The abandoned Wife Fragments of the Past: Unraveling Relations
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the living room turned tense.Noticing that both Roxanne and Lucian didn’t seem like they were willing to start a conversation, Jonathan’s head started hurting. He had gone through so much just to create an opportunity for them to meet, but it seemed like it was not helpful at all.Jonathan had no idea why Lucian agreed to this in the first place.Even with a headache, Jonathan still had to do something to liven up the atmosphere.“The medical consultation with the Damaris family is this weekend. How are your preparations, Dr. Jarvis?” This was Jonathan’s attempt in starting a conversation.Roxanne pursed her lips and smiled. “I’ve already prepared whatever I could think of. If there aren’t any unexpected incidents, it should go along smoothly even if I don’t perform extraordinarily.”Jonathan glanced at the man sitting next to him, hoping that he would at least contribute to the conversation.Alas, his hopes were crushed as Lucian acted as though he did no

Lucian’s brows knitted into a tight knot as he replied in a low voice, “Okay. I’ll do my best to control myself.”Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk toward Alfred’s room. “I think that Grandpa should be awake now. Let’s go inside. To be honest, he will be incredibly happy to see you since you have not been able to visit for a long time.”“I really was pretty busy recently,” Lucian said as he caught up with Jonathan.“And yet, you still had the time to go to Summerbank with Dr. Jarvis,” Jonathan teased.When Lucian recalled the events that had happened in that particular city, his face darkened. “I just happen to have work to take care of in Summerbank.”Jonathan smiled wordlessly.The two men walked over to Alfred’s room, and Jonathan raised a hand to knock on the door. After hearing Alfred’s voice from inside the room, they opened the door and walked in.“Grandpa, Lucian is here to see you,” Jonathan said to Alfred with a smile after entering the room.“Hello, Old

After watching Roxanne leave, Lucian’s gaze darkened. The next moment, he stood up casually and said, “Old Mr. Queen, I suddenly remembered that I have to settle something at the office. I’m really relieved to see that you’re recovering well. If there’s nothing else, I shall make a move too.”Alfred furrowed his brows slightly when he heard that. He remembered Lucian telling him that he was free those two days. As such, he found it strange that the man suddenly said that he was busy.However, Alfred was understanding, knowing that Lucian was responsible for the entire Farwell Group.“I had wanted to ask you to stay for dinner, but since you’re busy, I won’t keep you here any longer. You should get going now. Work is more important,” Alfred said before continuing earnestly, “Remember to get enough rest and take care of your health.”Lucian agreed and turned to leave.When Jonathan saw that his friend was going off, he stood up immediately and followed Lucian. “Wait! I’ll walk you out.”

After hearing what Frieda said, Jonathan subconsciously turned to look at Alfred.Alfred appeared puzzled.They were happily chatting not too long ago. Then, Lucian said something had cropped up at work and left hurriedly. Yet, why did Frieda say he had appeared angry?Judging from Frieda’s demeanor, Lucian was clearly quite annoyed. Did something happen at work?On the other hand, Jonathan could guess what had happened. He knew Lucian must have argued with Roxanne again.Although he tried his best to create opportunities for the both of them to patch up, it seemed pointless as all their meetings would always end with an argument.I wonder if they are sick of fighting so much because I sure am tired of watching them do that.Looking at Jonathan and Alfred’s reactions, Frieda was baffled.At first, she thought Lucian was irked with the two of them. However, she realized then they were not the cause of his irritation.So why is he so angry? He did not even react when I brought up Aubree

The night before the medical consultation, Roxanne inevitably felt nervous.After dinner, she headed to her study early and planned to go through all the information she had gathered over the past few days.Only a few minutes had pa*sed when she heard a knock on her door.Roxanne looked up from her laptop and called out, “Come in.”As soon as she spoke, Archie and Benny pushed open the door and walked in with a smile.Archie had a cup of coffee while Benny carried a plate with a slice of cake.Carefully, the two children placed the things down on the table. “Thank you, Darlings,” Roxanne cooed as she lovingly ruffled their hair.Archie and Benny grinned before curiously peeking at Roxanne’s screen.When they were abroad, the boys spent much of their childhood in the research institute. Having been in that environment, they had acquired some basic knowledge, so they had a rough idea of what was easy or difficult.After reading some of the information on Roxanne’s laptop, the children q

When they arrived in front of the director’s office, Larry coincidentally came out from it. Upon spotting Roxanne, he chuckled and waved to her. “Did you just arrive?”Roxanne nodded. She wanted to share what had happened earlier. However, there was no time to tell him about it.“Mr. Damaris is waiting inside, and you should head in soon. This year, not many prestigious families recommended others here. It might only be us two,” Larry stated.Roxanne was slightly confused by his words. She did not understand how that made a difference.Before she could ask more, the employee knocked on the office door and invited her in. Quickly, Roxanne had to calm herself and prepare to head inside.The moment she entered the door, she spotted a skinny young man. Perhaps because of how thin he was, his features were more prominent.“Mr. Damaris, this is Dr. Jarvis. The Queen family recommended her,” the employee introduced.The man slowly looked up at Roxanne.When she met his gaze, Roxanne respectf

