The abandoned Wife Raw Wounds and Unexpected Care
His stare shifted to the direction Jack left and continued in a mocking tone, “Or is it because Mr. Damaris is special? So much so that you want to meet him despite your injury?”Roxanne could sense the hostility in his voice and felt even odder. “Mr. Damaris and I are merely business partners. We met today because we wanted to discuss our collaboration. Please do not make wild guesses, Mr. Farwell!”Lucian’s lips twitched. “It’d better be.”Seeing the mockery on his face caused her to feel a slight pain in her heart. Her expression darkened as she said, “Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Mr. Farwell. However, I have all sorts of medicine here. So, if there’s nothing else, please leave.”Roxanne turned around and staggered back into the mansion without giving Lucian another chance to speak.He grabbed her arm after she took two steps away from him.His cold voice rang next to her ear. “I’ll send you back in.”“No need. It’s only a few steps. I can handle it just fine,” she rejected w

On the other side, Aubree was finally able to leave the hospital after staying there for nearly a month. Lucian only kept her company in the hospital for a few days under his mother’s request. After that, he never showed up again.She contacted him a few times, asking him to visit her. However, he would always use his work as an excuse to reject her.Additionally, two days ago, some of her friends, who had children studying in the same kindergarten, visited her. They told her that Lucian and Roxanne were acting in the Sleeping Beauty play. Not only that, they showed her photos of the play.Inside the photos, Lucian was seen wearing a princely outfit as he stared longingly at Roxanne, who was lying on a wooden bed.Aubree’s friends continued to swipe the screen, showing her photos upon photos of Roxanne and Lucian.Eventually, he was seen sitting by the side of the bed, leaning his body toward Roxanne in order to kiss her.When Aubree saw the kiss, she shoved the phone away, unwilling

He pulled out his phone to check who it was with furrowed eyebrows. The moment he saw the name on the screen, he subconsciously looked at the woman in front of him and met her eyes.Roxanne’s eyebrows tightened a little as she swept her gaze past the phone’s screen and saw the name.It was as though the word “Aubree” was reminding her that she was getting too close to Lucian.When she realized that, she pinched her palm, pretended to be calm, and pulled herself backward. She wanted to put as much distance as possible between herself and him. Her eyes lowered as she pretended that she didn’t exist.In the next second, the vibrating sound stopped.Her eyebrows remained furrowed as she subconsciously glanced at the phone.It was then she saw Lucian had hung up the call and stuffed it back into his pocket.He stared into Roxanne’s eyes, which caused her to be stunned for a second.“I’ve applied medicine to your wound and help bandaged your injury. Don’t you think I deserve some thanks for

It was hard to tell how long Roxanne and Lucian stayed in the living room before her phone rang. It was from Lysa.Roxanne answered the call.“Have you returned, Ms. Jarvis? If not, we can go and pick you up.” Lysa’s voice entered her ears the moment the call connected.Roxanne replied plainly, “I’m already back home. You should bring the children straight back here.”It was then Lysa sounded rather troubled. “Also, Mr. Farwell’s a*sistant is saying that he wants to go home with us…”When she went to pick up Archie and Benny, Estella was still there.The boys insisted they would only leave after she left, so Lysa had no choice but to wait with them.At the end, when Cayden arrived, he said he wanted to come home with Lysa.She couldn’t make the decision, so she called Roxanne.Roxanne glanced at Lucian subconsciously when she heard that.He was acting as though he didn’t hear anything. His eyes remained fixed on his phone without any expression.Seeing that, she hesitated for a few s

She appeared troubled because she had just seen Aubree calling Lucian. If I let Lucian and Essie stay here for a meal, it’ll look like I’m doing it on purpose, especially after what he said…Her intention was to reject her boys’ request, but Estella grabbed her sleeve.It caused her heart to waver as her gaze shifted to the girl.Estella stared at her pitifully. The red in her eyes hadn’t completely subsided yet, which made her look aggrieved.As Roxanne stared into the girl’s eyes, she hesitated, and in the end, she couldn’t reject her.Seeing how she wasn’t getting an answer, Estella turned to her father with red cheeks for help. “Daddy…”Lucian glanced at Roxanne and lowered his eyes to look at his daughter. “Ms. Jarvis has already agreed. You should thank her.”Doubt was still present in Estella’s heart, so she wanted to hear the confirmation right out of Roxanne’s mouth.However, Roxanne couldn’t bring herself to say it. She simply patted the child’s head in silent agreement. The

However, it was obvious Roxanne didn’t want them to worry. Thus, the children didn’t ask any further questions and silently put some food on her plate.She thanked them with a smile.“Ms. Jarvis.” Estella suddenly spoke.Roxanne turned to the girl, confused.“Can you rest properly and get better soon?” The look in the girl’s stare was serious.When she heard Roxanne’s wound open because of all the walking, she wanted Roxanne to rest and get better soon.Upon hearing that, Roxanne was stunned for a few seconds. Then she nodded at the child, unsure if she should laugh or cry. “I know. Don’t worry, Essie. I’ll listen to your advice.”Estella nodded seriously like a small adult.Following that, the boys’ attention shifted to Lucian as they spoke. “Thank you for applying Mommy’s medicine for her, Mr. Farewell.”They proceeded to put food on Lucian’s plate.He didn’t expect they would thank him. With his eyebrow raised, he smiled at them indifferently. “You two need to take good care of you

