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

Lucian arched his brow at her body language. “You getting mad isn’t going to change my mind.”Estella furiously snapped her head to him and shot him a death glare.Daddy is the worst! I hate Daddy the most! I like the beautiful Ms. Jarvis and Archie and Benny. Why did Daddy have to fight with her and even forbade Archie and Benny to attend kindergarten?Estella was crestfallen at the thought of never being able to see Archie and Benny at the kindergarten anymore.Daddy is too unreasonable! I don’t want to like him anymore!Estella sulked the whole way back.She ignored Lucian who was trailing after her and dashed up the stairs to her room without one glance back at him. After slamming the door, she even locked the door angrily.Catalina was standing at the door when the father and daughter arrived, so she noticed Estella’s angry mood. When she shifted her gaze to the expressionless Lucian walking behind Estella, she knew they were once again at outs with each other.“Mr. Farwell, what

Roxanne didn’t know how to answer her at that moment.Yesterday, the boys’ teacher did tell me Estella liked following the boys around. However, I neverthought she’ll be bold enough to take a cab to my house alone just so she can play with them. Moreover, she can’t speak. If she met some bad people on the way here…Roxanne didn’t dare to think about what would happen.“Mommy?” Archie and Benny had been waiting inside for a while and didn’t see Roxanne come back in, so they came out to have a look.When they saw the little girl at their front door, they had the same reaction as Roxanne. “What … are you doing here?”Estella was about to scribble in her notebook when Roxanne explained on her behalf, “Essie just wanted to play with you guys.”Archie looked around at Roxanne’s explanation, thinking he would see his dad, but there wasn’t an adult man anywhere.“How did she get here?” Archie flitted his gaze to Roxanne.Roxanne replied resignedly, “She took a cab here alone.”Even I have a

Lucian scoffed internally at the thought of how she had escaped his previous antics. “What do you want?” he asked in the same frigid tone the woman used.Roxanne glanced at the little girl beside her. What’s with that tone? I would’ve hung up right away if it weren’t for the child!“Essie came looking for me first thing in the morning. Come and get her if you’re free. Or you can tell me your address, and I’ll take her there.”Upon hearing that, Lucian furrowed his brows slightly. “Give me your address.”“32, Durwest Garden.”The man hung up right after that.Roxanne breathed an internal sigh of relief as she watched her screen turn black. She turned toward the little girl standing beside her, saying, “Your daddy’s coming over to pick you up. Be a good girl and go home with him, okay?”Estella nodded but secretly began pondering over her next move.She had finally gotten the chance to be with this pretty lady and didn’t want to have to leave so soon.But Daddy’s on his way here.

After Roxanne was done tending to Estella, Archie and Benny returned downstairs while carrying Estella’s gifts.They each had a strange-looking stuffed toy in their hands and walked up to the little girl. “We bought these with our pocket money. You can have them.”The dolls looked adorable yet hideous at the same time and didn’t seem to suit Estella at all.However, this was the girl’s first time receiving gifts from peers her age whom she liked very much. Thus, she joyously accepted the stuffed toys and hugged them more tightly than she did her previous doll.After a long while, Estella finally put the toys down and scribbled a massive word of thanks on her notebook, showing her writing to Archie and Benny.This was the boys’ first time seeing her beam like that.They used to avoid her because she was a child their father had with another woman.But after they saw how adorable she looked, their hearts skipped a beat as they exchanged glances and scratched their heads sheepishly.She’

Slowly, Roxanne squatted to touch the little girl’s head. However, she seemed to have noticed the girl smiling at her.Roxanne’s nose stung. She wanted to apologize to the girl, but the lump in her throat prevented her from doing so.“Get out quickly, Mommy. You’ll see me when you wake up!” the girl urged, tilting her head.Roxanne’s eyes trembled violently.My daughter died long ago… How am I going to see her again once I wake up?Nonetheless, the little girl gave her an urgent push.Archie’s and Benny’s cries traveled into Roxanne’s ears again.After much hesitation, Roxanne finally stood up. Before leaving, she could not help but look back at the tiny figure behind her.The little girl waved.Roxanne forced a smile and marched toward the door.“Mommy!”The children’s cries were becoming clearer.As Roxanne slowly opened her eyes, she stared at the glaring white ceiling with moistened eyes.“She’s awake! Ms. Jarvis is awake!”The specialists who had been waiting by the door stared

