The Abandoned Wife

Only then did Lucian's expression brighten up as he helped Roxanne enter the mansion.

Lysa and the children hadn't returned yet, so the two were the only ones in the mansion. Roxanne couldn't help but feel awkward. Just as she wanted to ask him to leave, he spoke again. "Let me take a look at your injury." Just as he finished speaking, he slowly crouched down in front of her.

As Roxanne watched him do that, she realized his intentions and rejected him with furrowed eyebrows. "No need. My injury is fine. I know that."

She tried to pull her leg back. However, due to her injury, her movements were restricted. Additionally, there wasn't anywhere else she could hide on the couch.

Lucian grabbed her ankle right as her leg retracted.

"Don't move. Your injury is located at your foot, so if you aren't careful, the wound will open up. Still, you ignored the doctor's advice and walked around freely." His eyebrows remained furrowed while he glanced at her. "Even if you do not like me, there's no need to push your body like this."

Guilt rushed into Roxanne's heart when her eyes met with his. When she returned to her senses, her shoes had already been taken off, and her gauze-covered foot was revealed.

He carefully lifted her leg and examined it with a frown. The clean, white gauze had been stained with a small amount of her blood.