Lucian had arrived at the Farwell residence with Estella. Since it was getting late, he sent her to her bed to sleep.“Daddy,” she said just as he stood and was about to leave.Lucian halted his movements, turned around, and sat next to Estella’s bed again. “What’s wrong?”It was obvious she was already sleepy, but she still suppressed her drowsiness and looked at her father. “Does Ms. Jarvis like us?”After all, when she went to visit Roxanne with her father, not only did Roxanne not chase them away, but she also didn’t intentionally give him the cold shoulders.Lucian’s eyes darkened when he heard that question. He began to recall how distant Roxanne treated him before the children arrived.“When will we meet Ms. Jarvis again?” Excitement filled Estella’s voice.He remained silent for a second before patting his daughter’s head. “I’ve been busy with my work lately. Once I am freer, I’ll take you to meet her.”It was pretty clear Roxanne was still avoiding him, but the misunderstand

Jonathan’s heart skipped a beat as he wondered what had gone wrong between them. How did Lucian end up broken like this?After a moment, Lucian’s voice rang out as cold as ice. “It would have been better if there was no vacation!”Lucian was the one who had planned the vacation; he had even swapped the winner of the first prize at the last minute.In retrospect, the effort should not have been spent.If the turning point of their relationship had remained as it was at the end of the stage play, perhaps Roxanne would not be rejecting him as she was currently doing so.Even until now, he had not figured out what went wrong during their vacation.Jonathan listened in bewilderment. “What do you mean? Weren’t you happy during the vacation? Didn’t you listen to my advice to let her have her way?”By right, to warm up the relationship, the vacation was the opportunity to patch things up, and nothing could go wrong.As Lucian frowned and recalled the experiences during the vacation, he felt e

The abandoned Wife Family Ties Unraveled: A Heart-Wrenching Encounter
Roxanne had long guessed Sonya would treat her with an unpleasant attitude. Although she was displeased, she didn’t show it on her face.“It’s Essie and Mr. Farwell’s wishes that Essie stays here. As you’re her grandma, I have nothing to say if you want to bring her back, but I hope you respect Essie’s opinions.”Sonya frowned in displeasure.I’ve already asked Essie just now. I wonder what sorcery Roxanne has cast on her to make her refuse to go home. That’s why I turned to ask Roxanne, but I didn’t expect this woman to be so tactless!Sonya was livid.Just then, Estella spoke. “Grandma, I don’t want to go home. I want to stay here and play with Archie and Benny.”Estella looked at Sonya pitifully.Usually, when Estella wore such an expression, Sonya would have gone along with her wishes. However, she was filled with rage right now, so Estella’s look only added fuel to the fire.“You have to go home even if you don’t want to. You belong to the Farwell family. How can you stay at some
The abandoned Wife Unsettled reunion
Ten minutes ago, Catalina had been instructing the rest of the household staff on their chores when she heard the doorbell ring.The moment she opened the door, she saw that it was Sonya.Before Catalina could greet her, Sonya questioned her, “Where’s Essie? Tell Essie to come out. Tell her that her grandma is here.”Catalina was put in a difficult position.Estella had not been in the manor for the past few days.She had thought that the little girl was with Sonya.However, judging from Sonya’s reaction, Catalina knew there and then that Estella was with Roxanne.It was obvious that Sonya must have discovered that, and that explained her anger.As a servant, Catalina did not know how to answer her question. In the end, she replied, “I will inform Mr. Farwell right away.”She was about to go and seek help from Lucian when Sonya stopped her in her tracks.“I want to see Essie. If she doesn’t come down, I will go up myself.”With that, she began to walk upstairs.Catalina had no choice

