The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 191 

Lucian was a light sleeper. When he heard the series of soft rustling sounds, he opened his eyes and saw that the patient on the bed had already woken up. 

She placed her palm on her forehead, seemingly checking her own temperature. 

“How are you feeling? Do you still have a high fever?” Lucian got up and walked toward the bed. 

Roxanne froze in her movements before slowly propping herself up. In a courteous tone, she said, “I feel much better now. Thank you, and sorry for the trouble caused tonight.” 

Seeing how she was acting distant from him, Lucian’s face fell. However, he quickly hid his displeasure upon recalling that she was unwell. “You didn’t have dinner just now. Are you hungry?” he asked in a caring tone. 

As soon as he brought that up, Roxanne realized that she was starving. 

Apart from the few bites she had at lunch, she practically ate nothing the entire day due to a low appetite caused by her fever. 

Then again, she was reluctant to owe him any more favors. 

Just when she was about to say no to him, her empty stomach growled. 

Roxanne’s cheeks flushed. She kept a calm composure and replied, “I don’t
