The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1729

Chapter 1729 Worsening

Upon ending the call, Lucian went back to the laboratory. He managed to calm himself down after knowing that Roxanne was okay for the time being.

As soon as he entered the laboratory, he saw Estella grabbing Jonathan's sleeves pitifully and asking in her piping voice, “Mr. Queen, is Mommy okay already? When will she recover?”

Looking flustered, Jonathan held a child in each arm and tried his best to console them.

For some reason, Benny and Estella seemed to be able to sense something because, when Lucian was holding them, they were sleeping soundly. The second Lucian left, they woke up groggily, and a few seconds later, they started throwing questions at Jonathan.

Jonathan was at his wits' end. “Your mommy is going to be fine. You guys have only been asleep for a few minutes. Don't worry...”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Estella tearing up.

Jonathan panicked. He had no idea how to comfort them.

Just as he was starting to feel overwhelmed, he saw Lucian walking in. “You're finally back, Lucian!” said Jonathan after breathing a sigh of relief. If he doesn't come back, I think I'll really drop to my knees and beg the kids to calm themselves down.

Lucian nodded gratefully in response. “Thank you.”

This time, Jonathan was eager to get the kids off of his hands. The kids look like angels! But who would've thought that they could be so hard to handle? Although I understand how they feel, I really don't know how to deal with them. They had me beaten within minutes!

“Daddy!”

Upon hearing Lucian's voice, Benny and Estella instantly wiggled out of Jonathan's arms and ran toward Lucian.

Lucian bent down to carry them in his arms. Seeing how red their eyes were, he comforted them gently, “I've already called to ask about Mommy. She's fine. Don't cry anymore, okay? Mommy's going to be sad if she finds out how much you guys have been crying.”
