The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 688

Chapter 688

Meanwhile, Roxanne did not have the slightest clue about what Aubree and her mother were planning.

The whole day had been spent playing with the children and dealing with Lucian. Hence, Roxanne fell asleep the moment she lay down.

However, she was awakened by the phone ringing the next day.

In a daze, Roxanne opened her eyes and picked up the phone without looking at who the caller was.

“Ms. Jarvis, are you awake? I’ve got something that needs your attention.”

She barely had time to take a breather when Jack’s voice broke the silence.

Upon realizing that it was Jack, Roxanne suddenly became alert. Curiously, she asked, “Has something happened?”

Roxanne rarely had personal dealings with Jack, so she knew that he was likely calling her for a business or medical issue.

Regardless, both matters were not to be taken lightly.

On that note, Jack broke the silence first. “Do you remember Jamie? That kid from the medical consultation the last time?”

Roxanne’s expression immediately turned grave. “I do. What happened?”

During the consultation, Daniel had spooked the child, resulting in heart palpitations that caused him to lose consciousness. It was only through Roxanne’s intervention that Jamie regained consciousness.

Thus, Roxanne had quite a deep impression of the child.

Roxanne nodded, smiling at them.

Just as she was about to bid the children goodbye, a loud honk was heard outside the door.

I think that must be Jack.

Roxanne straightened herself and left, the boys following her to the doorstep.

At the driveway of the mansion, Jack got down from the car and was prepared to knock when he saw Roxanne and the children coming out.

Jack was a little surprised to see the two boys trailing after Roxanne. He knew that she had children but had never laid eyes on them before.

The children looked as if they had just gotten out of bed and were still somewhat muddled. Yet, they were well-behaved. They obediently followed Roxanne from behind and gave Jack polite, albeit confused, little waves.