Cayden’s heart ached when he heard that. Meanwhile, Estella was staring at him with anticipation through the rearview mirror.Gulping, Cayden forced a smile. “Ms. Jarvis is with Mr. Farwell. You’ll see her later.”Estella’s eyes lit up instantly.Cayden could feel how happy Estella was without turning around, but his heart sank at the thought of what she was about to see later.Shortly after, the car stopped in front of the hospital.Estella had become silent long ago. Clearly, she noticed where they were heading to.Cayden, too, moved stiffly as he uttered, “We’re here, Ms. Estella. Come on. I’ll take you in.”With that, he reached out to help her out.Right then, Estella hopped off the backseat and sped into the hospital.Seeing that, Cayden quickly shut the door and hurried after her.After bringing her into the elevator, he realized her eyes were already reddened. Feeling sorry for her, Cayden looked away for he could not bear to take another look at her face.Thankfully, it did

The specialists’ expressions turned grim when they heard that. One of the reputable doctors hurried over to the bed and performed a series of examinations on Roxanne. When he was done, he shook his head helplessly.“What does that mean?”Lucian’s tone sounded incredibly cold.Meanwhile, Archie and Benny stared fixedly at the adults.In response, the specialist said, “I’ve examined Ms. Jarvis, and she’s showing no signs of regaining consciousness. What you saw just now—her fingers curling—was probably just a reflex of her nerves. She’s trying her best, too, but she needs a final push.”Right as those words left his mouth, the ward plunged into a deathly silence.Only the sound of Benny’s sobbing could be heard.Lucian frowned as he pondered deeply.A final push. Who else does this woman care about that I haven’t thought of?Suddenly, Archie approached Lucian and tugged at the hem of his clothes. “Mr. Farwell.”Hence, Lucian looked down at the boy while trying to lessen the iciness in
The abandoned Wife Roxanne's Struggle: Confronting the Power of Love and Despair
“Mommy…” Knowing that Roxanne was in the hospital room behind Lucian, Benny immediately sprinted forward to go in for a look.Lucian was already distressed because of Roxanne’s condition. At the sight of Archie and Benny in such anguish, another wave of sorrow washed over him. Nonetheless, he still reached out and held Benny back.Anxious to see his mother, Benny struggled desperately. “I want to see Mommy! Mommy!”Despite that, Lucian’s grip on him remained firm.Seeing Benny in tears, the few specialists felt sorry for him.However, if they were to allow Archie and Benny to barge in, the boys would likely throw themselves at Roxanne and wail incessantly. That would be of no help to the treatment.On the contrary, Archie was far calmer than his brother. Although his eyes were also red-rimmed, he merely stood there quietly. “What do you need me and Benny to do?”Mommy has likely been unconscious for a long time. At the very least, she has already been in such a condition when Mr. Law
The abandoned Wife Confronting Roxanne's Condition with Archie and Benny
In the face of Lucian’s accusation, everyone hastily explained, “It’s effective! When you were inside just now, Ms. Jarvis’ brain waves fluctuated greatly!” The look in Lucian’s eyes was frightfully grim. “If so, why is she still not awake?”At that question, the specialists looked at each other. “Because… the stimulation is still insufficient. You must have mentioned something she cares about earlier. We all feel that she’s close to regaining consciousness.”Following that remark, Lucian’s expression turned even colder.It left them without a shadow of a doubt that the man would dismiss them if they were to tarry any longer in offering a solution.“We propose to have Ms. Jarvis’ two kids come and talk to her. Perhaps she’ll then wake up.”The specialist remembered Lucian’s objection a while ago, so he sounded exceedingly cautious.Have Archie and Benny come?A frown marred Lucian’s countenance, and aggravation brimmed in his eyes.She’s now unconscious, but if she were awake, she wo
The abandoned Wife Eternal Slumber: Lucian's Desperate Plea for Roxanne's Awakening
At the specialist’s remark, Lucian finally relented with a frown. This time, two specialists accompanied him into the ward.They monitored Roxanne’s brain waves outside, prepared to notify Lucian when there were fluctuations.Hence, Lucian stepped into the hospital room again.On the hospital bed, Roxanne still showed no signs of waking up.“They said you might wake up if I talk to you.”Lucian walked over to the hospital bed with heavy steps. After a long moment of hesitation, he reached out and took Roxanne’s hand, which lay limply by her side.For once, she didn’t resist. Ironically, he couldn’t muster up any joy from it.As he scrutinized her pale face, his voice lowered. “What would you like to hear?”As expected, he received no response to that question.Lucian chuckled bitterly. Something abruptly occurred to him, and he started, “Seems like there are a lot of misunderstandings between us.”He pondered for a while, his gaze turning distant. “I was sincere back when I said I wa
The abandoned Wife Silent Vigil: Lucian's Struggle for Roxanne's Recovery
“Roxanne.” Lucian couldn’t resist calling out to Roxanne, harboring a glimmer of hope that she would open her eyes and wake up upon hearing his voice.Alas, there was no response from her even after his voice had rung out for a long time.Boring his gaze into her, he leaned down and drew close to the woman on the hospital bed.If she even had a shred of awareness, she would probably struggle to regain consciousness and spring away from him the instant she saw him approaching.But this time, she lay there motionlessly and allowed him to draw so close to her that they were merely inches apart. Still, the tempo of her breathing didn’t even change.Only then did Lucian realize that he hadn’t studied Roxanne in such close proximity in a long time.Her features were still exquisite, but she inexorably looked sickly.Looking at her pale face, a flash of hesitancy flittered across his eyes.A moment later, he slowly reached out and caressed her face with the tips of his fingers.“Are you mad

