The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1246

The two of them lowered their heads and clenched their teeth as they continued walking outside while trying their best to ignore the judgmental gazes.

Suddenly, the sound of car brakes screeching to a halt pierced their ears before a car stopped in front of them.

The next moment, they heard the slam of a car door.

Frieda and Aubree looked up cautiously and saw Jonathan standing before them, his face contorted with rage.

“What did the two of you do? Why are you in such a mess?”

Jonathan noticed the miserable state the women were in as he sized them up and swept his gaze across the nosy passersby who were whispering among themselves.

Intimidated by the man’s threatening aura, the crowd dispersed at once.

Jonathan frowned and looked at the two women in confusion. “Did you two find fault with Dr. Jarvis?”

Ever since that day when he saw his sister with Aubree at the hospital, Jonathan had been worrying that she might do something foolish and had gotten someone to keep an eye on her.

Over the past few days, even though Frieda had been visiting Aubree rather frequently, they did not seem to be up to anything. As such, Jonathan chose to turn a blind eye.

However, earlier that afternoon, his subordinate suddenly called to tell him that Frieda and Aubree went to Roxanne’s house.

Jonathan had a bad feeling in his heart when he received the news. Hence, he quickly ended his meeting and headed to the mansion.

However, he was still one step too late!

Frieda’s arm was still hurting as she met her brother’s eyes. Feeling frustrated and aggrieved, she said, “We just wanted to tell her not to bother Lucian again. What’s wrong with that? After all, Lucian and Aubree are engaged to each other!”

Filled with embarrassment, Aubree glanced at Jonathan for a brief second before gritting her teeth and looking away.

The man hesitated for a second before extending his arm and supporting Aubree.

“It’s all your fault! Why did you have to say all those things when Aubree was already feeling terrible because of Roxanne?” In a fit of anger, Frieda pushed all the blame onto Jonathan.

“Keep quiet!” Jonathan could not be bothered to continue arguing with his sister. “Get into the car. I’ll send both of you to the hospital. Don’t let me catch you harassing Dr. Jarvis again!”

After saying that, he put Aubree in his car while Frieda let out a cold snort before getting into the car with a gloomy look on her face.

Both Jonathan and Frieda were preoccupied with their own thoughts, and neither of them noticed the slight change in Aubree’s expression.

Aubree was in a terrible mood from what happened earlier, and her shoulder was hurting badly. As such, she was sick of hearing the argument between the siblings and pretended to faint.

She was glad that she had managed to shut them up using that tactic.
