Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1701

Chapter 1701 I Can Save Myself

“Madilyn. She's worried about me and kept asking how I'm doing,” Roxanne replied with a smile.

Lucian nodded and asked casually as he sat down beside the bed, “I noticed that one of the doctors was out when I arrived. Did he tell you where he was going?”

The smile on Roxanne's face was frozen in place when she heard that.

She wasn't expecting Lucian to even notice such details, let alone ask about it.

After taking a few seconds to regain her composure, Roxanne replied as calmly as possible, “I'm not sure. I'll be fine as long as there are people around. It doesn't matter if one or two of them step away for a bit.

She then let out a helpless sigh and added, “I've already regained consciousness, so you don't need to have so many of them standing by. You should let them head back and get some rest.”

Lucian seemed to be in deep thought as he retrieved an apple from the grocery bag and slowly peeled it.

Knowing Roxanne, she wouldn't ask for desserts immediately after recovering, let alone have me buy them from a store so far away. I know she probably needed some time alone, but I can't seem to figure out why... Hmm... Her reaction and that of the experts outside the ward all seem rather suspicious. She must've told them something while I was out earlier. Given the situation at hand, her poisoning is the only possible thing they could've been talking about.

The look in Lucian's eyes turned gloomy at the thought of that.

He stopped peeling the apple and stared solemnly at Roxanne as he asked, “Is it true that the poison has been completely removed from your body?”

Roxanne let out a helpless chuckle after a brief pause. “You noticed?”

She knew she wouldn't be able to hide it from Lucian for long, but she didn't think he would find out so soon.

“I was planning to tell you after I had found a way to neutralize the poison. I'm sorry I lied to you after promising to not keep secrets from you just earlier,” she continued with an apologetic look on her face.
