last update ปรับปรุงล่าสุด: 2025-03-24 15:47:32

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

  • The abandoned Wife    Unspoken Agony: Lucian's Desperation for Roxanne

    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

  • 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

  • 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

    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    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 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

    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

    “Lucian, I’ve been married to you for three years, but you’ve never once touched me. I’ll give my blessing to you and your first crush by giving up on our marriage. Tomorrow, you’re free to go after her. But for now, just make it up to me for my feelings for you all these years, please?”With that said, Roxanne Jarvis leaned down and pressed her lips to the man before her as though she was a moth drawn to fire. Her action was both frenzied and desperate.She knew this was a despicable move, but she had loved him for too long.All the while, she had suffered greatly, and now, all she wanted was a little consolation.“Roxanne, how dare you!”Lucian Farwell clenched his jaw as his fury sprang to life. His handsome face was as black as thunder.He wanted to push her away, but the mounting desire in his body was too overpowering. It threatened to burn away all his capacity for reason.How dare she scheme against me?“I’m afraid of nothing…”A lone drop of tear slipped out of the corner of

    The seconds continued to tick by, but the doors to the emergency room remained shut. Lucian’s heart grew increasingly heavy as he waited in the silent corridor outside.There are at least five specialists in there! What is taking them so long? How is Roxanne doing? Maybe I should just open the doors and go check on her! No, I can’t do that! I need to be rational here. Stay calm, Lucian…Having dismissed that thought, Lucian slumped weakly against the bench in the corridor.It’s just like what the director said. Roxanne is a doctor who has saved countless lives in the past. She is kind, so I’m sure she’ll be all right. For the sake of the two kids, she will definitely do whatever it takes to make it through!He was snapped out of his train of thought when his phone started ringing all of a sudden.Thinking that it could be something important, Lucian quickly whipped his phone out of his pocket.However, his face sank when he saw Aubree’s name on the caller ID, and he declined the call
