The abandoned Wife Family Bonds and Unspoken Struggles
Archie and Benny exchanged gazes when they saw Estella in such a state. They found her cute yet pitiful at the same time.“We weren’t feeling well this morning. We’re much better now. Don’t worry,” Archie reassured earnestly.Benny turned to Essie and made a face. “Look at you, all scared like that. We’re just taking a day off. Can’t you be away from us for just a day? You little minion.”A sense of relief washed over Estella when she heard their words, and she broke into a smile.Lucian, who was standing at the entrance of the dining room, looked conflicted when he saw Estella finally smiling,It took me so long to coax hcr, yet it was nothing compared to the trio’s words. Not only did she stop crying. she even smiled.After standing there for some time and watching the boys making Estella grin from ear to car, he stepped into the room, wanting to take her home.They had only come over because Estella wanted to confirm things with her own eyes. Now that it was done, it was time for t

Estella hesitated momentarily before nodding gently.Seeing her admitting to it, Lucian frowned. “Why didn’t you tell me?”Estella shuddered and inched closer to Roxanne, feeling frightened.Roxanne cast Lucian another displeased glance when she saw Estella’s reaction.The kid’s injured. How could he still speak to her in such a tone?“Does it hurt a lot?” Retracting her gaze, Roxanne held Estella’s hand and massaged it gently.Estella pursed her lips and nodded.“You’ll be fine. I’ll help you to apply medicine. It won’t hurt in a while.” Roxanne gently released Estella’s hand and instructed her boys, “Keep her company. I’ll get the medical kit.”The boys nodded immediately and started taking turns telling Estella some interesting things..Soon. Roxanne returned with the medical kit, and she carefully applied some medicinal creamonto Estella’s hand.Estella was well-behaved throughout the entire process. When it hurt, she would only shrink away a little and would quickly place her ha

Estella was working with the boys on the final stages of a Lego project they had been working on together.Having already assembled a section, the children were struggling with the height of where it was supposed to be attached. Roxanne was usually close by to lend a hand after the preliminary assembly was completed on the ground.As she was busy with the dishes at that moment, the children stood around, figuring out how to circumvent that obstacle.After a glance around, Archie decided to bring a chair from the dining table.“Here, let me.” Taking pity on the children, Lucian softened his expression to the best of his ability and offered Archie a hand.Archie hesitated for several seconds before handing the assembled part in his hands to the man. Following Archie’s instructions, Lucian took it and snapped it in place.“Thank you,” Archie said gruffly.Lucian nodded noncommittally. With one hand in his pocket, he mostly watched the three children amuse themselves with the toy bricks

Roxanne sighed in secret relief when he finally let go of her hand. She leaped up as soon as she could place some distance between them. “Thank you, and sorry again for troubling you.”The man frowned slightly at her words but did not respond.Roxanne glanced at the mess on the kitchen floor and made to get up.“What are you doing?” The sullen voice sounded again.Roxanne froze. “The floor needs cleaning up,” she said. “The children might step on the shards.”Lucian’s scowl deepened.Despite this woman’s stellar credentials, she can’t even take care of herself!Roxanne grew anxious at the man’s gloomy expression, not knowing what she had done wrong this time.Could it be because of the trouble she had caused him earlier?After careful consideration, Roxanne was about to apologize when he spoke again.“You can’t get your bandage wet. Let me find you a housekeeper.”Without giving her a chance to respond, Lucian gave his assistant a call.After his dinner, Cayden was about to wash up an

Aubree, seated on the couch, leaped to her feet when she saw them crossing the threshold. She bent down and tried to touch Estella’s head, which the latter did her best to avoid.Aubree’s eyes flashed with displeasure, which she quickly hid by straightening up with a smile.“What’s the matter?” Lucian studied her intently. His tone remained indifferent.Aubree gave him a casual smile. “I want to thank you again for lending us someone today. You helped us out of a jam there, and Dad had me come over to offer our gratitude personally.”She was going to add something else after a brief pause, but Lucian cut her off, “Is the matter resolved?”Aubree was momentarily dumbfounded by his bluntness. She nodded with a smile that now seemed rather forced. “Well, the little trouble we had kept us busy until the afternoon. I hope it didn’t interfere with your business.”Lucian nodded. “There are plenty of employees in Farwell Group, and the absence of one wouldn’t make a difference. There’s no nee

Thankfully, Lucian wasn’t insistent and put his daughter down on the ground as she wanted. However, just as he was about to reach for Estella’s hand, he realized she had already scampered away.For a moment, Lucian was stunned as he subconsciously turned to look behind him.To his surprise, he saw Roxanne and the rest smiling fondly at Estella, with the former even walking toward the little girl.It was a rare sight as Estella ran toward the school’s entrance while waving wordlessly at Roxanne and the boys.Seeing that the little girl was too caught up in the excitement to care about road safety, Roxanne quickly rushed over to hold her hand. When she saw Lucian walking calmly toward them, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of helplessness.Estella grinned from ear to ear as she held Roxanne’s hand. Once they stopped walking, she even hugged the latter’s leg affectionately.Archie and Benny weren’t jealous either and greeted Estella with big, friendly smiles.When Lucian finally came t

