The Abandoned Wife

On the other hand, Jonathan had made it to the top floor.

Lucian was waiting outside the ward after sending Estella back to her ward.

"How is Dr. Jarvis now? How did she get poisoned all of a sudden?"

Jonathan had been to Roxanne's research institute, so he knew full well that the personnel and equipment there were up to safety standards.

As such, he believed a poisoning incident like this shouldn't even happen at all.

Since Lucian was facing his own friend, he was able to drop his guard and said in an exhausted voice, "I'm not sure. She doesn't know how it happened either." Jonathan decided not to press on when he saw the frustrated look in Lucian's eyes. "May I visit her?"

Lucian glanced at the ward and hesitated for a bit before nodding in response. "I'm not sure if she's awake, but you can go in and see her if you'd like." Roxanne's mind was filled with Lucian's words from earlier, so she was wide awake when the two of them entered the ward.

Unsure of how she would face Lucian, she decided to avoid him by closing her eyes and pretending to be asleep.
