The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 65

Chapter 65
Roxanne wasn’t familiar with the restaurants nearby, so she asked Madilyn to recommend her a place and brought Archie and Benny there directly.
As they were eating, she received a text from Jonathan that read: Is treatment needed tonight, Dr. Jarvis?
Only then did Roxanne remember that she didn’t explain the treatment process to him. She replied: Old Mr. Queen is still a little weak, so treatment can’t be conducted so frequently. He has already undergone treatment twice consecutively. Let him rest for a day. I’ll come over tomorrow. Sorry, I forgot to tell you about it.
In no time, Jonathan texted back: Okay. I’ll be waiting for you anytime.
When Archie and Benny noticed that their mother was texting during dinner, they asked curiously, “Is something the matter, Mommy?”
Smiling, Roxanne took some food for them both. “No, the patient the other day was asking me if I’m going over.”
Upon hearing that, the two boys nodded sensibly. “You’ve worked hard, so eat more, Mommy.”

Roxanne’s heart melted at the sight of their attentiveness.
Dinner was a delightful affair.
After they finished eating, Roxanne brought Archie and Benny to the counter to settle the bill.
No sooner had she reached the counter than she spotted two people heading toward them.
Holding each other’s arms intimately, Aubree and Frieda walked into the restaurant while chatting and laughing.
Unbidden, Roxanne slowed her pace and scanned her surroundings, wishing to head into the crowd to avoid them both as they had always been hostile toward her.
Aubree had a long-standing grudge against her. In fact, the woman had even joined forces with all the medicinal herb suppliers in Horington to boycott her research institute.
Frieda, on the other hand, merely looked down upon her medical skills and mocked her time and again.
Judging from the look of things, they clearly had a close relationship.
Roxanne had no doubt that Frieda would team up with Aubree to revile her.

In normal circumstances, she might have ignored their presence and walk right past them.
But with Archie and Benny tagging along right then, she didn’t want to have a row with them in front of her sons.
Just when she was about to take a detour with Archie and Benny, Frieda’s mocking voice sounded from afar.
