The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1471

Because of Benny’s injury, Roxanne took a leave of absence for all three of her children and stayed at home to take care of Benny for the time being.

Fortunately, the ointment she had developed was very effective, and when she applied it to Benny, his wound healed up rather quickly.

In the past two days, Lucian would often come to visit the kids.

While Roxanne was busy taking care of Benny, she was also worrying about the projects at the research institute.

In the end, she found out that, except for the project with the Damaris family, all the other projects were progressing smoothly.

Due to the previous incident, the project with the Damaris family had to be handled by Roxanne and Roxanne only. As such, the project was stalled the moment she left.

Since she was preoccupied with taking care of Benny, it took Roxanne a few days to realize that she had forgotten to give Jack a heads-up on the situation.

Just when she was about to make a call to Jack to apologize, the man himself called her first.

Upon seeing the caller ID, Roxanne answered the call immediately. With an apologetic tone, she greeted, “Mr. Damaris.”

In response, Jack’s cold voice rang out. “It’s been a long time, Ms. Jarvis. I wonder how your drug research is going? Since we’re partners, shouldn’t you take the initiative to report this matter to me?”

His tone was filled with a sense of superiority as if he was commanding Roxanne to do her job.

Jack’s anger gradually dissipated when he heard that the matter Roxanne had to deal with involved her son. Subsequently, he started to panic when he realized she was proposing to cancel the cooperation.

Easing his tone, he said, “My apologies. I was reprimanding an employee earlier, and my temper got the better of me. I hope you won’t mind that my tone was a bit harsh.”

Roxanne was as serious as ever when she asked, “So what are your plans, Mr. Damaris? I’ll give my full cooperation.”

Jack replied, “Naturally, I’d like to keep cooperating with your research institute. After all, you are the best traditional medicine practitioner that I approve of in Chanaea.”

After saying that, he complained, “Why didn’t you tell me that Benny was hurt? If I had known about this, I would have given you a few days off, and we wouldn’t be having this awkward conversation. Anyway, how is Benny faring? I’ll pay him a visit next time.”
