The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1385

Chapter 1385
It was apparent that they did not buy her explanation at all.

Roxanne cast a glance at Jack, hoping that he would help her out.

However, Jack only smiled before turning away and changing the topic. “No matter what kind of relationship we have, it won’t affect our ability to treat you. Next, please.”

He did not deny the elderly people’s assumption of their relationship, and so the elderly people became even more confident about their guesses as they looked at Roxanne and Jack lovingly.

Upon realizing that she could not change their minds, Roxanne decided to drop the topic.

Nevertheless, she later made sure not to do anything to let others misunderstand the nature of her relationship with Jack.

Roxanne ended up consulting dozens of elderly people, but their health issues were all common and not too severe.

As she was fully prepared to find their conditions had worsened, she was glad to see that they seemed better than she had thought they would be.

Thank God they’re not doing as terribly as I presumed.

Still, there were elderly people who were in worse conditions.

When she was consulting an elderly man with rheumatic heart disease, Roxanne visibly slowed down.

He’s so old, and he has no children. If he gets a heart attack…

She could not imagine how hard it would be for the elderly man.

Noticing her strange behavior, Jack walked over and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Roxanne gave the elderly man a pacifying smile before whispering to Jack, “He has rheumatic heart disease. I’m afraid acupuncture won’t be able to treat him. Why don’t we send him to the hospital instead?”