Roxanne walked into her cubicle briskly. There was already another doctor waiting there. When he saw that she was just a young woman, he thought that she was merely a useless person whom the family had recommended. Hence, he ignored her.Larry followed her in.There were two to three doctors in each cubicle, as well as someone from the Damaris family.Their cubicle was the most well-equipped out of all the cubicles. There were two doctors recommended by the prestigious family and a famous traditional medicine doctor. Even Jack was accompanying them personally.When Larry entered, Daniel Hopp’s expression changed. Smiling, he welcomed Larry. “Mr. Morrison, it’s been a long time.”Larry nodded calmly. “Long time no see, Dr. Hopp.”Daniel grinned at him in a flattering manner. He kept following behind Larry and showering him with care. However, he ignored Roxanne completely.Roxanne did not mind his coldness. Instead, she focused on checking all the equipment. Then, she nodded at Jack, w

When Daniel heard Larry’s words, he completely lost all anger. Although he kept quiet timidly, he still could not help but look down on Roxanne.He was one of the top doctors in Chanaea’s traditional medicine scene. Other than those from a few prestigious families, any other traditional medicine doctor would treat him with the utmost respect.He also knew the other famous traditional medicine doctors in Chanaea.However, he had no idea who Roxanne was. It was evident that she was no one spectacular.If she didn’t have Mr. Morrison and Mr. Damaris backing her up, she wouldn’t have dared to speak to me like that!Looking at how Daniel had relented, Larry turned back and nodded at Roxanne to rea*sure her.Roxanne said gratefully, “Thank you, Larry. Don’t worry; I’m doing great now.”Initially, she was quite nervous. However, due to Daniel’s provocation, her anxiety had now been replaced with fury. All she wanted to do was to prove herself to Daniel and erase his prejudice toward her.Lar

The abandoned Wife Family Ties Unraveled: A Heart-Wrenching Encounter
Roxanne had long guessed Sonya would treat her with an unpleasant attitude. Although she was displeased, she didn’t show it on her face.“It’s Essie and Mr. Farwell’s wishes that Essie stays here. As you’re her grandma, I have nothing to say if you want to bring her back, but I hope you respect Essie’s opinions.”Sonya frowned in displeasure.I’ve already asked Essie just now. I wonder what sorcery Roxanne has cast on her to make her refuse to go home. That’s why I turned to ask Roxanne, but I didn’t expect this woman to be so tactless!Sonya was livid.Just then, Estella spoke. “Grandma, I don’t want to go home. I want to stay here and play with Archie and Benny.”Estella looked at Sonya pitifully.Usually, when Estella wore such an expression, Sonya would have gone along with her wishes. However, she was filled with rage right now, so Estella’s look only added fuel to the fire.“You have to go home even if you don’t want to. You belong to the Farwell family. How can you stay at some
The abandoned Wife Unsettled reunion
Ten minutes ago, Catalina had been instructing the rest of the household staff on their chores when she heard the doorbell ring.The moment she opened the door, she saw that it was Sonya.Before Catalina could greet her, Sonya questioned her, “Where’s Essie? Tell Essie to come out. Tell her that her grandma is here.”Catalina was put in a difficult position.Estella had not been in the manor for the past few days.She had thought that the little girl was with Sonya.However, judging from Sonya’s reaction, Catalina knew there and then that Estella was with Roxanne.It was obvious that Sonya must have discovered that, and that explained her anger.As a servant, Catalina did not know how to answer her question. In the end, she replied, “I will inform Mr. Farwell right away.”She was about to go and seek help from Lucian when Sonya stopped her in her tracks.“I want to see Essie. If she doesn’t come down, I will go up myself.”With that, she began to walk upstairs.Catalina had no choice

