The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1196

Chapter 1196

It was late at night. Roxanne assumed Lucian wouldn’t return after putting the kids to bed, so she lay in bed and allowed her thoughts to run wild.

She thought she had stopped loving Lucian.

After hearing the opinions of the specialists and the children, as well as a faint recollection of Lucian’s voice from when she was unconscious, she couldn’t help but feel a mælstrom of churning emotions.

What does Lucian think of me?

An overwhelming swirl of emotions would flood Roxanne’s mind whenever she thought about that.

“A penny for your thoughts.” Lucian’s voice suddenly rang in her ear.

Taken aback, Roxanne quickly composed herself.

I was too engrossed in my thoughts. I didn’t even know when Lucian came in!

“The specialists said you must not get emotional. If it’s not important, you should stop thinking too much.”

Lucian’s voice sounded calmer than before, which brought her a sense of security.

It took Roxanne a few seconds to regain her composure. She blurted out, “W–Why did you come back? It’s late…”

Lucian revealed honestly, “You have just regained consciousness and need someone to accompany you. I can’t let you stay here alone.”

Roxanne’s

eyes turned as wide as saucers. She couldn’t believe her ears.

Does Lucian know what he’s talking about? Does he know the significance of his words?

Uncertain about his thoughts, she refrained from asking him further questions. She tried to brush off the matter by saying, “I’m feeling better now. Mr. Farwell, you must be exhausted. You should turn in early tonight.”

Lucian’s eyes were too bloodshot for her to ignore.

Once her eyes were shut, the image of an exhausted Lucian emerged in her mind.

Roxanne couldn’t resist her curiosity and wondered what Lucian had said to her while she was unconscious.

She distinctly remembered that Lucian spoke for a long time, and his tone was unlike his usual manner.

Meanwhile, Aubree refused to give up and remained at the Farwell residence until late at night. Alas, Lucian didn’t come home.

Catalina couldn’t stand it anymore and told her, “Ms. Pearson, it appears that Mr. Farwell won’t be returning tonight. It would be best for you to go home now.”

Aubree glanced at her watch. Her expression was grim as she stood up to leave.

Right after walking out of the mansion, she sent Cory a text to find out where Roxanne was.

Lucian wasn’t at home despite it being late at night, leading her to fear that he might be with Roxanne.
