The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1397

Roxanne wasn’t sure what was going on with herself, but she really didn’t want to be misunderstood by Lucian, especially regarding her relationship with Jack.

After ending her sentence, she gazed at his expression carefully.

Her explanation calmed him down, prompting him to withdraw his frigid expression.

“He wasn’t acting differently last night, and I had no conflict with him. I don’t know why he suddenly checked out.” He spoke as though his dispute with Jack last night didn’t happen.

Fearing that she might have misunderstood him, Roxanne held back from further thinking about the matter and nodded. “Then I’ll give him a call.”

Lucian’s eyes darkened as he felt the urge to stop her.

However, he just kept quiet because he believed he should act magnanimously after she explained their relationship voluntarily.

After she bade him goodbye, she returned to her room and called Jack.

It took a while before he answered the phone. “What’s the matter, Ms. Jarvis?”

Frowning, Roxanne confronted, “The cleaner said you checked out last night.”

“Mhm,” said Jack, thinking she was wondering why he had left.

To his surprise, she questioned, “What about today’s medical consultation? Are you still going?”

The look in his eyes darkened a little. Despite his displeasure, he still sounded gentle when he answered, “I won’t be going. We spent the past two days checking up on the elderly with severe affliction, so all that’s left are the relatively healthy ones. You can let the other doctors examine them. I’ll head over there if there are any problems.”

Then he sighed. “Also, I was feeling quite tired yesterday, so I wanted to rest today.”

He was hinting at Roxanne to ask him about what happened last night.

However, she didn’t catch his intentions and merely said, “Then you should rest well, Mr. Damaris. Don’t worry, I can head over to the nursing home too if any problems pop up.”

Jack was not pleased and he frowned. “Thank you, Ms. Jarvis.”
