The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1799

Chapter 1799 My Mom Does Not Believe It

Lucian immediately frowned and glared at his mother. “Mom, it's an accident. What are you talking about?”

“Yes, yes. It's an accident, but you guys are being too careless. How could you simply let your child perform on stage with animals? That's so dangerous. All I can say is that Roxanne's not being meticulous enough.”

Realizing Sonya was placing all the blame on Roxanne, Lucian fumed, “Mom, are you here to see me or make accusations? If you keep doing this in the future, you might as well not come here!”

Sonya was rendered speechless.

She never expected her son to say something so heartless, and it left her briefly stunned. At first, she wanted to scold him, but she kept it in. “All right. I won't talk about it anymore. Anyway, I've been thinking about the two kids for the past two days. Can I raise my doubts? Can I ask Roxanne for evidence?” Sonya uttered in a calm tone.

There was no way Lucian could evade that problem. Even if everyone in the family believed it, the branch families of the Farwell family might not necessarily believe it.

After mulling it over, he nodded in agreement. “Okay. I'll get a paternity test done to convince them.”

Sonya put on a smile, for her wish was fulfilled.

She did not believe the kids were Lucian's. She was sure Roxanne had bewitched him.

After that, Lucian persuaded Sonya to leave by using his exhaustion as an excuse.

When the children were awake, Lucian distanced himself from them. He also informed them about his sickness and told them not to get close to him.

“Mommy's sleeping now because she stayed up last night to take care of me. Please be quiet today and do not make any noise, okay? Archie, I'll need you to take care of your siblings.”

The trio nodded obediently.

“Why are you awake? You didn't sleep for long. Why don't you rest more?” asked Lucian.

Roxanne focused on reading the thermometer. When she confirmed Lucian's temperature was within the normal range, she felt a sense of relief. She then helped him up and fed him the medicine.

“A minor accident happened at the research institute. Some impurities were added to the medicines for rheumatism during the manufacturing process. What's weird is that the medicinal effects increased. That's why Old Mr. Lomax contacted me right away. He couldn't figure out what the new component was. So, I'm currently looking into it using a reverse method. If I can find the key, we might be able to use this new method to create the medicine,” said Roxanne with a smile. Although she said she was no longer worried about the research institute, it was constantly on her mind.

After all, being able to develop one more drug meant that more patients would be free of their suffering.

Lucian nodded in response. Recalling his mother's request, he asked, “My mom still doesn't believe it. So—”

Before he could finish, Roxanne interrupted nonchalantly, “So, a paternity test is needed, right? It's all right. Let's do it.”
