The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1676

Chapter 1676 Giving Up On Himself

They both waited hopefully until the afternoon.

Time ticked away, and it was soon three in the afternoon. Alas, no one could figure out a way to save Roxanne.

Madilyn felt a wave of anxiety wash over her, and she felt completely lost. Her gaze kept shifting to Lucian. She wanted to ask him what they should do.

Lucian remained unfazed. His face was as cold as ice.

Seeing his reaction, Madilyn blurted out, “Mr. Farwell, are we still going to wait? Should we call Old Mr. Lomax?”

Lucian met her gaze and said firmly, “I need to leave. Take care of Roxanne. I'm not sure when I'll be back.”

Madilyn asked anxiously, “Where are you going at this hour?”

Lucian's gaze landed on Roxanne, who was lying in bed silently. A flash of determination appeared in his eyes and disappeared.

“I'm going to Jack”

Madilyn gaped incredulously. “What? Are you seriously going to...”

She trailed off and clenched her jaw. Despite her strong desire to reach out and grab his sleeve to prevent him from leaving, she didn't dare do so, as he seemed really intimidating. She merely gave him a look of disapproval.

“There is still time. Let's wait instead of giving in to Jack now!”

Lucian paid no heed to her and turned to leave. “I can't wait anymore. It's too risky, and I can't bearthe thought of putting Roxanne's life in danger.”

Madilyn parted her lips, but she couldn't say anything to stop him from leaving.

After all, she knew she would do the same if she were in his shoes.
