The abandoned Wife Guardian Angels: A Night in the Hospital
Frowning, Roxanne insisted, “I’m fine, and I don’t need special care anymore. It’s unnecessary for you to stay back. You can’t get a good rest here, anyway.”She did not want to owe him anything more than she already did.Her voice sounded awkwardly loud in the quiet hospital ward at midnight.Dead silence filled the room upon her words.However, the man did not seem to have any intention of leaving.She dug her fingernails into her palms as she explained in a slightly friendlier tone of voice, “We aren’t in any relationship. Hence, there’s no reason for you to take special care of me, Mr. Farwell. I actually feel burdened when you do that.”Upon saying so, she gave the man sitting opposite her a solemn look.Never in a million years would Lucian have thought that caring for her would create a rift between them. He was utterly displeased.Yet, there was no way he could just leave the woman alone.After moments of pin-drop silence, he managed to suppress his anger. “Don’t you misunders

Benny nodded his head vigorously. “Archie and I will be obedient boys from now on. Mommy, please don‘t overwork yourself, okay?”With a sullen expression, Archie said nothing. Yet, one could tell that he concurred with his brother on this matter.Roxanne chuckled before replying, “Sure, I‘ll take good care of myself.”Lysa placed a thermal lunch box on the bedside table and said, “Have you had breakfast? I brought some for you both. Hurry up and eat it while it‘s still hot.”Then, she proceeded to take out two bowls to serve them soup and some side dishes.In response, Roxanne nodded. “Thank you so much.”Seeing that Lysa had already prepared the food for him, Lucian could not bring himself to decline her kind gesture even though he had no appetite to eat.Simultaneously, the two of them reached for the bowls, which had been placed side by side. Their fingers then accidentally brushed against each other.Roxanne froze, and she subconsciously looked up at the man, who was coincidentall

It was not even eight o‘clock when they came out of the hospital.Roxanne stretched her stiff body lazily. She was so glad to be breathing some fresh air again after being confined to bed for one day and two nights.Archie and Benny trailed closely behind her just in case anything else happened to their mother.“Ms. Jarvis, why don‘t you head home first to get some rest? Maybe just take the morning off?” Lysa tried her utmost to convince Roxanne not to dive into work right away.The latter grinned and assured her, “I‘m perfectly fine, so don‘t worry about me. After the surgery I did the day before yesterday, I rushed to the kindergarten in my sweaty clothes because I didn‘t have the time to get changed. Most likely, I caught a cold then, which developed into a fever. I promise to be more careful next time.”Subsequently, she bent down and tousled the children‘s hair. “I need to finish up my work at the research institute. Can Ms. Lane take you to your kindergarten today? I‘ll inform M
The abandoned Wife Misunderstood Intentions
“Aren‘t you in a hurry to go to the research institute? Why are you still dawdling?” Lucian could guess her intentions, so he was in a foul mood. Consequently, his tone wasn’t all that amicable. either.Upon hearing that, Roxanne pursed her lips. A moment later, she flashed him a polite smile and stepped forward, saying, “The research institute is just around the corner, so I‘ll walk there.”Suppressing the chagrin within him, Lucian replied coolly, “If Essie were to learn that I had you walk over, she‘d throw a fit at me when she returns.”At that, Roxanne was startled.As long as neither of us speaks of it, how would she learn about it?Nonetheless, seeing as the man seemingly wouldn‘t leave unless she got into the car, she still climbed into the back seat after a moment‘s hesitation.That afternoon, Aubree found her employees looking strangely at her when she was doing the rounds at the office.One of the female employees who are closer to her came over and teased, “Ms. Pearson. Mr
The abandoned Wife Twisted Allegiances
“Who was the woman in the photo?” Gina asked with a frown.Auhree‘s chest heaved violently. She swept an icy gaze over the phone screen without saying a single word.Receiving no response after a long time, Gina pressed, “Who was that woman? Was it that won with the last name Jarvis?”Other than Roxanne, she couldn‘t think of anyone else.At the mention of Roxanne, Aubree replied through gritted teeth, “It was that b*tch all right!”Never mind that she embarrassed me during the banquet back then, but my impending marriage with Lucian is already public knowledge now, yet she‘s still clinging on to him shamelessly! Fortunately, the photos taken by the media are blurry, and not many can tell that it wasn‘t me. Otherwise, I‘d be a laughingstock again!At that thought, her face flushed bright red with fury. Her hands hanging by her sides balled into fists, her nails embedding into her palms.Although Gina had long since harbored that guess, her expression still turned as dark as night when
The abandoned Wife Perplexing Misconceptions
“Where are you going? I’ll give you a ride. I don’t have anything to do tonight anyway, and it isn’t easy to get a taxi here.” Colby’s smile was warm and gentle.Roxanne hesitated for a second. She glanced at the time, only to see that it was indeed time Archie and Benny got off school. Thus, she didn’t decline but opened the car door and got into the car.No sooner had she settled into the car than she received a call from Harvey again, inquiring about the project’s progress.She explained things to him briefly and succinctly.After hanging up the phone, she was just about to put her phone away when a push notification popped out.The headline read: Mr. Farwell drove his fiancée to the hospital in the middle of the night and kept her company the entire night.Seeing that, she inexorably recalled the situation last night and the employees’ discussion earlier. Unbidden, she tapped open the link.Right after doing that, two blurry photos entered her line of sight.The instant she saw th

