Before Roxanne could react to the situation, Lucian supported her by the waist and stabilized her body.

When she raised her head, she saw his dark eyes.

As their gazes met, Roxanne’s body stiffened. Then she quickly looked away before standing back up by propping her hand on the bed and supporting herself.

He had grabbed her subconsciously when she fell. However, when he saw her avoiding him like the plague, the look in his eyes darkened. And so, he quickly withdrew the hand from her waist.

“How dare you say you researched complicated diseases before! Is this the result of your research? I think those credentials of yours were bought!” Frieda didn’t notice what was going on between the two of them and was still angry at Roxanne.

She stared at Jonathan furiously. “I think she’s a liar, Jonathan! We need to kick her out right now!”

When Roxanne heard that, she quickly snapped back to her senses and mocked, “No wonder Old Mr. Queen’s condition became so severe. It seems like someone’s be

  • The abandoned Wife    Unexpected Connections

    Why is he helping me again? Before I started the treatment, he was the one who was trying to stop me from advancing. But when I was treating Old Mr. Queen, he helped out, and now he’s even defending me. His intentions are so unclear…“Frieda has admitted her mistake, but I don’t expect you to forgive her that quickly, Dr. Jarvis. However, as you said, my grandpa’s condition is worsening. Can you please treat him first. We can discuss how we can make up for my sister’s misdeed in the future.”Jonathan’s voice rang in her ears.Roxanne was still pretty upset, but when she thought about the research institute, she suppressed her displeasure.Besides, Jonathan was right. Alfred did need a doctor quickly, and he was innocent.When she thought about that, she calmed down and swept her gaze past the crowd in the room before ordering coldly, “I hope unrelated persons will leave this room before I restart my treatment.”Frieda was about to say she was family before Roxanne added, “That include

  • The abandoned Wife    Echoes of the Past

    After Estella handed the handkerchief to Roxanne, she had been staying at the latter’s side. Upon hearing that they were heading downstairs, she immediately reached her hand out and grabbed Roxanne’s hand, much like how they did it last time.Right before her hand touched Roxanne’s, a phone rang.Roxanne promptly turned around to take the phone in her bag, and her fingertips brushed past the little girl’s.It wasn’t easy for Estella to build up the courage to hold Roxanne’s hand, yet she failed at the last second. She blinked slowly as disappointment colored her expression, and she started fiddling with her fingers.Lucian saw how they almost held each other’s hand. His eyes darkened in response.Roxanne picked up the phone and saw it was a call from Madilyn.She handed her kids to Madilyn tonight because of her appointment at the Queen residence.So, when she saw the call, she thought something happened to the children and speedily answered.As her finger swiped across the screen, sh

  • The abandoned Wife    The Road to Recovery

    Since she has no intention of acknowledging her daughter, I might as well go along with her wishes.Taken aback by Lucian’s tone, Estella was briefly stunned before she pouted and wrote in her notebook: Why?Before he could reply, she quickly wrote: I like her very much, and she is kind and gentle to me. I want to be together with her!Despite Lucian’s sympathy for her when he saw how much she liked Roxanne, they had no choice but to face reality. He replied indifferently, “That’s because she has children of her own and doesn’t need another child.”Estella was confused by his reply.I know that the two boys are her sons, but she has still been very nice to me. However, Daddy seems to hate her.Estella couldn’t help but feel disappointed.When he saw her fall silent, Lucian instructed his assistant to drive.After leaving the Queen residence, he felt a tug on his sleeve, causing him to look over at Estella with knitted brows.She wrote: In that case, where is my mommy?She gave him a p

  • The abandoned Wife    Negotiating the Reward

    After going into the details a little more, Roxanne realized it was getting late when she checked the time.Thinking of her two sons waiting for her at home, she got up to leave. “I think it’s time for me to go, but I’ll be coming back tomorrow. In the meantime, call me if Old Mr. Queen has any problems.”With that, she headed to the door with her medical bag in hand.Glancing at Roxanne’s leaving silhouette, Jonathan called out to her, “Dr. Jarvis, other than treating Grandpa, I’m sure you have some other reason for being here.”Stopping abruptly in her tracks, Roxanne suddenly remembered her objective for coming over.But Old Mr. Queen hasn’t recovered fully yet. So, Jonathan…When Jonathan saw her stop, he softened his tone. “Don’t you want to talk about it first before leaving?”Jonathan’s intentions couldn’t be more obvious.Even though she didn’t bring up the matter of medicine supply, he was cognizant of her agenda. In fact, he was also interested in exploring the matter with h

