The abandoned Wife Unforeseen Contagion
Meanwhile, although the light in Aubree’s room had been turned off, she had yet to go to sleep. Aubree waited until she saw Lucian carry Estella to the car and slowly drive out of the Farwell residence before tiptoeing around her room to gather some things. Then, she opened the door and crept to Estella’s room.Lucian had left in such a hurry that he did not even close the door to Estella’s room, which only made things easier for Aubree.Using the glow from her phone screen to see what she was doing, she switched out a few things inside Estella’s bathroom. After scanning the room carefully and ensuring nothing appeared out of the ordinary, she left quietly.Back in her room, the thought of the distressed look on Estella’s face filled her heart with glee.That little brat… Let’s see if she dares to go against me again!Meanwhile, Estella’s condition did not get any better as they made their way to Roxanne’s house. She could not refrain from occasionally reaching out to rake her nails

At the sight of Lucian’s condition, Roxanne couldn’t help frowning. Conversely, Estella merely heard that her condition was contagious but didn’t see the red spots on Lucian’s body. She shrunk to the side pitifully, refusing to allow the two adults to touch her further.Gathering her wits about her, Roxanne dipped her eyes. When she saw Estella curled up in a ball, her heart clenched painfully. “Come over here, Essie. Let me have a look at you.”Estella shook her head, replying timidly, “No, it’s okay. I’ll infect you, Ms. Jarvis.”Her words had Roxanne’s eyes stinging. Smiling, she coaxed, “I’m not afraid. I’ve treated patients with similar conditions in the past and have suffered from this condition previously. Therefore, I won’t be infected anymore.”Even Lucian was momentarily stupefied to hear that, mistakenly a*suming that she was speaking the truth.Estella scrutinized Roxanne suspiciously for a long time. Only when she had ascertained that the latter didn’t seem to be lying,

“What’s the matter, Dr. Jarvis?” Colby had just fallen asleep when he was jolted awake by Roxanne’s call. When he glimpsed the caller ID, he immediately answered the call.Hearing his voice, Roxanne furtively breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn’t the time to exchange pleasantries with him, so she cut to the chase. “If it isn’t too much trouble, can you make a trip to the research institute right now?”At that, Colby sat up from the bed. “Is there anything important?”While saying that, he had already started changing without waiting for her reply.He knew that there must be something crucial that she was calling at that hour, but he wanted to know the specifics.Roxanne glanced at the three children in the room, her voice grave. “I have kids here who developed an allergic reaction due to bacterial infection. The spray we formulated back then might be effective, but I’m really needed here. As such, I can only seek your help.”Having said that, she added, “Forget it if it’s too much tr

Fortunately, the spray they formulated worked in no time. Mere seconds after Roxanne sprayed the children all over, they stopped itching, simply in a daze from the high fever.After spraying them all over, she turned and looked at the man behind her. She handed the spray in her hand to him. “Go and deal with it in the bathroom, Mr. Farwell.”Dipping his head slightly, Lucian took the spray and went into the bathroom.Roxanne, on the other hand, opened another bottle of spray and sprayed herself in the bedroom.Having done that, she sprayed the room. Then, she took some disinfectant upstairs and sanitized the room.When she had finished sanitizing the place, Lucian so happened to step out of the bathroom.At the sight of her bustling around in the bedroom, he strode forward with a frown, planning to help.“Carry the kids out. This room has to be left unoccupied for two days,” Roxanne instructed, noticing his intention.Upon hearing that, Lucian swiftly changed directions. He carried t

“What exactly are your thoughts about me?” Lucian’s voice was a touch hoarse.He started feigning sleep right when he heard Roxanne coming out of her room. In his hurry, he forgot all about the blanket he had flipped open halfway.Never had he expected her to actually come over and attempt to tuck the blanket around him.Just a while ago, he was feeling irritable thanks to her relationship with another man, but earlier, his heart melted because of the hint of tenderness she showed him.Roxanne was stunned for several seconds. Promptly snapping back to her senses, she automatically lifted her hands to shove at him. To her surprise, the man’s grip on her tightened, making it so that she couldn’t struggle at all.Lucian’s voice continued echoing beside her ear. “When are you planning to accept me?”At his question, Roxanne’s eyes constricted imperceptibly. Snapping her head to the side, she gaped at the man who was an inch away from her. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her voice turned

Frightened, Roxanne truly did as he said and remained still for a long while. After coming back to her senses, she began struggling again.In the next second, Lucian pinned her beneath him.“I’ve already warned you, but still, you couldn’t stay still. If you were to wriggle around again this time, I wouldn’t be able to make any promises about what would happen.” He leaned close to her, his eyes narrowing dangerously.Roxanne’s heart tightened as she stared at the man’s countenance that was mere inches away from her. She wanted to struggle, but she was worried about his words earlier.Just as she was at a loss, sudden movement sounded from the children’s room out of the blue.Both their breaths caught.As the sounds of the footsteps drew increasingly nearer to the door, Lucian’s brows scrunched together. Dropping his hold on the woman in his arms, he resumed a proper sitting position expressionlessly.Finally, Roxanne was free of the man’s restraint. Before she could breathe a sigh of