When Estella saw Roxanne, there would be no way that she would let the latter leave so easily as well.Since the situation was out of the norm that day, the only reason for it would be that Roxanne saw the news.So is she avoiding me because she saw the news?Thinking of that, Lucian felt an inexplicable sense of displeasure deep down.Throughout the entire journey, the atmosphere in the car was depressing.Once they reached home, they saw that there was someone sitting in the living room. At that, Lucian couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly. “Mom, what are you doing here?”After Sonya left the café in the afternoon, she initially wanted to find Lucian for a chat at his office. But after giving it some thought, she decided not to interrupt him at work and headed to the manor to wait for him to come back.She waited for an entire afternoon but never had she expected that he would have such an attitude the moment he stepped in.Sonya, who was initially displeased, became even mor
The abandoned Wife Tangled Expectations
Before Lucian had the chance to reply, Sonya got up and strode off.After sitting in the living room for a while, Lucian instructed Catalina to get Estella down for dinner.Estella had been staying in her room obediently, thinking about what Sonya just said. She was full of anticipation as she fantasized about what it would be like if Roxanne became her mother.During dinner, she couldn’t help but ask, “Daddy, are you going to marry Ms. Jarvis?”She then gazed at him expectantly.Ever since Estella came back, she only said a few words every time although she spoke quite a lot with him. That was the first time that she said such a long sentence to him.Lucian was taken aback before he realized what Estella was asking. As he thought about Estella’s attitude toward Roxanne, he was curious and asked, “Do you like her?”As expected, Estella nodded.I like Ms. Jarvis the most!When he saw the joy on Estella’s face the moment she mentioned Roxanne, Lucian frowned slightly. “What do you like

The abandoned Wife Lucian and Estella's Bonds
On the way to the Farwell residence, Estella puffed up her cheeks as she sat in the backseat. She stared at her father through the rearview mirror. “Daddy, did you make Ms. Jarvis angry again?”Lucian frowned slightly when he heard Estella’s soft and adorable voice.Estella caught on to the change in Lucian’s expression and knew that she had guessed correctly. She snorted angrily.She had thought that Lucian wanted to bring her to meet Roxanne.However, it turned out he had gone to create trouble for Roxanne instead.“I won’t listen to you anymore, Daddy!” Estella said gloomily.Lucian’s frown deepened. He patiently explained, “It’s because of work.”It’s this excuse again!Estella looked at the rearview mirror unhappily and said, “You only know how to lie to little kids, Daddy.”Lucian’s eye twitched in anger when he heard that.Estella continued listing out her grievances. “You also said that to me the previous time! Earlier tonight, you tricked me into bringing you to Ms. Jarvis t

Lucian stared at Roxanne with a grim expression. Even if she did not say it out explicitly, he could tell that she was still being suspicious of him.Realizing that, Lucian’s expression darkened terribly, while the tone of his voice became colder.“Since you are refusing my offer, Ms. Jarvis, I won’t insist upon it anymore.”With that, he turned around and left the study.As she watched his retreating figure, Roxanne’s eyes glinted with an unfathomable emotion. Confusion filled her heart at that moment.Lucian’s words still left her wondering why he had decided to come all the way to see her in the first place.She wouldn’t believe his claim that he was merely here to provide the medicinal herbs.However, Lucian did not mention anything else besides that.Roxanne mulled over it in the study alone, but she could not find an answer to her doubts.After quite some time, she finally decided to leave the room.Meanwhile, the children had finished their dinner and were playing in the livin

