward to check on her.After they did so, everyone could not help but feel dumbf

Roxanne patted Archie’s and Benny’s heads soothingly. “Mommy, how are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort?”Archie and Benny stared at her with concern.Roxanne could see her pale expression reflected in her children’s eyes, so it was completely understandable that they were really worried.Roxanne stated apologetically, “I’m all right now. I must have scared you guys yesterday. I’m sorry for that.”Benny reminded her in his childish voice, “You have already apologized to us yesterday! Also, we don’t need you to apologize because we only want you to be healthy and well!”Roxanne felt touched by their words, and a smile spread across her face.“Essie is also worried about Mommy. She was so scared she burst into tears when she dreamt that you fell unconscious.”When Benny noticed Estella hiding behind the other children, he took a step back so Roxanne could see her.Estella’s head was lowered as she sneaked a peek at Roxanne.She remembered Roxanne flatly refusing to let her call t
The abandoned Wife Echoes of Compassion: Healing Hearts and Minds
The following morning, Roxanne had already woken up by the time Lucian did. Her brows remained furrowed while she removed the needles for herself. Lucian glanced at his empty palm, then shifted his gaze to look at the woman before him. In a hoarse voice, he asked, “When did you wake up? Why didn’t you wake me up?”Roxanne was too focused on the task and only realized the man was awake after hearing his voice. She hesitated for a moment, then continued with what she had been doing.“You look like you were sound asleep. Besides, I am feeling better now, so I didn’t wake you up.”She did not spare the man a glance as she spoke.It was worth noting that Roxanne felt as if it was like a dream when she woke up to the sight of Lucian taking a short rest while holding her hand tightly earlier.But soon after, the memories of what happened last night while she was half-asleep came to her mind.She knew very well it was not a dream. Lucian had indeed taken care of her for the whole night.For
The abandoned Wife Whispers of the Heart: Bonds of Love and Family
It was Lucian’s second time hearing Estella addressing Roxanne in that way in the period of merely one night. When Lucian saw the girl’s timid look, he frowned but could not bring himself to say anything to her.Once Estella realized her father was not asking her to change the way she called Roxanne, her eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Archie and Benny with delight on her face.If Roxanne had not been asleep, the children would have cheered out loud.Confusion danced across Lucian’s eyes at the sight of their happiness, but he did not ask them any questions. The only thing he said was, “It’s getting late, so hurry back to sleep.”After making sure that Roxanne was fine and receiving the unexpected surprise, the children quickly agreed to that and followed Lucian out of the ward.After sending the children back to the ward next door, Lucian found his heart skipping a beat as he looked at the way they were staring at him.I think I know why they’re happy now.“Daddy.”Estella wa

Roxanne was someone who knew how and when to keep a distance from others. Even if she were to find out what happened that night, she would only a*sume that Lucian was being helpful by stopping Jack.Lucian was certain about that.Jack paled.“I just want to take a look at her. Also, there’s something I want to ask her about,” Jack said, wanting to find out more about the situation this time.However, seemingly having read his mind, Lucian uttered, “The three of us are the only ones here. There’s no need for you to put up a show, Mr. Damaris.”Jack frowned in confusion. “What are you talking about?”“I’ve already gotten my men to look into it. There were only three people who were involved in this experiment at the research institute.” Lucian’s tone was cold as he spoke. “The other person has been working with Roxanne for many years. I doubt he has the need to do something stupid like this. Therefore, you’re the only suspect left.”Jack was taken aback.He never thought that someone w

Jonathan brought the children to the restaurant and ordered a bunch of food for them. However, they didn’t appear to have any appetite.“I thought you all were hungry?” Their reaction confounded Jonathan.In response, Estella slowly took a bite of a dessert. I’m not hungry. I just don’t want to stay with that bad lady. Why is she still hanging around the hospital after Daddy asked her to leave?Archie and Benny were also pretty distracted.They only left with Jonathan because they wanted to give their parents some private time.Nonetheless, ever since they left the hospital, they started to regret their decision because they recalled their parents always argued whenever they spent time together.They were afraid the same scenario would occur again.“You three aren’t actually hungry, am I right?” Jonathan grinned when he saw through them.In response, the children lowered their heads guiltily with tightened fists.A tinge of confusion flashed past his eyes when he saw the children act

“Roxanne?” Lucian’s heart wrenched as he walked over to the hospital bed and called out softly to the person lying there.However, Roxanne’s eyelids were heavy. She wanted to respond but lacked the energy. Sleep was all she wished for.Lucian grew increasingly gloomy as she became more drowsy.After a long time, he angrily opened the ward door and glared at the specialist waiting outside.“M-Mr. Farwell…”One of the specialists had stayed behind and waited outside the door just in case, following Roxanne’s sudden headache earlier.The specialist did not expect that he would have to face the furious Lucian alone, and he shuddered internally.Lucian’s face clouded over. “What injection did you give her? Why is she so sleepy after the shot?” he asked.When the specialist heard that, he exhaled in relief before a*suring him, “Well, this is because Ms. Jarvis was tormented by pain for the whole day and also suffered a drastic change of emotions earlier, we added some sedatives to the pain

Lucian couldn’t hear what Jonathan told them, but he did notice the rapid change in their facial expressions. It didn’t take long before Jonathan successfully convinced the kids to go with him.“I’ll take the kids out for a meal and bring them back here in a bit. You should go keep Dr. Jarvis company!” he said with all three of the kids standing next to him.Lucian nodded. “Thanks a lot.”Jonathan simply let out a casual chuckle and led the kids into the elevator.There was still a hint of doubt in Lucian’s eyes as he watched the elevator doors close, but he figured it would be safe to entrust Jonathan with the kids.After taking a few seconds to recollect himself, Lucian turned around and made his way into the ward.Unbeknownst to him, Roxanne had heard his footsteps from inside the ward. Realizing that Lucian was coming in alone this time, she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.“I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. I can’t force you to accept me after this incident,
