The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221

After heading home that night, Roxanne only told Lysa she needed to run an errand and asked her to take care of Archie and Benny. When she returned to her room, she bought the tickets for herself and Larry to take the plane early the next morning.

Roxanne woke up the following morning and merely packed up her things before leaving for the airport.

Once she stepped out of her house, Roxanne saw Larry waiting at the entrance.

“I thought it might be inconvenient for you to drive. Therefore, I drop by to pick you up.”

Then, Larry opened his car door.

With a simple thank–you, Roxanne sat inside his car.

Both of them chatted during the car ride.

Roxanne suddenly recalled something and asked the man beside her out of curiosity, “Larry, I remembered you only stayed in Chanaea briefly before going abroad to work back then. How long is your stay this time?”

Larry replied smilingly, “I originally planned to leave, but you should know why I didn‘t. It‘s because of my elder‘s surgery that my departure got delayed.”

It occurred to Roxanne that Larry did mention he intended to go overseas the last time they met.

It was just that the elderly had been out of surgery and was recovering well according to his words. Nonetheless, Larry didn‘t mention anything about leaving the country. Instead, he had begun to participate in Chanaea‘s medical conference.

Roxanne couldn‘t help but feel baffled. She asked persistently, “When do you plan on leaving this time? I‘ll see you off.”

Larry‘s brows furrowed slightly. “I‘m not leaving.”

Roxanne appeared quite flabbergasted by his answer. “Why? Haven‘t you always liked the academic setting abroad? Moreover, you should be more accustomed to the research environment there.”

To her knowledge, Larry had always studied abroad ever since he entered the medical industry.

I wonder why he suddenly decided to stay this time.

Although Larry is young, he‘s already well–known globally. Having him around is equivalent to having a renowned figure. I bet numerous hospitals would be vying over him.

“If you want to join one of the hospitals in Horington, I might be able to offer some suggestions,” Roxanne initiated. “In order to make plans for future collaboration, my research institute has recently done some investigation on a majority of the acclaimed hospitals in the city.”

Larry certainly wouldn’t refuse her kind gesture.

Right until the time they boarded the plane, both of them were discussing the reputable hospitals in Horington.

It was noon when their plane landed in Bellridge.

Right after they exited the airport, they immediately boarded the event organizer‘s car and arrived at a hotel where they would be staying.

As the conference would only begin in the afternoon, there was still ample time for them to rest.

After Roxanne returned to the country with Larry, they basically stayed in Horington the entire time. Seeing that it was a rare opportunity for them to come to Bellridge, she seized the chance to do shopping nearby the event venue since it wasn‘t time for lunch.

After lunch, they returned to their respective hotel rooms to get ready for the conference in the afternoon.