  • The abandoned Wife    The Miracle Doctor and the Contract

    The moment the three of them saw Roxanne, they dropped the Lego in their hands and welcomed her home together.“Mommy!”The two boys threw themselves into her arms and asked in a concerned tone, “Why did youcome back so late? All of us are already sleepy.”.Both of them yawned with their eyes about to close.Roxanne tousled their hair. “I’m sorry for letting all of you wait that long.”Raising her gaze, she wanted to thank Madilyn.Sensing what she was about to say, Madilyn waved her hands. “Don’t worry about it. Both of them are my godsons after all. As for you, have you had your dinner yet? It’s already so late!”Roxanne shook her head. “I didn’t manage to eat, as I was caught up with work.”She had lost track of time while treating Alfred and discussing the supply of medicine with Jonathan.However, now that Roxanne had reminded her of it, she began to feel her stomach growling.Madilyn gave her an annoyed look. “I knew this would happen whenever you’re busy. Therefore, I set asid

    Cognizant that Madilyn had helped her pick up the boys two days in a row, Roxanne planned to pick them up herself that day. Thus, she headed to the Queen residence in the afternoon after finishing her work in the morning.After she arrived, she examined Alfred to make sure there weren’t any complications before continuing his treatment by inserting needles.While waiting for the time to remove the needles, Jonathan approached with a document in hand. “Dr. Jarvis, here’s the contract I’ve prepared. If you’re fine with the terms, you can just sign on it.”Roxanne wasn’t surprised, as that was what they discussed the night before. After going through the document in detail, she placed her signature at the bottom.With the contract signed, Jonathan’s attitude toward her grew warmer. “From now on, we have become partners. Nevertheless, we’ll still need your help with regards to Grandpa’s condition.”Roxanne nodded in acknowledgment. “That’s the least I can do.”After a brief chat, Roxanne

    At the same time, Estella, too, threw her a hopeful gaze.Faced with the look in Estella’s eyes. Roxanne, who was about to decline, couldn’t bring herself to say it. In the end, she swallowed her words and nodded at the teacher.In response, Estella’s eyes glistened as she discreetly leaned into Roxanne while holding the latter’s sleeveFrom afar, it looked as if she was leaning in Roxanne’s arms.Sensing the slight movement, Roxanne didn’t stop her nor show her any attention. Instead, she discussed the boys’ affairs with the teacher as if she didn’t realize anything.“I remember that you came back from overseas together with Archie and Benny. Considering that they grew up overseas, I’m surprised at how well they speak Chanaean.”Since the chat was just an excuse, the teacher talked about trivial matters, as Archie and Benny’s performances in class were so impressive that there was nothing to complain about.Roxanne nodded with a smile. “That’s because there were still many Chanaeans

    Meanwhile. Lucian didn’t notice the boys in the car as he strode into the kindergarten, well aware that he was late.The moment he stepped in, he saw two figures by the slide together with Estella, who had squeezed herself into Roxanne’s arms by then.“Mr. Farwell, you’re here!” the teacher greeted respectfully when she saw Lucian.Lucian nodded in acknowledgment as he walked up to them. After throwing his daughter a glance, he stared coldly at Roxanne. “Why are you here?”Sensing his hostility, Roxanne knitted her brows in confusion.The teacher then looked at them in surprise, “Do you know each other?”Just a while ago, she had assumed that Roxanne didn’t know Estella.However, considering how dependent Estella was on Roxanne, she figured that it wasn’t such a surprise at all.After nodding at the teacher without answering the question, Roxanne shifted her attention toward Lucian. “I came here to pick my boys up. It was your daughter who refused to let go of my clothes, forcing me t

