The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194

After breakfast. Roxanne thought that the time was still early, so she could possibly make it to the research institute in time.

“My fever has subsided. Lysa, could you please arrange for my discharge? I need to get some work done.”

Her work progress at the research institute had been impacted due to the surgery she did for Larry

Therefore, Roxanne did not want to create a backlog of work and fall behind even further.

Lysa hesitated. “Ms. Jarvis, I think you should stay and observe your condition for one more day. I know how swamped with work you‘ve been recently. You didn‘t fall sick yesterday for no apparent reason. It‘s because of fatigue! Now that your temperature is kept at bay, you can‘t wait to bury yourself in work again. I‘m really afraid that your body can‘t cope with it and will collapse for the second time.”

Though Lysa had not been serving Roxanne for a long time, she had witnessed enough of how the latter overworked herself day in and day out.

One would easily assume that Roxanne had superpowers if she had not fallen ill yesterday. She never once grumbled that she was tired nor complained about her hectic routine of juggling a career and raising her children. I

The more time Lysa spent with the family, the more she felt sorry for the single mother of two.

She treated Roxanne like her own daughter, and it broke her heart to see the younger woman fall sick.

“It‘s okay. I‘m used to it already. Moreover, yesterday was just a little accident.” Roxanne removed the blanket and insisted on getting off the bed.

The expression of the man standing not too far away from her turned grim when he heard that.

He recalled the contents of her amazing resume. How did she attain all those achievements within six short years? What kind of life did she lead when she was abroad? What has she gone through to get to where she is today?

Lysa was still very concerned. She had not been present when the doctor gave his diagnosis, so she was clueless about Roxanne‘s actual condition.

While Lysa was still debating what to do, Roxanne had already gotten up from the bed. Fretting, the former hurriedly turned to Lucian and gave him a pleading look, hoping that he would offer some help in persuading Roxanne to stay.