“Please wait for a moment as Mrs. Farwell is taking a nap. I’ll tell her you’re here.” After inviting Aubree to sit on the couch in the living hall, the butler was ready to go up to call Sonya.Aubree knitted her brows and responded, “It’s okay. I can go up and check on her.”The butler knew Sonya doted on her. He hesitated but eventually agreed to allow her to go upstairs.Aubree responded with a nod. After plastering a smile on her face, she took the stairs and went up.Sonya had just woken up from her nap in the master bedroom upstairs. Upon hearing a knock on the door, she opened it right away.“Mrs. Farwell.” Aubree grinned politely. “I hope I’m not disturbing you.”Sonya, too, responded with a smile when she realized it was Aubree. “Not at all. I just woke up.”Aubree walked up to her and held her arm affectionately. “I brought you lots of gifts. Let’s go down and check them out.”“Aww, you’re too sweet.” Sonya glanced at her. “You didn’t have to do that. I’m happy that you’re h
The abandoned Wife Veiled Schemes
The search lasted the entire morning.The grim-faced Cayden, who returned with his subordinates in the afternoon, said, “We found nothing, Mr. Farwell.”Admittedly, Cory was an excellent private investigator.Cayden could not help but wonder how he had managed to keep in touch with his employers.Not only did Cayden not find any evidence of how the mastermind instructed Cory to spy on Roxanne, but he also could not find proof that could expose Cory’s identity as a private investigator.Cory began playing the sympathy card. “Mr. Farwell, I told you no one instructed me to do anything.”Lucian waited for half a day but did not get the answer he was looking for. His eyes blazed with fury when he saw the pretentious innocent look on the culprit’s face.“If no one put you up to this, why did you stalk her?” he asked.Cory blinked innocently. “B-Because I find Ms. Jarvis attractive. I wished to snap photos of her since I was trying my hand at photography.”He had felt nervous before Cayden
The abandoned Wife Silent Interrogation
Meanwhile, Lucian, too, ordered Cayden to investigate the issue.With Farwell Group’s financial capability, the investigation was carried out effortlessly.In less than an hour, Cayden had managed to bring the private investigator to Farwell Group.It was not until the private investigator was led to Farwell Group’s entrance that he realized something was off.“D-Did I do something wrong? Why did you bring me here?”Cayden cast him a cold glance. “Why are you asking me that? I’m not the one who calls the shots here. You’ll find out soon.”The private investigator’s legs trembled when he heard Cayden’s words.The only person who came to mind when he thought of the person who called the shots for Farwell Group was none other than Lucian Farwell.The private investigator had recently been following Roxanne around on Aubree’s orders. During those times, he had indeed seen Roxanne interacting with Lucian.Yet, he paid no mind to that.After all, he was merely doing as instructed. He did no
The abandoned Wife Unraveling Secrets
Upon hearing that, the doubtful Roxanne and Madilyn exchanged glances.They had spoken to nearly all the research institutes that could develop that specific bacterium in Horington, and only that research institute confirmed that their laboratory had previously lost the bacteria.Although it happened half a month ago, the bacteria could remain viable as long as they were appropriately preserved.Madilyn was aware of that and didn’t hesitate to ask, “How did you guys lose the bacteria back then? Do you guys have any findings now?”The person’s answer did not disappoint them. “One of the researchers should have taken it,” he said frankly.Madilyn was filled with confusion when she heard that.“Although we have no solid evidence, we were certain about that. Two days after the bacteria went missing, that researcher suddenly quit. We haven’t heard from her since then,” the person continued.Before Madilyn could speak, Roxanne asked, “What’s the name of that researcher?”The person on the o

At the side, Estella had her head lifted and gazed at Roxanne, looking hopeful.Roxanne’s gaze flickered. Only after obtaining Lucian’s promise did she forcibly suppress the worry within her.“Got it. I’ll take good care of Essie for the next few days.”Lucian indifferently inclined his head a fraction in acknowledgment. Shortly after, he took his leave and left.Roxanne watched as his car disappeared into the distance before bringing Archie, Benny, and Estella into the mansion.All three children were already starving to the point that their stomachs growled incessantly.Without tarrying, Roxanne prepared some quick and easy breakfast to fill their stomachs first.After having breakfast, she had the children play by themselves while she stood up and went into the study.She simply couldn’t sit back and do nothing about the person who used the bacteria on the children.Worse still, Lucian left Estella at her place. Hence, she wanted to catch the culprit as soon as possible to eliminat
The abandoned Wife Unexpected Arrangements
“Have you and the kids been here?”Lucian came to a stop under a gigantic tree.Stopping with him, Roxanne looked around before shaking her head. “No.”That tree was located at the edge of the woods.Yesterday, she had been with Archie, Benny, and Estella in the woods or by the waterfall.As such, they indeed hadn’t been to that particular spot.Nodding in understanding, Lucian motioned for her to take a look at the bottom of the tree.Roxanne followed his gaze and took a closer look, upon which she made out a vague footprint.From the looks of it, it obviously belonged to an adult.As the footprints moved toward the edge of the gra*sy area, they grew increasingly faint.Therefore, she had no way of knowing whether the owner of those footprints had gone anywhere near the tent.However, it was certain that someone else was there yesterday other than her and the children.In fact, that person had been watching from the side while she was playing with the children.That realization had a
The abandoned Wife Revelation And Resilience
After Archie, Benny, and Estella had dozed off, Roxanne turned off the small night light in the tent.Consequently, the tent was pitch-dark right then, and she had no idea whether Lucian was asleep on the other side.Well, I didn’t hear any movement in a long time, so he has probably gone to sleep.At that thought, Roxanne quietly got up and left the tent. She sat outside under the moonlight alone and stared blankly into space.The weather had been great for the past two days. The moon shone brightly, but there weren’t many stars in the sky.For safety reasons, Lucian had the headlights turned on, illuminating the tent’s surroundings and rendering it like daylight.As Roxanne looked at the scenery around her, her mind gradually began drifting.Too many things had happened that day.At first, the children suddenly contracted a bacterial infection. Then, she inexplicably ended up in the same space as Lucian.Both of the incidents had her emotions turn into a jumbled mess.While she was
