The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1257

“Lucian, how’s Dr. Jarvis?” Jonathan gingerly asked after they had driven for some distance.

It was bad enough that one could cut the tension in the car with a knife, but it was even worse to see a grim-faced Lucian in the rearview mirror. Naturally, Jonathan couldn’t help but wonder if he had imagined the earlier interaction.

I remember Lucian being perfectly normal with Roxanne and the kids just now. Why has he done a one-eighty since getting into the car?

Alas, Lucian merely shot Jonathan a cold stare and asked, “Where are Aubree and your sister?”

“I sent them to the hospital,” Jonathan replied, sheepishly touching his nose as he did.

“Take me there.”

Left with no other choice, Jonathan sighed inwardly and nodded.

D*mn it. I wonder if he’ll take his anger out on our family when he sees Frieda later…

After a few seconds of silence, Jonathan composed himself and brought the focus back to Roxanne and Lucian. “By the way, Dr. Jarvis wasn’t hurt, was she?”

Lucian shook his head, his expression somber. “No, she wasn’t. I checked.”

Then again, so what if she wasn’t injured? Seeing her cry made my heart ache even more!

“Aubree must’ve gone after her because of you. Did Dr. Jarvis say anything?” Jonathan probed before getting the nagging feeling that something was off. “Wait a minute… You didn’t piss Dr. Jarvis off again, did you?”

Lucian’s gaze darkened when he noticed the difference in his friend’s tone. “No. I won’t do that again.”

Jonathan, however, was perplexed by that answer.

“I don’t think I can ever forget the previous incident,” Lucian added somberly. “After having experienced the pain of almost losing her, all I want to do now is make her happy.”