Roxanne could feel Lucian’s heavy gaze on her back. Although her back was facing him, she still could not ignore the fact he was staring at her.Due to Lucian’s presence, she was no longer in the mood to eat anything.“You kids go ahead. I have something to discuss with Mr. Farwell,” said Roxanne softly after taking several quick bites and placing away her cutleries.She could not stand having Lucian staring at her all the time, and she wanted to know why he came to her place.The kids did not think too much about that and nodded obediently in response.Seeing that the kids had agreed to let her go, Roxanne stood up and walked over to Lucian. “Let’s talk in the study.”Lucian nodded casually and stood up, following her to the study.“Mr. Farwell, to what do I owe this pleasure of having you over at my place? Do you have something important to tell me?” Roxanne stood in the center of the study, looking at him warily. “If you’re here to offer me the technical advisor’s position for Her
The abandoned Wife Dinning With Lucian
That night, Lucian went to the kindergarten to pick Estella up. It was already late by the time he arrived, so Estella was the only kid left at the kindergarten.“Daddy,” Estella greeted him aggrievedly after noticing his arrival.He patted her head apologetically. “I’m sorry that I’m late.”Then, he looked up and nodded at Pippa.Pippa had waited with Estella the whole night. Now that Lucian had finally shown up, she could rest a*sured and let him take the little girl home.After bringing Estella into the car, Lucian sat idly for some time instead of starting the vehicle.Estella urged him in puzzlement, “Daddy?” Her voice pulled him back to reality.He glanced at the little girl through the rearview mirror and saw a bewildered expression spread across her face.“Have you seen Ms. Jarvis in the past few days?” he asked.Estella became crestfallen upon listening to his question and shook her head dejectedly.However, she quickly turned delighted. “Archie and Benny said I’ll be able t
The abandoned Wife Heartfelt Advice and Unspoken Resolves
Jonathan cleared his throat at Lucian’s lack of response.“I heard a fire broke out in Dr. Jarvis’ research institute two days ago.”Hearing that, Lucian snapped his brows together.Jonathan was satisfied to see his response. “What’s the matter? Did you not know about this?”Lucian nodded, his expression somber.He had not seen Roxanne since the kiss the other night.Therefore, he knew nothing of what happened to her.Although Estella would try to get news about Roxanne from Archie and Benny before telling her father what she learned, Lucian knew that Roxanne would not let the boys know that she had been in danger.Jonathan fell silent when he saw his friend’s grim expression, and he waited for Lucian to speak instead.“Was the fire a bad one? Was she hurt?” Lucian could not help but ask.Jonathan lifted a brow. “Won’t you know if you go and take a look at her?”At that, Lucian’s expression turned dark again.Jonathan was bewildered by that.What does this mean? Did they have a fight

When the a*sistant thought about how Jack had invested twelve billion in Herbscape Group, he found himself unable to continue speaking. Despite everything, twelve billion was a hefty sum.Even if Herbscape Group was a hot potato, keeping it around meant that they would be able to see where the twelve billion was going.If they threw the hot potato away, it would mean throwing the twelve billion into the gutters.“Do tell me how you’re planning to deal with this,” Jack urged with a frown.Jack’s voice snapped the a*sistant back to his senses, and he had no choice but to steel himself and continue.“If we keep Herbscape Group around, I’m afraid it’ll affect Damaris Group’s reputation, so…”Jack arched a brow.The a*sistant squeezed out, “So, the best way to deal with this is to cut ties with Herbscape Group as quickly as we can.”It’s even better if we do it before the news of Herbscape Group’s executives landing in jail spreads.That was what Jack thought as well, though his heart ach

Only after hearing Colby’s response did Roxanne relax slightly. “I see. I’ll leave it to you, then. Feel free to come to me if you need anything,” she said.Colby agreed.Roxanne couldn’t help adding emotionally, “If you can find those medicinal herbs again, you’ll solve a huge problem for me.”Finally, Colby felt chirpy upon hearing Roxanne’s tone.Ever since Roxanne went to the research institute, she had been solving all kinds of problems on her own.She would only let him, the person in charge of the research institute, help her with trivial matters.Therefore, Colby knew that despite her praises, she had always only regarded him as an ordinary researcher at the research institute.After all, he was nothing compared to the men she had by her side.This time around, he was rather surprised at the fact that it didn’t take much to trick Roxanne into holding him in high regard.No one would’ve expected him to do so much just to create a distance between Roxanne and other men.

Jason was regretting what he did dearly. In fact, he regretted it the moment he did it the day before. However, Colby had already locked the research institute up, so he couldn’t salvage the situation, even if he wanted to.That morning, he made the effort to arrive at the research institute to see if there was anything he could do to fix it.However, he was wrong when he thought he had arrived early enough. By the time he arrived at the entrance, the firefighters were already at the scene.Jason couldn’t help but slap himself twice across the face when he recalled the burnt storage and what Roxanne had said.“This is my fault, Dr. Jarvis. I’m so stupid!” Utterly embarra*sed, he asked, “Since I’ve come forward on my own, c-could you please let the matter slide? My son is still in the hospital…”Roxanne dug her fingers into her palms to force herself to stay calm. “That’s not up to me, Dr. Coleman.”“This matter is being investigated by the police. Jason, how could you be so foolish?”
The abandoned Wife The Desperation Pact
In the research area, the researchers had just regained their composure from the fire incident earlier and got back to work. When they saw two people walking in, they stopped what they were doing in unison.With a grim expression, Roxanne swept a glance at everyone and asked, “Did anyone come to the research institute yesterday afternoon?”Coincidentally, the surveillance cameras were down, so Roxanne could only a*sume that someone had gone over at that time.As soon as those words fell, everyone exchanged glances with each other silently. Yesterday was a Sunday. It was such a good opportunity to rest at home. So why would anyone come to the research institute without a reason?
