The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1945

Chapter 1945 Internal Conflict

Shawn arrived at a private hospital with Coralie in a car.

Just as the vehicle stopped, a black Mercedes-Benz appeared in front.

Furrowing his eyebrows, Shawn saw Jonas' figure.

A few bodyguards rushed to Shawn's car and surrounded it on high alert.

Coralie was sitting in the backseat, ready to grumble about how her brother ruined her plan. However, she rapidly put on a serious persona when she saw what had transpired. “What's Jonas doing, Shawn?”

“What else? I broke my confinement order, so now they're here to give me trouble,” answered Shawn.

His failed investment incurred immense losses to the family. Thus, his family elders punished him. Consequently, he wasn't allowed to do anything during his one-year stay in the north.

“Seems like Jonas is using this opportunity to sort you out.” A cold look flashed past Coralie's eyes.

The younger generation of the Crawford family often competed against each other with their full might to become the heir.

Shawn was the most outstanding among them; hence, he was most likely to become the next patriarch. After his horrendous failure, that opportunity fell into Jonas' lap.

Casually, Jonas exited the vehicle with a mocking smile while Shawn did the same with an indifferent expression.

“How kind of you to worry about me. However, you need not be concerned about whether I can win against Lucian or not. You should return to the north as soon as you can. Don't put me in a situation. As for Coralie, I'll help you take care of her.”

Shawn was surprised Jonas wasn't angered by his provocation. Still, he's chasing me home. It's obvious he's worried I'll brew troubles for him and spoil his plan in Horington.

Upon ending his train of thought, Shawn nodded and turned to his sister. “You don't need to worry about anything else. Just stay at the hospital, Coralie. If you need anything, tell Jonas about it. He's right that I can't stay for long, so I'll be leaving now.”

“I think I would've felt more touched if you didn't visit me! Just leave and go home. I can take care of myself!” exclaimed Coralie.

However, she still faced Jonas with a cold expression.

As much as she disliked Shawn sometimes, he was her brother after all. On the other hand, Jonas had always found fault with them since they were kids. Therefore, when push came to shove, she would still stand by her brother to face their adversaries together.
