The Abandoned Wife

Roxanne could feel the temperature around Lucian dropping rapidly, so she interrupted the old lady. "I'm just here to check up on you all's condition. Since all of you are doing fine, I'll be going home now. I'll visit if I have the time in the future."

The residents knew her home was in Horington after chatting with her yesterday. Thus, they urged the couple to leave right away to avoid driving at night.

Roxanne didn't feel relieved even after leaving the nursing home because Lucian was still visibly bothered by the old lady's words.

Resignedly, she comforted, "Uhm... Don't take that granny's words to heart, Lucian. There really isn't anything between Mr. Damaris and me."

He glanced at her. "Do you converse with him often?"

"It's just medical stuff. That's all," clarified Roxanne seriously. I only got to know Jack because we're in the same field. Aside from matters related to medicine, there isn't anything else for us to talk about, so there's no way I'll have feelings for him.

When Lucian heard that, his expression returned to normal.
