His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 1257

Chapter 1257

“Lucian, how’s Dr. Jarvis?” Jonathan gingerly asked after they had driven for some distance. It was bad enough that one could cut the tension in the car with a knife, but it was even worse to see a grim-faced Lucian in the rearview mirror. Naturally, Jonathan couldn’t help but wonder if he had imagined the earlier interaction.I remember Lucian being perfectly normal with Roxanne and the kids just now. Why has he done a one-eighty since getting into the car?Alas, Lucian merely shot Jonathan a cold stare and asked, “Where are Aubree and your sister?”“I sent them to the hospital,” Jonathan replied, sheepishly touching his nose as he did.“Take me there.”Left with no other choice, Jonathan sighed inwardly and nodded.D*mn it. I wonder if he’ll take his anger out on our family when he sees Frieda later…After a few seconds of silence, Jonathan composed himself and brought the focus back to Roxanne and Lucian. “By the way, Dr. Jarvis wasn’t hurt, was she?”Lucian shook his head, his expression somber. “No, she wasn’t. I checked.”Then again, so what if she wasn’t injured? Seeing her cry made my heart ache even more!“Aubree must’ve gone after her because of you. Did Dr. Jarvis say anything?” Jonathan probed before getting the nagging feeling that something was off. “Wait a minute… You didn’t piss Dr. Jarvis off again, did you?”Lucian’s gaze darkened when he noticed the difference in his friend’s tone. “No. I won’t do that again.”Jonathan, however, was perplexed by that answer.“I don’t think I can ever forget the previous incident,” Lucian added somberly. “After having experienced the pain of almost losing her, all I want to do now is make her happy.” Seeing Aubree pick on Roxanne only reminded me of how much the latter suffered from her mood fluctuations after she regained consciousness. I don’t want to put her through that kind of ordeal again!Upon hearing his friend’s words, Jonathan felt a wave of relief wash over him. “That’s more like it. If you had realized this sooner, perhaps there wouldn’t be so many problems.”“That’s why I won’t let anyone who has hurt her off the hook!”With that, Jonathan’s heart lurched.Ah, sh*t. Why did Frieda have to do all those stupid things? I’ve warned her time and time again to stay out of Lucian’s private matters, yet she still had to tag along with Aubree. Look what she’s done now! Who knows if Grandpa can take the stress if Lucian unleashes his anger on our family? That’s what scares me the most!Plagued by worry, Jonathan gradually slowed down his driving.Alas, despite doing his best to buy more time, they eventually still arrived at the hospital.Having resigned himself to fate, Jonathan stepped out of the car and led the way.The two men strode into the hospital, and it wasn’t long before they got to Aubree’s ward.The subordinates tasked with looking after Aubree and Frieda immediately greeted Jonathan, “Hello, Mr. Queen.”“Has she woken up?”As soon as Jonathan’s question left his mouth, he heard what sounded like an argument coming from the ward.Knowing it could only be his half-witted sister talking to Aubree, he quickly cleared his throat.As much as he was mad at Frieda, she was still his sister and a part of the Queen family. There was no way he could leave her in the lurch.Besides, if she were to spout any more nonsense, not even he might be able to protect her!
