The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 1844 That Man From The North

It was late at night. The children were already asleep.

Roxanne, however, was having an episode of stomachache. She was hurting so much that she could not even straighten her back. As Lucian gave the woman a massage, he nagged at her at the same time, hoping she would cut herself some slack at work. "This side effect must stem from my poor confinement period years ago. Now, it's back to haunt me," whined Roxanne. Lucian was racked with guilt at those words. The tumult of his emotions got the better of him as he started to blame himself. With the warmth and moderate pressure coming from the man's palm, Roxanne could already feel her pain slowly subsiding. "It's not that serious, actually. It only hurts on the first day. I bet I'll be fine tomorrow morning!" she comforted Lucian.

The duo eventually brought up the car accident.

"According to the investigation carried out by the traffic police at each junction, including the surveillance footage provided by Linda and Madilyn, there wasn't any opening for anyone to even get close to your car. Is it because the brakes have really worn out?"

After Lucian summarized all available leads at that point, he gazed at Roxanne expectantly. Maybe she'll recall some tiny details that I may have overlooked.

"Then again, the car's still brand new. It's absurd for the brakes to fail so soon. The deduction made by the traffic police couldn't be wrong." Lucian was quick to perish the thought he just had a minute ago. It was then that something popped into Roxanne's head.
