Chapter 589
Sonya sent Aubree all the way into the Pearson residence. She spoke to Gina for a short while before leaving. Gina and Aubree watched Sonya leave before returning to the mansion.
“Is your arm still hurting?” Gina stared at her daughter’s injured arm panickily. She rarely visited her daughter because she wanted her daughter’s relationship with Sonya to improve. However, that didn’t mean she wasn’t worried.
Aubree shook her head. Annoyance could be seen on her face. “I’m feeling fine. I’m heading upstairs now.”
Without speaking another word, she ascended the stairs. Gina’s eyebrows furrowed as she stared at her daughter’s back.
Moments later, she heard the sound of a door slamming coming from upstairs. It confused her because she didn’t know why her daughter was in a foul mood right after being discharged from the hospital.
As for Aubree, after locking herself in the room, she thought about what she should do before calling Lucian on the phone. She could only wait for Lucian to visit her when she was staying at the hospital. However, she had been discharged from the hospital. Even if he didn’t want to visit her, she could just go and see him.
All in all, she just didn’t want to give Lucian any more opportunities to meet with Roxanne. She stared at her phone with a frown as she tried her best to adjust her emotions.S~á´‡aʀᴄh the Findnøvel.É´et website on Gøøglá´‡ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
It would be bad for her if he could hear the frustration in her voice, after all.
However, no one picked up the phone even after she waited for a long time.
Concurrently, Lucian had just finished applying medicine to Roxanne’s wound. After he bandaged it, his phone rang.
He pulled out his phone to check who it was with furrowed eyebrows. The moment he saw the name on the screen, he subconsciously looked at the woman in front of him and met her eyes. Roxanne’s eyebrows tightened a little as she swept her gaze past the phone’s screen and saw the name.
It was as though the word “Aubree” was reminding her that she was getting too close to Lucian.
When she realized that, she pinched her palm, pretended to be calm, and pulled herself backward. She wanted to put as much distance as possible between herself and him. Her eyes lowered as she pretended that she didn’t exist.
In the next second, the vibrating sound stopped.
Her eyebrows remained furrowed as she subconsciously glanced at the phone. It was then she saw Lucian had hung up the call and stuffed it back into his pocket.
He stared into Roxanne’s eyes, which caused her to be stunned for a second.
“I’ve applied medicine to your wound and help bandaged your injury. Don’t you think I deserve some thanks for doing that, Ms. Jarvis?” His eyebrow was raised nonchalantly. Hesitation flashed across her eyes. She wanted to ask him why he didn’t pick up Aubree’s call.
However, she quickly realized she didn’t have the right to ask about their matters.
When her train of thoughts arrived there, calmness returned to her eyes. Her voice sounded distant again. “Thank you, but it’s getting late. If there’s nothing else, you
should go home early, Mr. Farwell. Since my leg is still injured, I won’t be sending you out.”
She wanted to cut her ties with Lucian as soon as possible before Sonya and Aubree came up with another scheme to set her up.
A frown appeared on his face. When I was applying medicine to her wound, she cooperated with me. I thought she had finally seen my good side. Apparently, I was wrong. I can’t believe she changed er stance so quickly! In one second, she was feeling grateful, but in the next, she tried to chase me away!
Since she wasn’t getting an answer, she turned to him with furrowed eyebrows and saw his angry eyes..