  • The abandoned Wife    Confrontation and Consequences: Protecting Family

    Aubree was getting out of line. Afraid that Archie and Benny could hear her, Roxanne decided to open the door and confront her. “Are you done, Ms. Pearson? If you are, please leave,” she uttered.When Aubree saw that Roxanne had finally stepped out of the mansion, she became even more enraged. “How dare you come out! What is it? Are you hoping for Lucian to come over to help you?” she snarled at the sight of the latter’s face.Annoyed, Roxanne frowned. “As I’ve said before, I’ll distance myself from them. I only went to the kindergarten today because I wanted to know how Essie was doing. If those kids didn’t bully her, I wouldn’t have met Mr. Farwell, and no one would’ve known I was there.”Then, she enunciated a promise. “From now on, as long as Essie is well, I’ll stay out of your lives.”“You’ve got to be kidding me!” Disdain was written all over Aubree’s face. “Do you think I would still believe your words? Where are those two b*stards? Get them to come out! I want to show them t

    “I’ll be picking Essie up this evening. Go back to your meeting,” Lucian said to Aubree in a frosty tone. The woman dared not say anything else.After all, it had been hard for her to get him to give her another chance, and she did not want to mess things up again.Only after watching Lucian leave did Aubree plod back into her car.However, she did not drive toward Pearson Group.The meeting she mentioned earlier was only a lie to make Lucian think that Estella was important to her.The Pearsons had come to one tacit conclusion—Aubree’s most important task was to get Lucian to marry her as soon as possible.Hence, her father had been taking care of everything in Pearson Group while she only went there once in a while. Most of her time was spent thinking of ways to get in Lucian’s good graces.Just as her hard work was finally coming to fruition, Roxanne’s few sentences destroyed all the time and effort she had poured into the matter.Enraged, Aubree wished she could skin Roxanne aliv

  • The abandoned Wife    Beneath the Surface

    A wave of fury crashed through Aubree upon the thought of Lucian and Roxanne being together. Why does this woman keep showing up everywhere?However, she forced a smile as she couldn’t express her disgust for Roxanne since Lucian was around.On the other hand, Roxanne never thought Aubree would call out to her when she was about to leave.It would have been rude of her if she ignored Aubree.With that thought in mind, Roxanne paused in her tracks, turned around, and greeted Aubree coldly, “It’s been a while, Ms. Pearson.”Aubree smiled. “If I remember correctly, your kids don’t study here. So what brings you here today, Ms. Jarvis? Are you planning to transfer them to this kindergarten so they can attend school with Essie?”Roxanne’s heart sank at that.She could tell what Aubree was hinting at even though she didn’t say it straight to her face.Aubree was accusing her of using Archie and Benny to approach Lucian by transferring her two kids to the same kindergarten as Estella.Roxan

  • The abandoned Wife    Confrontation at the Kindergarten

    Estella stared intently at Roxanne for a very long time before she finally agreed to let go of the woman, though reluctantly. “Ms. Jarvis, you must pinkie swear with me that you will visit me in two days!”Smiling, Roxanne extended her hand and pinkie swore with Estella.Lucian’s face darkened as he saw how Roxanne and Estella interacted with each other.After Roxanne was done placating Estella, she stood up once again to leave. “I should go now.”With that, she fled the office without waiting for Lucian to respond.Not only was she worried that Lucian would ask about the reason she showed up at the kindergarten, but she was also terrified of hearing his sarcastic remarks.Lucian stared at Roxanne as she left the office. He furrowed his brows.“Daddy, are you angry with Ms. Jarvis again?” Estella asked anxiously as she observed the change in her father’s expression.Estella’s voice brought Lucian back to the present moment. He leaned over and caressed Estella’s head. “I’m not angry w