By the time the treatment was over, Frieda had also returned home.Upon finding out from the butler that Roxanne was treating Alfred, she made a beeline for the latter’s bedroom.“Grandpa, how are you feeling?” Frieda asked concernedly the moment she stepped into the room.Alfred nodded slightly. “Much better.”Having lived for so long, he had gained an understanding of how traditional medicine worked and had also consulted countless famous doctors.Roxanne, however, had come as a delightful surprise to him.After each course of her treatment, Alfred would always feel a significant improvement in his health, which was something that not even the best doctors in the world could achieve.Frieda looked her grandfather over and finally nodded with a smile. “That’s good to hear.”Then, she turned to Aubree and added, “Have you come to visit Grandpa too, Aubree? Since it’s getting late, why don’t you stay for dinner?”Naturally, Aubree had no objections to that and grinned broadly. “In that

Frieda glanced at Roxanne and was surprised to see her still so calm and composed. Hence, she turned to Aubree and said with a lilt to her voice, “Aubree, you and Lucian look so much in love! Have you picked a date for your wedding yet? I’m still waiting to be your bridesmaid!”As soon as those words were out, Roxanne froze in her tracks.Huh? What did she mean by that? Are Lucian and Aubree not married yet?Aubree, too, felt her smile freezing in place. After all, she hadn’t expected Frieda to bring up the wedding right there and then.Just as she began thinking about how best to change the topic, she felt Alfred’s concerned gaze on them. “That’s right. The two of you have been together for so many years. Even Estella has grown up too. Isn’t it time to settle down?”“Yes, you guys should’ve gotten married a long time ago. I don’t even know why you’ve dragged it on until now,” Jonathan teased.For a moment, everyone had their eyes on Lucian as they waited for his response.However, in

The abandoned Wife Doubt and Allegiance: Unraveling the Truth
Roxanne was rendered speechless at that. After all, it was indeed true that the three of them had been in charge of the project since the beginning.Naturally, I wouldn’t shoot myself in the foot, so that leaves only Jack and Colby. That being said, I don’t want to doubt any of them since one of them is the project leader while the other is my longtime partner.Seeing how adamant she was, Lucian felt his anger rise. “If I remember correctly, Jack had something to do with the fire incident at the research institute previously as well.”Hearing that, Roxanne gave him a confused look. Why would he say something like that?She then said, “Mr. Damaris left after delivering those medicines, so what do you mean when you said that incident has something to do with him?”Not wanting to get into an argument with Lucian, she reined in her temper and added gently, “You of all people should know how those medicines came to be, so why would Mr. Damaris do something that won’t benefit him at all?A

After a long pause, Lucian tamped down the emotions in his eyes and said calmly, “I’ve asked the specialists to check on you. They’ll be here soon.” No sooner had he said that, several specialists came rushing over.They were horrified when they saw Roxanne sitting up in the hospital bed. “Ms. Jarvis, please lie down quickly. There’s still residual toxins in your body that has yet to be flushed out. We want to perform a check-up on you, then prescribe some targeted medication.”She was very clear-headed when it came to her condition, and she replied, “There’s no need for that. It has been cleared.”The others frowned, their expressions reflecting their disbelief. “How is that possible?”We all saw for ourselves how serious her condition was yesterday. How could she have gotten better after just one night’s sleep?Roxanne merely smiled and did not say anything.Utterly incredulous, a few of them stepped forward to check on her.After they did so, everyone could not help but feel dumbf