After the examination, Roxanne stood up and asked Lucian to leave, not giving him any more opportunity to speak to the kids. “Since it’s already morning, you should hurry up and bring Essie home, Mr. Farwell. You should thoroughly sanitize your house and do it as soon as possible.”There was no room left to object to her suggestion.Lucian raised his brows while wearing an indifferent expression. Then, he gazed downward at Estella.She pouted in reluctance. “You can go back on your own, Daddy.”Estella was still feeling a little insecure after having just recovered from the sudden and severe illness last night.She thought she could spend more time playing with Roxanne, Archie, and Benny that day, but unexpectedly, Roxanne appeared anxious to chase her away right after she woke up.Lucian and Roxanne frowned at the same time after hearing Estella’s words. However, the thoughts that flashed across their minds were entirely different.Before last night, she would have allowed Estella t

Aubree was stunned for a few seconds. Suppressing the panic in her heart, she approached him with concern written all over her face and pretended not to know anything about what had happened yesterday. “Lucian, what’s going on?” Lucian looked at the person in front of him expressionlessly and interrogatively.Things had been chaotic last night. He had only heard Roxanne say that Estella’s symptoms were due to a bacterial allergy.As for where the bacterium came from, he hadn’t had the time to think about it until he carefully recalled what had happened when he was on the way back.Everything had been fine before Aubree arrived at the manor. However, the bacterium had shown up the same time as her.Lucian couldn’t help but suspect the woman in front of him.Aubree’s heart clenched when he glanced at her. She pinched her palm to calm herself down, then asked innocently, “I heard from the housekeepers that there’s a bacterium in the house. It can’t be true, can it? The house is cleaned

Jonathan had wanted to try persuading him further, but Lucian cut him off, “I have a meeting to attend. We’ll talk about this some other time.” Jonathan had no choice but to get up and leave the office.After stepping out of Farwell Group, Jonathan thought about the advice he had given Lucian earlier and regretted every single word he said.If I had known things were that bad between them, I would’ve changed the way I worded my sentences! Now, look what I’ve done! Not only did Roxanne show no interest in Lucian whatsoever, but he has also given up on winning her over! Honestly, I feel really bad for Essie. She really likes Roxanne and wants her to become her mother someday. The best part about this is the fact that Roxanne is her biological mother. However, she’s in for a huge disappointment, as Lucian has already given up on winning her over. There’s only so much a child like Essie can handle…Of course, Lucian had thought about the exact same thing.He showed up outside the kinderg
The abandoned Wife Reevaluating Efforts
Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office of Farwell Group, Jonathan was sitting in front of Lucian with a teasing smile on his face. “I hear a portion of medicinal herbs from Herbscape Group’s overseas branch has been shipped back to Horington.”Lucian simply nodded without saying anything in response.“Back then, I suggested you lend a helping hand, but you refused to do so. Now, look what has happened!” Jonathan continued with a chuckle.I thought he was actually going to ignore Roxanne completely, but he ended up intervening anyway!“Well? How did Dr. Jarvis respond to you lending her a hand?” Jonathan asked.The look on Lucian’s face turned gloomy the moment he heard that.When Jonathan didn’t get a response from Lucian, he slowly came to realize that he had said something he shouldn’t have.From his expression, it’s obvious that their relationship has yet to improve. In fact, it might even have gotten worse. This doesn’t make any sense, though…Noticing the confused frown on Jonathan’s fa
The abandoned Wife Entangled Schemes
“What is it?” Aubree asked with a scowl. Frieda retrieved her phone and showed her a few photos.There was a tent in the first photo. Not far away from the tent was a white skirt.Nothing else was shown, but Aubree’s face was already grim.I know the tent. It was the one Roxanne and the little b*stards set up that day. The white skirt is most probably the one I wore that day.The photo didn’t show anything else, so the person who took the photo was obviously targeting her.In the following photo, Aubree could be seen wearing that white skirt. She was holding a white medicine bottle with an unknown substance inside.The photos showed what Aubree had done that day.Finally, the series of photos ended when Aubree finished positioning the bacterium and made her exit.Aubree’s face was as dark as thunder by the time she scrolled to the last picture.“Where did you get these?” she demanded.Frieda quickly explained, “I don’t know. Someone sent them to me yesterday with a text.”She hurried

