The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 773

Chapter 773 What Is Their Relationship

An hour later, Roxanne’s phone rang. Colby had arrived. Roxanne went downstairs to open the door for him.

Meanwhile, Lucian and the children heard the male voice on the other end of the phone. Without waiting for the man to speak, the children took the initiative to urge him to follow Roxanne downstairs for a look.

Seeing that they were even more anxious than him, Lucian inclined his head a fraction and went downstairs with huge strides. “Thank you.” Roxanne stood in the courtyard as she took the sprays from Colby.

Since the condition was contagious, she could only try her best to keep a distance from him. However, he brought a number of sprays, so she couldn’t quite carry them all. “I’ll carry them in for you,” Colby suggested at her conflicted expression.

Without an ounce of hesitation, Roxanne turned him down. “As you know, this kind of bacteria is highly contagious. I already feel horribly bad for troubling you to make this trip late at night. You’d best not go into the house, for I’m afraid that you’d get infected as well.”

As a fellow doctor, Colby also played a part in formulating the spray. Naturally, he knew full well the contagiousness of such a bacteria.

Therefore, he didn’t insist after she had said as much.

Just when he was racking his brain for a way to help her carry the sprays in, a figure suddenly walked out of the mansion door.

He reflexively lifted his eyes and cast his gaze over.

The instant he recognized the person at the door, a glimmer of surprise flittered across his eyes.

Lucian? Why is he here at this hour?

While he was still perplexed, Lucian had already walked over to him with mighty strides and regarded him expressionlessly. “You’re… Dr. Galloway?”

He had seen Colby once when he went to the research institute to pick Roxanne up previously.

When it came to the men around Roxanne, he had a deep impression of them, even if he had only seen them once.