“Please wait for a moment as Mrs. Farwell is taking a nap. I’ll tell her you’re here.” After inviting Aubree to sit on the couch in the living hall, the butler was ready to go up to call Sonya.Aubree knitted her brows and responded, “It’s okay. I can go up and check on her.”The butler knew Sonya doted on her. He hesitated but eventually agreed to allow her to go upstairs.Aubree responded with a nod. After plastering a smile on her face, she took the stairs and went up.Sonya had just woken up from her nap in the master bedroom upstairs. Upon hearing a knock on the door, she opened it right away.“Mrs. Farwell.” Aubree grinned politely. “I hope I’m not disturbing you.”Sonya, too, responded with a smile when she realized it was Aubree. “Not at all. I just woke up.”Aubree walked up to her and held her arm affectionately. “I brought you lots of gifts. Let’s go down and check them out.”“Aww, you’re too sweet.” Sonya glanced at her. “You didn’t have to do that. I’m happy that you’re h
The abandoned Wife Veiled Schemes
The search lasted the entire morning.The grim-faced Cayden, who returned with his subordinates in the afternoon, said, “We found nothing, Mr. Farwell.”Admittedly, Cory was an excellent private investigator.Cayden could not help but wonder how he had managed to keep in touch with his employers.Not only did Cayden not find any evidence of how the mastermind instructed Cory to spy on Roxanne, but he also could not find proof that could expose Cory’s identity as a private investigator.Cory began playing the sympathy card. “Mr. Farwell, I told you no one instructed me to do anything.”Lucian waited for half a day but did not get the answer he was looking for. His eyes blazed with fury when he saw the pretentious innocent look on the culprit’s face.“If no one put you up to this, why did you stalk her?” he asked.Cory blinked innocently. “B-Because I find Ms. Jarvis attractive. I wished to snap photos of her since I was trying my hand at photography.”He had felt nervous before Cayden
The abandoned Wife Silent Interrogation
Meanwhile, Lucian, too, ordered Cayden to investigate the issue.With Farwell Group’s financial capability, the investigation was carried out effortlessly.In less than an hour, Cayden had managed to bring the private investigator to Farwell Group.It was not until the private investigator was led to Farwell Group’s entrance that he realized something was off.“D-Did I do something wrong? Why did you bring me here?”Cayden cast him a cold glance. “Why are you asking me that? I’m not the one who calls the shots here. You’ll find out soon.”The private investigator’s legs trembled when he heard Cayden’s words.The only person who came to mind when he thought of the person who called the shots for Farwell Group was none other than Lucian Farwell.The private investigator had recently been following Roxanne around on Aubree’s orders. During those times, he had indeed seen Roxanne interacting with Lucian.Yet, he paid no mind to that.After all, he was merely doing as instructed. He did no
The abandoned Wife Unraveling Secrets
Upon hearing that, the doubtful Roxanne and Madilyn exchanged glances.They had spoken to nearly all the research institutes that could develop that specific bacterium in Horington, and only that research institute confirmed that their laboratory had previously lost the bacteria.Although it happened half a month ago, the bacteria could remain viable as long as they were appropriately preserved.Madilyn was aware of that and didn’t hesitate to ask, “How did you guys lose the bacteria back then? Do you guys have any findings now?”The person’s answer did not disappoint them. “One of the researchers should have taken it,” he said frankly.Madilyn was filled with confusion when she heard that.“Although we have no solid evidence, we were certain about that. Two days after the bacteria went missing, that researcher suddenly quit. We haven’t heard from her since then,” the person continued.Before Madilyn could speak, Roxanne asked, “What’s the name of that researcher?”The person on the o
The abandoned Wife Lost and Found Bacteria
At the side, Estella had her head lifted and gazed at Roxanne, looking hopeful.Roxanne’s gaze flickered. Only after obtaining Lucian’s promise did she forcibly suppress the worry within her.“Got it. I’ll take good care of Essie for the next few days.”Lucian indifferently inclined his head a fraction in acknowledgment. Shortly after, he took his leave and left.Roxanne watched as his car disappeared into the distance before bringing Archie, Benny, and Estella into the mansion.All three children were already starving to the point that their stomachs growled incessantly.Without tarrying, Roxanne prepared some quick and easy breakfast to fill their stomachs first.After having breakfast, she had the children play by themselves while she stood up and went into the study.She simply couldn’t sit back and do nothing about the person who used the bacteria on the children.Worse still, Lucian left Estella at her place. Hence, she wanted to catch the culprit as soon as possible to eliminat
The abandoned Wife Unexpected Arrangements
“Have you and the kids been here?”Lucian came to a stop under a gigantic tree.Stopping with him, Roxanne looked around before shaking her head. “No.”That tree was located at the edge of the woods.Yesterday, she had been with Archie, Benny, and Estella in the woods or by the waterfall.As such, they indeed hadn’t been to that particular spot.Nodding in understanding, Lucian motioned for her to take a look at the bottom of the tree.Roxanne followed his gaze and took a closer look, upon which she made out a vague footprint.From the looks of it, it obviously belonged to an adult.As the footprints moved toward the edge of the gra*sy area, they grew increasingly faint.Therefore, she had no way of knowing whether the owner of those footprints had gone anywhere near the tent.However, it was certain that someone else was there yesterday other than her and the children.In fact, that person had been watching from the side while she was playing with the children.That realization had a
The abandoned Wife Revelation And Resilience
After Archie, Benny, and Estella had dozed off, Roxanne turned off the small night light in the tent.Consequently, the tent was pitch-dark right then, and she had no idea whether Lucian was asleep on the other side.Well, I didn’t hear any movement in a long time, so he has probably gone to sleep.At that thought, Roxanne quietly got up and left the tent. She sat outside under the moonlight alone and stared blankly into space.The weather had been great for the past two days. The moon shone brightly, but there weren’t many stars in the sky.For safety reasons, Lucian had the headlights turned on, illuminating the tent’s surroundings and rendering it like daylight.As Roxanne looked at the scenery around her, her mind gradually began drifting.Too many things had happened that day.At first, the children suddenly contracted a bacterial infection. Then, she inexplicably ended up in the same space as Lucian.Both of the incidents had her emotions turn into a jumbled mess.While she was
