The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 585

“By the way, how did you injure your leg?” Jack asked out of curiosity during the journey.

Roxanne’s heart skipped a beat when she recalled how she got hurt, but she steadied herself and answered calmly, “I accidentally got cut by the sharp edge of a conch during an outing two days ago. It’s not a big deal.”

Jack was amused as he did not know the detail of the incident. “I’m surprised to learn that you got cut by a conch because you seem vigilant when you’re on duty.”

Roxanne pressed her lips and smiled. “I didn’t think it would happen to me either.”

They had fun talking to each other throughout the journey. When they arrived at Roxanne’s residence, Jack helped Roxanne get down from the car.

They were all smiles while talking about fun stories in the medical line.

While Roxanne was still grinning from ear to ear, a cold voice emerged from a distance away. “It looks like Mr. Jarvis is in a good mood.”

Lucian stood in front of the mansion and looked at them with a deadpan expression.

The smile on Roxanne’s face instantly vanished into thin air when she heard his voice.

Upon noticing the change in her expression, Jack, too, stopped smiling and gave the man a confused look. He looked at Lucian and raised his brows. “Do you know each other?”

Both Lucian and Jack came from two prominent families in Horington. Though the Damaris family had lived in seclusion for years, Jack could still recognize Lucian as they had met before.

Jack was aware of Roxanne’s relationship with the Queen family. He could somewhat understand how they got connected. After all, she was a renowned

doctor, and the Queens were in the pharmaceutical industry.
