The abandoned Wife The Wounded Innocence
Roxanne had nowhere to go after fleeing the room, so she hid in the stairwell.As she leaned against the wall and panted, she reached up to touch her aching lips. It felt as if the man’s warmth was still lingering on them.A moment later, Roxanne lowered her eyes self-deprecatingly.It had been many years, and she thought she had no feelings for Lucian anymore. Yet, after just one meeting with him, the man was wreaking havoc in her mind again.After a while of recomposing herself later, Roxanne returned to the room.The workers inside were still partying away, and they only became a little quieter when she entered.Noticing that her mood seemed to have changed since she left the room, Colby furrowed his brows. “Why did you leave for so long? Did something happen? It’s… like something’s off with you.”Roxanne gave him a nonchalant smile and shook her head. “It’s nothing. I gave my son a call.”With that, she took a seat, not letting Colby ask her anything else.Roxanne had left for qui
The abandoned Wife Unraveling Ties
Once the two boys were upstairs, the smile on Roxanne’s face slowly faded.Madilyn turned off the television and inched over to ask in concern, “What’s the matter? Something on your mind?”After a moment of hesitation, Roxanne told Madilyn a lighthearted version of what happened earlier. “I met Lucian when I was having dinner just now.”There was no one but Madilyn who Roxanne could talk to about what happened six years ago.Upon hearing that, Madilyn froze. Then, she whispered, “What kind of fate is tying you both together? Horington is such a big city, and I thought the chances of the two of you meeting would be close to zero if you’re not actively seeking each other out.”Roxanne lowered her eyes, seemingly deep in her thoughts.“So, what are you thinking about after meeting him?” Madilyn continued querying.The corners of Roxanne’s lip turned down. “What can possibly be on my mind? My relationship with him has ended six years ago. We’re nothing but strangers now. I won’t be affect
The abandoned Wife The Unwelcome Encounter
After Lucian said those words, he looked away from Aubree’s face.He had decided to marry Aubree back then to repay the favor her grandfather had done for them.That was why he interacted with the Pearson family so closely. That was also why he had agreed to marry Aubree when the elders of the families suggested it.In fact, for a while, Lucian was sure that Aubree was his first crush.That lasted until six years ago when that woman left without saying anything. It was then he realized that the feeling he had for Aubree was not love as he initially a*sumed.After that, the elders of both families kept urging him to marry her, but he had found all kinds of excuses to delay the wedding.In those six years, he had also done everything he could to a*sist the Pearson family and agreed to all kinds of business requests they made to repay them for the kindness back then.Now, it seemed like he had done more than enough to repay them for that favor back then.At the very least, it was enough f
The abandoned Wife New Opportunities: The Queen Family's Offer
“An increment of two percent?”Colby stiffened. “Ms. Pearson, haven’t we come to an agreement the other time? We’re now about to sign the contract, so why are you increasing the price all of a sudden;”At his shocked response, Aubree folded her legs and replied, “Indeed, we’ve agreed on it, but almost everything in the crude drug market has risen in price this year. If we were to sign the contract with the price we previously agreed on, we’ll be suffering a loss too great. Dr. Galloway, please forgive us.”She made it seem so rational.Colby’s expression tensed. Just as he frowned and was about to say something else, Roxanne stopped him again.“Ms. Pearson, you must want to suddenly raise the price because you saw me. I know the prices in the crude drug market well. We can have a negotiation if you want to increase prices, but raising it by two percent right here and now is far too unreasonable.”Roxanne wanted to be professional, but clearly, Aubree did not. Hence, there was no need
The abandoned Wife Unexpected Encounter: The Queen Family's Concern
Roxanne’s eve’s glistened with hope and she felt the boulder being lifted off her shoulders. “Why didn’t you say this earlier? That’s a great thing!”Colby beamed. “I thought about it, but admittedly I’m not good enough. Besides, you were not bere back then. Hence, I gave up and never thought about it until now. Perhaps you can give it a try. What do you think?”“Of course! Not a problem at all!”Roxanne confidently stood up to urge him. “Please help me contact the Queen family and help me make an appointment with them.”Looking at Roxanne’s passion for matters that concerned the research institute, Colby’s heart surged with a sense of relief. He smiled and said, “I’ll do that now. Wait for me here.”Then, he exited the office and pulled out his phone.Meanwhile, Roxanne sat quietly in the office and waited.Irrespective of how complex the treatment would be, Roxanne was determined to cure old Mr. Queen.Soon after, Colby returned.“How did it go?” Roxanne eagerly asked.Colby nodded.
The abandoned Wife Unspoken Tension: Roxanne's Assessment
Roxanne didn’t mind that at all. When she heard the apology, she smiled.“It’s fine. After all, you two are his family members. I understand that you have concerns. However, I assure you I’m capable. I may be young and, I might not look like a doctor with years of experience under my belt, but I’ve researched many complicated diseases abroad. My experience isn’t as plenty as doctors who had been in the profession for decades, but I’mconfident in my abilities.”When she finished, she pulled out a document from her bag and handed it to Jonathan. “This contains my achievements over the years. You can take a look jourself before deciding if I’m qualified to treat Old Mr. Queen.”Jonathan didn’t expect she would be that prepared.When he reprimanded Frieda earlier, he himself didn’t trust Roxanne that much either.However, after seeing how confident she appeared and spoke, it was enough to convince him that she was capable even without looking at her credentials.Still, his responsibility
The abandoned Wife Roxanne's Treatment: Unwelcome Intervention
Jonathan was taken aback when he saw that.If she’s doing that, it means she practices traditional medicine. It’s hard to believe she’s using such a simple diagnostic method on him.The Queen family had hired medical practitioners of all kinds to treat Alfred’s condition, so he had personally seen different medical techniques being applied to Alfred.That was the reason he was shocked by Roxanne’s action. It was a very simple technique to diagnose Alfred’s condition. Still, he didn’t say anything.She sat next to the bed, holding Alfred’s wrist. Her eyes were lowered as she focused entirely on the activities of his pulse.The more she observed his pulse, the more she was shocked.She thought his condition was severe enough when Colby described it.However, Alfred’s actual condition turned out to be even worse.During her diagnosis, she noticed Alfred’s breathing was so weak that any breath could be his last.After a while, Roxanne let go of the old man’s hand with a heavy expression a
The abandoned Wife Lucian's Defense: Unexpected Support
Before Roxanne could react to the situation, Lucian supported her by the waist and stabilized her body.When she raised her head, she saw his dark eyes.As their gazes met, Roxanne’s body stiffened. Then she quickly looked away before standing back up by propping her hand on the bed and supporting herself.He had grabbed her subconsciously when she fell. However, when he saw her avoiding him like the plague, the look in his eyes darkened. And so, he quickly withdrew the hand from her waist.“How dare you say you researched complicated diseases before! Is this the result of your research? I think those credentials of yours were bought!” Frieda didn’t notice what was going on between the two of them and was still angry at Roxanne.She stared at Jonathan furiously. “I think she’s a liar, Jonathan! We need to kick her out right now!”When Roxanne heard that, she quickly snapped back to her senses and mocked, “No wonder Old Mr. Queen’s condition became so severe. It seems like someone’s be
