The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1622

Chapter 1622 Fallen Sick

Afterward, Roxanne visited a nearby restaurant for lunch.

Perhaps she had wolfed down her food too fast or was exhausted from work, as Roxanne fell into a daze and nearly fainted at the entrance.

Luckily, one of the restaurant employees grabbed her in time and helped her to regain her footing. After saying thanks, Roxanne headed back to the research institute.

She felt rather unwell for the rest of the afternoon. Yet, she pushed herself to complete all the required tests on the medicinal herbs.

It was already nightfall when Linda came to check on her.

“Dr. Jarvis, is there anything else I can help you with?”

Linda followed the distinctive work culture from abroad and adhered strictly to the working hours. She would not take the initiative to work overtime if it was not necessary.

Before knocking off, she would usually check on Roxanne if she was still in the research institute. If the latter did not need her help, Linda would leave work first.

Roxanne shook her head and said, “Nope, I’m about to leave as well.”

Right before walking away, Linda noticed Roxanne’s pale face. “Are you suffering from work fatigue, Dr. Jarvis?”

Genuinely feeling a little unwell, Roxanne said, “Perhaps. It’s a busy period for me, but things will be fine once the pharmaceutical manufacturing process is back on track.”

Linda was getting worried. “If the medicinal herbs are all good to go, I can take care of the rest. You should rest at home for two days, Dr. Jarvis, for you don’t look very good.”

Upon hearing that, Roxanne hesitated for a few seconds. Yet, in the end, she rejected Linda’s offer. “It’s okay, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”

After putting away all the tools used for testing, Roxanne grabbed Linda’s hand and ushered her to the door. “Come on, let’s leave together. I’m ready to call it a day.”

Linda said nothing and followed her out of the research institute.

As soon as they got out, Roxanne saw Lucian waiting for her by the car.

He hurried over the moment he saw her coming out.
