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.”
The two men strode into the hospital, and it wasn’t long before they got to Aubree’s ward.
The subordinates tasked with looking after Aubree and Frieda immediately greeted Jonathan, “Hello, Mr. Queen.”
“Has she woken up?”
As soon as Jonathan’s question left his mouth, he heard what sounded like an argument coming from the ward.
Knowing it could only be his half-witted sister talking to Aubree, he quickly cleared his throat.
As much as he was mad at Frieda, she was still his sister and a part of the Queen family. There was no way he could leave her in the lurch.
Besides, if she were to spout any more nonsense, not even he might be able to protect her!

GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
Wish there was more to the story, like how the triplets end up and if the twins are as smart as their older siblings. Beautiful story 😊...
