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 abandoned Wife    Unexpected Arrival

    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

  • The abandoned Wife    Preparing for the Consultation

    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

    Upon seeing that, the four adults in the room felt their hearts sinking.As for Daniel, he was so shocked that he hurriedly let go of the little one he was holding before rushing forward.The child on the ground had clearly been startled by his earlier action, and that caused the boy to be struck with a violent seizure.According to their diagnosis, the child had a strange condition where startling him would cause a vigorous chain reaction that would put him in great pain. It was their first time encountering such a case.Daniel had merely been trying to change a method to speed up the medical consultation’s progress. He never expected he would startle the boy.Seeing how the pain was torturing the little child, the expressions of the four adults became grim.Roxanne was the first among them to react. She forcefully suppressed the panic in her as she got up and dispersed the children around Jamie. “Please don’t be afraid. We will now help Jamie to get better. In the meantime, why don’

    While Roxanne was treating the kid, the news of what was going on in their cubicle had spread to the others.Many doctors were surprised to hear that Roxanne actually questioned Daniel’s capability. They also became curious when they heard about how she said there was an alternative acupuncture point that could stop the pain. All of them put their work aside and made their way there.The second they got into the room, they saw Roxanne administering the treatment. They judged her by her appearance and didn’t trust her skills. However, they understood how important it was to stay focused when administering treatment, so they stood there quietly.When they saw that Roxanne’s treatment was actually working, they gasped in astonishment.The acupuncture technique involved was something they had never even heard about.Yet, it was obvious that her technique was more ancient than theirs. No one knew where she could have learned that.They couldn’t help applauding when they heard Jack complime

    Once again, only the four of them were left in their cubicle.Roxanne turned around to see how the kids were doing. Sweetly, she asked, “See, kids? The treatment isn’t scary at all, right?”As soon as she finished speaking, Jamie, who had just received treatment, raised his hand and answered, “It’s true. It doesn’t hurt at all, and I feel so much better now!”The little girl had initially been a bit reluctant to receive treatment, but seeing Roxanne’s attitude toward them made her feel more comfortable. Jamie’s words put her at ease as well. “You’re right. It’s nothing to be scared of. Sorry for backing away earlier, Miss.”The other kids nodded in agreement.Roxanne’s heart melted when she saw that. She crouched down to stroke their tiny heads. “Everybody is doing great. I’m glad you’re not scared anymore. Believe in us, okay? We will make sure that everybody will grow up happy and healthy.”The kids nodded obediently.“Okay, who’s next?” asked Roxanne as she stood up and pointed at

    Roxanne was surprised by her son’s words.

We’re worried that Essie might get bullied, and we won’t be there to protect her.”Roxanne felt her chest tighten at the mention of Estella being bullied.She recalled the incident when Estella had been bullied by her cla*smates when Archie and Benny first entered the cla*sroom.Back then, the boys had stepped forward to protect Estella and helped her to smoothen things over with her cla*smates.However, now that Estella was in a new kindergarten, she no longer had any playmates she was familiar with.

    Meanwhile, Estella and Pamela were the only ones left at the kindergarten entrance. “Essie, who’s coming to pick you up today? Were you always picked up so late in your previous kindergarten?” Pamela patiently clarified the matter with Estella, for it was the first time she had encountered such a situation.Estella pursed her lips in silence as if she didn’t hear Pamela at all.It was never her desire to come to the new kindergarten, and now that she was left to wait for a long time, she couldn’t help but feel depressed.Just when Pamela was wondering whether to give Lucian a call, a car gradually rolled up beside them.Aubree alighted from it with an anxious expression on her face.“I’m sorry for being late, Ms. Yaxley. Traffic was really bad.” After speaking to Pamela, she gave Estella an apologetic look. “I’m sorry to have made you wait, Essie. I’ll definitely come earlier next time!”Estella continued to pout in silence.Seeing that, Pamela defused the situation with a smile. “It

The two of them then went out of the research institute.A look of delight danced across Colby’s face when he saw them leave.Ever since Jack came for Roxanne, Colby had been keeping his focus on the two.Therefore, he saw the look of struggle on Roxanne’s face.Evidently, what he had said in the morning was effective.Meanwhile, Roxanne came to a stop in her tracks at the entrance of the institute with mixed feelings still surging in her heart. In the meantime, Jack stopped behind her.“Sorry.” Roxanne had calmed herself down on their way out and realized that she had been a little too carried away earlier.Jack raised a brow and teased, “What’s the matter? Why are you apologizing to me all of a sudden? You couldn’t have secretly done something terrible to the project, could you, Ms. Jarvis?”Roxanne shook her head immediately. “Of course not.”I’ve done so much for this project. Why would I d

    Estella looked at her father, who was already at the door and turned to look at Aubree, who was still standing by the couch. A few moments pa*sed, and the little girl finally begrudgingly got out of her chair and jogged to keep up with Lucian.Aubree let out a relieved sigh and caught up to them as well.“Daddy,” Estella mumbled. She gave her father a puppy-eyed look and tugged at the corner of his shirt in a bid to curry favor with her father.Lucian lowered his gaze to meet Estella’s. He lifted his hand and patted her head. “I’m really busy lately. Please don’t throw a tantrum at me.”Estella pursed her lips in disapproval, refusing to believe what he said.She knew as a matter of fact that Lucian was in a bad mood because he had quarreled with Roxanne.Estella was flabbergasted that Lucian was still trying to lie to her, despite the fact that even she knew the real reason her father was upset.Why are adults so weird?

    Cory was in a good mood, knowing he had once again made a fortune. He then said, “Of course. Ms. Pearson, I’m sure you’ve come to me again because you believe in my capabilities. Now, tell me. What is it that you want me to investigate?” Narrowing her eyes, Aubree said, “Investigate what happened between Roxanne and Lucian!”Cory let out a meaningful chuckle when he heard what she said.Aubree questioned coldly, “Why are you laughing?”As if unaware of her anger, Cory muttered, “Since you’ve agreed to the price I proposed so readily, I have to show you something.”With that, he took out a phone from the bag beside him and typed away on the screen.Soon, Aubree received a few messages on her phone.“I believe what you’re about to see won’t disappoint you, Ms. Pearson.” Cory sounded confident.Aubree furrowed her brows and swiped open her phone, checking the messages he sent.The chat interface showed that Cory had sent her more than ten pictures.Each picture was attached with the tim

    Aubree followed Estella closely into the room. Hesitantly, she muttered, “Lucian…” She felt somewhat guilty when she noticed the young girl fuming at Lucian.At the same time, she was relieved that Estella had not said a word to her father.Lucian nodded at Aubree and said, “Sorry for troubling you to look after Essie.”Aubree was delighted by his words. She sputtered, “Not at all. I’m happy to do this.

    Archie and Benny stayed in the bathroom for a little while longer before heading out. Roxanne was still chatting with Jack at the time.She had wanted to get him to leave as soon as possible, but Jack started talking about the ancient medicine books halfway through the conversation.Due to Roxanne’s incredible pa*sion for medicine, she couldn’t help but get carried away talking about it again.It wasn’t until Lysa told them dinner was ready that she snapped out of it.“Would you like to stay for dinner, Mr. Damaris?” Roxanne asked out of courtesy.Jack arched an eyebrow when he saw Archie and Benny standing next to the kitchen.They were both glaring daggers at him and looked like they would tear him to pieces if he accepted her invitation.Because they were still kids, they just looked adorable no matter how fierce their expressions were.Jack couldn’t help but smile in amusement as he drawled suspensefully, “Thank you for the invitation, Ms. Jarvis.
