The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1023

Chapter 1023 Why Are You Here

Aubree gathered her thoughts and nodded. “Tell her to come upstairs.” “Okay.” Gina went downstairs to tell Frieda to head to Aubree’s room.

Frieda had learned about Aubree’s injury early this morning. She quickly made her way to the Pearson residence, as there was still something weighing on her mind.

Upon receiving Gina’s approval, she hastily ran upstairs. “Slow down. Why are you in a hurry? My injury isn’t that serious.” Aubree feigned concern, as she could hear Frieda running along the corridor outside her room.

The footsteps in the hallway suddenly came to a halt. Frieda stood outside the bedroom door. She looked down at her phone, then at the door, and hesitated for what felt like an eternity.

When Aubree came to the door hopping on one foot, she finally snapped out of her reverie. “Why are you standing outside?” Aubree sounded displeased.

Had the earlier phone call with Sonya not been successful, Aubree would not have taken the time to open the door. Frieda forced a smile, padded into the bedroom behind Aubree, and closed the door carefully.

After confirming the door was shut, Frieda hurried into the bedroom and sat down beside Aubree’s bed. Aubree arched a brow and glanced at Frieda. “So? Why are you here?” she asked as she scrolled through her phone.

Frieda parted her lips to speak but changed her mind and kept her thoughts unspoken. She hesitated for some time and eventually looked down at Aubree’s wounded ankle. “Aubree, is your injury serious?”

A trace of impatience appeared in Aubree’s eyes but quickly faded away. She replied, “Getting injured doesn’t matter as long as I get what I want.”

Frieda naturally knew there was a reason behind her injury. However, she did not expect to hear Aubree say those words.

Recalling how Aubree had injured her arm the last time, Frieda couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Aubree is going all out just to get Lucian’s attention, huh?