    Seemingly sensing Roxanne’s gaze, Lucian turned toward her. Roxanne was stupefied when their eyes met. It took her a few seconds to come back to her senses and signal Lucian to stop the head of the kindergarten.“I don’t have much time. Tell them to hurry up.” It was as if he did not understand the look she gave him.What the he*l!The head of the kindergarten was quick to agree to it and promptly went to call the parents.Once the other man was out, Roxanne turned to look at Lucian disapprovingly. “You don’t need to blow this out of proportion.”Those kids might take out their anger on Essie after getting scolded by their parents. The lesson I taught them was more than enough.Lucian’s eyes flitted toward the girl in Roxanne’s arms before anger seeped into those eyes. “Those parents could not educate their children well and let their kids bully Essie, so it is normal for them to have to pay the price for it. The consequences await them will only be more severe if they don’t apologiz

  • The abandoned Wife    A Daughter's Advocate

    Pamela had not been paying attention to Estella, and she dared not tell any lies in the face of Lucian’s gaze. Thus, half-way through her speech, she turned to cast a pleading look at Roxanne.Roxanne had planned to talk to Lucian about it anyway, so when her eyes met with Pamela’s, she continued where Pamela trailed off.“The kids crowded around Essie and said something to her. They even stepped on Essie’s hand. Essie resisted, but they pushed her down again. I only intervened when I couldn’t bear to watch it anymore.”Roxanne could somewhat guess what the children had said to Estella, but she did not want to rub salt into the girl’s wound.As Roxanne gave Lucian the explanation, Lucian’s expression turned colder.At the same time, the more Roxanne said, the angrier she became. She questioned, “The intense way the kids bullied Essie means that this has been going on for more than a day or two. Do you really not know anything about this, Mr. Farwell?”Why did he put Essie in a school

    “May I know your last name?” Pamela suddenly looked at her. “Jarvis,” Roxanne replied in a hoarse voice.Once Pamela heard the answer, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly notified Lucian.I’ve never heard of the Farwell family having any relationship with a family with the surname Jarvis. Thus, this woman will certainly not be any relative of Essie. Luckily, I call Mr. Farwell in time to confirm it.However, the person on the other end of the line fell silent after she told him Roxanne’s last name.It made her a little worried, and she wondered if she had done anything wrong.“Get her to wait. I’m heading over right now.”When Pamela was about to apologize, Lucian’s deep voice suddenly rang out.She looked at the woman before her in confusion and hastily agreed.Roxanne noticed Pamela’s gaze and felt her heart drop.After hanging up the phone, Pamela looked at Roxanne solemnly and said, “Mr. Farwell said he’ll be here soon. Please leave Estella to me.”Lucian’s tone on the ph

    Now that Pamela had taken a good look at Roxanne, she realized there were indeed some similarities between Estella and her. Despite that, she still chose to be careful and confirm with Estella. “Essie, is she your aunt?”Estella only wrapped her arms around Roxanne’s neck with her back facing Pamela. Not a single word came from her mouth.Roxanne had no choice but to pat the girl’s head to attract her attention. “Essie, your teacher’s talking to you.”Only when Estella heard Roxanne’s voice did she slowly turn around.Flashing Estella a smile, Pamela repeated her question.To their horror, Estella pursed her lips and shook her head, clearly looking upset.Both Roxanne and Pamela were stunned by Estella’s response.Roxanne knew Estella was mad because she had denied being her mother. However, she could not explain the situation to Pamela either.Pamela thought that Roxanne, the woman who claimed to have a different identity, was extremely suspicious.She picked up her phone again with

    The children got more fearful when they heard Estella calling Roxanne “mommy.” On top of that, the latter did not show any rejection. This lady must’ve seen how we bullied Essie just now.Roxanne patted Estella’s head before lowering her gaze to glance at the surrounding children.“Apologize to Essie!”Her fierce expression made them hang their heads low in guilt.However, the girl who attacked Essie summoned her courage and feigned innocence. “It’s not like that. It was Essie who pushed me first. That’s why—”Hearing the little girl lying straight in her face only brought Roxanne’s anger to a new height. “Why would Essie push you out of nowhere?”When she finished, she suddenly remembered something and reached out to hold Estella’s hand.The moment Roxanne saw the red mark on Estella’s hand, her anger spiked even more. “Did Essie do this to herself, too?”The children exchanged glances, for they never expected Roxanne to have witnessed them stepping on Estella’s hand.Now that her a