The next morning, words about Aubree’s injury became public knowledge. Sonya contacted Aubree to show her concern.“Aubree, I heard you were injured. Is that true?”Aubree sat on the edge of her bed and stared at her wounded ankle. Her expression was cold, but she replied nicely, “I accidentally fell down, but I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me, Mrs. Farwell.”Sonya furrowed her brows. “How did you fall? Didn’t you visit Lucian yesterday? Does he know that you’re hurt?”Aubree sounded conflicted as she responded, “Mrs. Farwell, you should stay out of this.”“He knows about it, doesn’t he?” Sonya immediately guessed.Every time Lucian mentioned his relationship with Aubree, he would tell me to stay out of it. Even Aubree is saying the same thing now!At that thought, Sonya grew breathless with anger. “Tell me how you got hurt.”A smug look flashed across Aubree’s eyes as Sonya was close to the truth.She pretended to be hesitant for a few seconds as if struggling with what to

Lucian’s phone rang when he arrived at the hospital entrance. It was the landline from home.“When are you coming back, Daddy?”Estella’s demure voice sounded from the other end as soon as he picked up.“I’m on the way,” Lucian replied softly. “Go to sleep first, I’ll be home to see you soon.”Estella promised and hung up quickly after that.It was already late at night when Lucian arrived back at his manor.Then, he made his way to Estella’s bedroom as soon as he got home just like how he had promised her.To his surprise, he found the child still awake. She watched him enter indignantly without saying a word.Lucian frowned. “What are you angry about this time?”“You’re back so late!” Estella complained.I would love it if Daddy spent all night with Ms. Jarvis, but he was with Ms. Pearson. I dislike her! Counting in the travel time, it would not take him more than an hour to make it back.Lucian’s brows twitched at the child’s complaint.The child had never complained when I was ou

“Daddy!” Estella urged a moment later when she did not receive an answer from her father. Shaking himself out of his reverie, Lucian nodded resignedly at his daughter.Only then did she let go and watch him go down the stairs.Aubree was beside herself with anxiousness as she waited downstairs and remained in doubt as she watched Lucian descend the stairs.That little b*tch’s private word with Lucian is obviously trying to get him not to send me to the hospital.Aubree was aware that Lucian spoiled Estella and was even delaying marrying her because of the girl.I wonder if I would have to go to the hospital alone because of her.Aubree could not quell her racing heart, even when Lucian stood firmly before her.Lucian turned to address the family doctor. “I must trouble you with Ms. Pearson, Dr. Elswick.”Aubree’s eyes widened at those words when she realized she was correct in her hunch that he did not intend to keep her company.“Do you hate me that much, Lucian?” Aubree hung her he

Sorry, I… was thinking about something earlier, so I accidentally missed the step,” Aubree murmured in feigned contrition after Catalina had helped her onto the couch. Standing behind the two of them, Lucian said nothing to that.Aubree’s heart sank, and she hypocritically remarked, “I probably twisted my ankle by accident. Let me rest for a while before going over to Mrs. Farwell’s place to tell her about your condition.”Having said that, she acted as though she was afraid that he would worry and flashed him another smile.She initially thought that her comment would garner the man’s sympathy.At the very least, he would allow her to stay over that night.To her disappointment, Lucian merely bobbed his head blithely. Subsequently, he crouched before her.For a moment, she was at a loss.A heartbeat later, a sharp pain came from her ankle, upon which her expression instantly changed.“Does it hurt?” Lucian queried in a deep voice, a hand grasping her injured ankle.Gritting her teet

Lucian cast a look at Archie and Benny indifferently. A strange feeling inexplicably welled up within Archie and Benny when they met his gaze.The look in Daddy’s eyes when he regards us seems to have changed.In fact, they felt that the man seemingly didn’t want to look at them for long, his gaze only staying on them for a brief moment before leaving in the next heartbeat.“Mr. Farwell?” Benny couldn’t help venturing.Lucian merely inclined his head a fraction. “Ms. Ward will wait with you both.”Having said that, he held his hand out at Estella once more.Estella was reluctant to leave, but she could tell that her father appeared to be angry.After a moment’s hesitation, she ultimately reached out and took his hand.Archie and Benny, on the other hand, could only quieten down and watch helplessly as Lucian left with Estella.“Is Daddy mad at Mommy, Archie?” Benny stared at his brother pitifully.Archie remained expressionless, but disappointment glinted in his eyes.That was also t
The abandoned Wife Unspoken Resentments
At a single glance, Jack saw right through his parents. Exasperation inexorably swamped him. “Since you’ve investigated Ms. Jarvis, I’m sure you already know that she’s an exceedingly outstanding doctor.”With regard to that statement, Titus and Priscilla had no rebuttal.During the investigation, they had already learned that Roxanne studied under Harvey and was even his top student.That alone was sufficient for them to acknowledge her medical attainments.However, that didn’t mean they could accept the fact that she was a divorcee with kids.Jack could tell that his parents were still influenced by public opinion, so he had no choice but to continue explaining things to them helplessly.“I reckon you’re both aware of the project the Damaris family established recently.”In response, Titus and Priscilla nodded noncommittally.Despite being away from the Damaris residence most of the time, they still kept themselves informed about the Damaris family’s activities.At that, Jack nodde
