The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 88

Chapter 88
By the time the treatment was over, Frieda had also returned home.
Upon finding out from the butler that Roxanne was treating Alfred, she made a beeline for the latter’s bedroom.
“Grandpa, how are you feeling?” Frieda asked concernedly the moment she stepped into the room.
Alfred nodded slightly. “Much better.”
Having lived for so long, he had gained an understanding of how traditional medicine worked and had also consulted countless famous doctors.
Roxanne, however, had come as a delightful surprise to him.

After each course of her treatment, Alfred would always feel a significant improvement in his health, which was something that not even the best doctors in the world could achieve.

Frieda looked her grandfather over and finally nodded with a smile. “That’s good to hear.”
Then, she turned to Aubree and added, “Have you come to visit Grandpa too, Aubree? Since it’s getting late, why don’t you stay for dinner?”
Naturally, Aubree had no objections to that and grinned broadly. “In that case, don’t mind if I stay and bother you, Old Mr. Queen.”
Alfred merely chuckled and nodded.
Now that Frieda was home, Roxanne hastened her packing, not wanting to stay and interact with the women any further.
Just then, Alfred smiled and turned to her. “Dr. Jarvis, why don’t you stay for dinner too? I could use this opportunity to thank you properly.”
Roxanne froze momentarily and was racking her brain for an excuse when Alfred continued, “Invite Lucian over too. It’d be great to gather everyone for a hearty meal. We can treat it as a celebration of my recovery, can’t we? Besides, it’s been a while since I had any fun.”
Needless to say, Jonathan acceded to his grandfather’s request and immediately left the room to call Lucian.
That, however, made Roxanne’s heart skip a beat. After packing her tools back into the medical box, she hurriedly stood up and bid farewell to Alfred. “Since it’s a family dinner, I don’t think it’d be appropriate for me to join. If you really must thank me, we can always find another day for it, Old Mr. Queen.”
Although Roxanne had met Lucian plenty of times since she returned from overseas and was also acutely aware of his relationship with Aubree, she truly loathed the thought of seeing them together.