Roxanne patted Archie’s and Benny’s heads soothingly. “Mommy, how are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort?”Archie and Benny stared at her with concern.Roxanne could see her pale expression reflected in her children’s eyes, so it was completely understandable that they were really worried.Roxanne stated apologetically, “I’m all right now. I must have scared you guys yesterday. I’m sorry for that.”Benny reminded her in his childish voice, “You have already apologized to us yesterday! Also, we don’t need you to apologize because we only want you to be healthy and well!”Roxanne felt touched by their words, and a smile spread across her face.“Essie is also worried about Mommy. She was so scared she burst into tears when she dreamt that you fell unconscious.”When Benny noticed Estella hiding behind the other children, he took a step back so Roxanne could see her.Estella’s head was lowered as she sneaked a peek at Roxanne.She remembered Roxanne flatly refusing to let her call t
The abandoned Wife Echoes of Compassion: Healing Hearts and Minds
The following morning, Roxanne had already woken up by the time Lucian did. Her brows remained furrowed while she removed the needles for herself. Lucian glanced at his empty palm, then shifted his gaze to look at the woman before him. In a hoarse voice, he asked, “When did you wake up? Why didn’t you wake me up?”Roxanne was too focused on the task and only realized the man was awake after hearing his voice. She hesitated for a moment, then continued with what she had been doing.“You look like you were sound asleep. Besides, I am feeling better now, so I didn’t wake you up.”She did not spare the man a glance as she spoke.It was worth noting that Roxanne felt as if it was like a dream when she woke up to the sight of Lucian taking a short rest while holding her hand tightly earlier.But soon after, the memories of what happened last night while she was half-asleep came to her mind.She knew very well it was not a dream. Lucian had indeed taken care of her for the whole night.For
The abandoned Wife Whispers of the Heart: Bonds of Love and Family
It was Lucian’s second time hearing Estella addressing Roxanne in that way in the period of merely one night. When Lucian saw the girl’s timid look, he frowned but could not bring himself to say anything to her.Once Estella realized her father was not asking her to change the way she called Roxanne, her eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Archie and Benny with delight on her face.If Roxanne had not been asleep, the children would have cheered out loud.Confusion danced across Lucian’s eyes at the sight of their happiness, but he did not ask them any questions. The only thing he said was, “It’s getting late, so hurry back to sleep.”After making sure that Roxanne was fine and receiving the unexpected surprise, the children quickly agreed to that and followed Lucian out of the ward.After sending the children back to the ward next door, Lucian found his heart skipping a beat as he looked at the way they were staring at him.I think I know why they’re happy now.“Daddy.”Estella wa

Roxanne was someone who knew how and when to keep a distance from others. Even if she were to find out what happened that night, she would only a*sume that Lucian was being helpful by stopping Jack.Lucian was certain about that.Jack paled.“I just want to take a look at her. Also, there’s something I want to ask her about,” Jack said, wanting to find out more about the situation this time.However, seemingly having read his mind, Lucian uttered, “The three of us are the only ones here. There’s no need for you to put up a show, Mr. Damaris.”Jack frowned in confusion. “What are you talking about?”“I’ve already gotten my men to look into it. There were only three people who were involved in this experiment at the research institute.” Lucian’s tone was cold as he spoke. “The other person has been working with Roxanne for many years. I doubt he has the need to do something stupid like this. Therefore, you’re the only suspect left.”Jack was taken aback.He never thought that someone w

Jonathan brought the children to the restaurant and ordered a bunch of food for them. However, they didn’t appear to have any appetite.“I thought you all were hungry?” Their reaction confounded Jonathan.In response, Estella slowly took a bite of a dessert. I’m not hungry. I just don’t want to stay with that bad lady. Why is she still hanging around the hospital after Daddy asked her to leave?Archie and Benny were also pretty distracted.They only left with Jonathan because they wanted to give their parents some private time.Nonetheless, ever since they left the hospital, they started to regret their decision because they recalled their parents always argued whenever they spent time together.They were afraid the same scenario would occur again.“You three aren’t actually hungry, am I right?” Jonathan grinned when he saw through them.In response, the children lowered their heads guiltily with tightened fists.A tinge of confusion flashed past his eyes when he saw the children act

“Roxanne?” Lucian’s heart wrenched as he walked over to the hospital bed and called out softly to the person lying there.However, Roxanne’s eyelids were heavy. She wanted to respond but lacked the energy. Sleep was all she wished for.Lucian grew increasingly gloomy as she became more drowsy.After a long time, he angrily opened the ward door and glared at the specialist waiting outside.“M-Mr. Farwell…”One of the specialists had stayed behind and waited outside the door just in case, following Roxanne’s sudden headache earlier.The specialist did not expect that he would have to face the furious Lucian alone, and he shuddered internally.Lucian’s face clouded over. “What injection did you give her? Why is she so sleepy after the shot?” he asked.When the specialist heard that, he exhaled in relief before a*suring him, “Well, this is because Ms. Jarvis was tormented by pain for the whole day and also suffered a drastic change of emotions earlier, we added some sedatives to the pain
The abandoned Wife Fragile Bonds: A Journey Through Pain and Understanding
Lucian couldn’t hear what Jonathan told them, but he did notice the rapid change in their facial expressions. It didn’t take long before Jonathan successfully convinced the kids to go with him.“I’ll take the kids out for a meal and bring them back here in a bit. You should go keep Dr. Jarvis company!” he said with all three of the kids standing next to him.Lucian nodded. “Thanks a lot.”Jonathan simply let out a casual chuckle and led the kids into the elevator.There was still a hint of doubt in Lucian’s eyes as he watched the elevator doors close, but he figured it would be safe to entrust Jonathan with the kids.After taking a few seconds to recollect himself, Lucian turned around and made his way into the ward.Unbeknownst to him, Roxanne had heard his footsteps from inside the ward. Realizing that Lucian was coming in alone this time, she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.“I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. I can’t force you to accept me after this incident,