However, an inexplicable sense of unease swamped Estella. She felt so aggrieved that her eyes turned red-rimmed. “No, I want you, Daddy!” Perturbed, Lucian ma*saged his temples and tried to console his daughter by saying patiently, “Essie… I’ll be home very soon.”Unexpectedly, Estella suddenly demanded, “I want Ms. Jarvis!”At the mention of Roxanne, Lucian’s heart promptly sank.Is this a coincidence? Why did she bring it up today, of all days, when she’s been waiting for Roxanne for days on end?“Be good, Essie. Your daddy is busy with work. I’ll take good care of you.”Hastily cutting Estella off, Aubree brought the phone to her ear, afraid that Estella would burst into tears if she continued with the conversation.If that happened, she would really have no way of explaining things to Lucian.“Go and get busy, Lucian. Don’t worry, for I’ll get Essie home safely!”Naturally, Lucian could hear the agitation in Estella’s voice. But in comparison with Roxanne’s current condition, he

Cayden was still feeling uneasy even after he had successfully picked Archie and Benny up from the kindergarten. For some reason, he felt as though he could see Lucian’s shadow in their eyes when they were staring at him earlier.There’s no mistaking that suspicious look in their eyes. They definitely think I’m hiding something!Sure enough, Archie asked the moment he got into the car, “Mr. Lawson, is our mommy really with Mr. Farwell right now?”Unsure of what to say, Cayden pretended to not hear the boy’s question and continued driving toward Roxanne’s house.“Mr. Lawson, are you hiding something from us?” Benny started questioning him as well.Since they were unable to get any answers out of him, they began coming up with their own theories in the back seat.Fearing that they would end up hitting the nail on the head, Cayden said, “Why would I lie to you two? Mr. Farwell gave Ms. Jarvis a batch of medicinal herbs for her research, so she’s working overtime to take inventory. I thi
