The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1022

Chapter 1022 Treated You Poorly

The next morning, words about Aubree’s injury became public knowledge. Sonya contacted Aubree to show her concern. “Aubree, I heard you were injured. Is that true?”

Aubree sat on the edge of her bed and stared at her wounded ankle. Her expression was cold, but she replied nicely, “I accidentally fell down, but I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me, Mrs. Farwell.”

Sonya furrowed her brows. “How did you fall? Didn’t you visit Lucian yesterday? Does he know that you’re hurt?”

Aubree sounded conflicted as she responded, “Mrs. Farwell, you should stay out of this.” “He knows about it, doesn’t he?” Sonya immediately guessed.

Every time Lucian mentioned his relationship with Aubree, he would tell me to stay out of it. Even Aubree is saying the same thing now!

At that thought, Sonya grew breathless with anger. “Tell me how you got hurt.” A smug look flashed across Aubree’s eyes as Sonya was close to the truth.

She pretended to be hesitant for a few seconds as if struggling with what to say. “Yesterday, I fell down the stairs as I was leaving Lucian’s place and injured my ankle bone.”

Then, as if she was concerned that Sonya might hold Lucian responsible for her injury, she quickly added, “Fortunately, Lucian had Dr. Elswick treat my injury in time.”

Gina happened to enter her room at that exact moment, so Aubree quickly signaled to her. Gina got her hint and immediately chimed in, “Samuel and I freaked out when we received Lucian’s call last night.”

Sonya sensed something amiss and her frown deepened. “Lucian called you? Where is Aubree now?”

She had assumed that Lucian would let Aubree stay at the manor and look after her since she got injured at his place. After all, it was the right thing to do.
