The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1389

Chapter 1389

Just then, Jack's muffled voice rang out beside Roxanne. “Ms. Jarvis, are you okay?”

Roxanne forcefully blinked her eyes to clear her head, but all her efforts proved futile.

Despite having heard Jack's question, she couldn't muster the energy to reply, so she could only acknowledge him by holding eye contact.

Jack had also drunk quite a lot, and after noticing how intoxicated Roxanne was, he knew it was time to bid farewell to Terence and the family members.

“It's getting late. We should be heading back to get some rest. We'll still have to return to the nursing home tomorrow to continue the treatments.”

Upon hearing that, the crowd knew better than to take up any more of the duo's time. As such, everyone expressed their gratitude once more before seeing Roxanne and Jack out of the restaurant.

With Roxanne in such a drunken stupor, Jack had to keep her steady by holding her arm.

There were even a few instances when he tried to pull the doctor into his arms so they could walk together a little easier.

However, despite being inebriated, Roxanne still subconsciously avoided his touch and stumbled down the road.

Naturally, Jack wasn't happy about that.

/ realize Roxanne's been intentionally avoiding all physical contact with me since this morning's medical consultation... Is it because of Lucian? Argh! How exactly has their relationship progressed?

“Mmph...” Roxanne groaned as she almost bumped her head against the wall.

Jack composed himself and strode toward her, determined to grab her waist and lead her away.

Alas, before he could do so, a flurry of footsteps rang out, and a large hand swiftly pulled Roxanne into a tight embrace.

“Let her go!” Jack shouted, his brows knitted into a frown.

The next second, his gaze darkened when he realized who the man was.
