The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 297

Unbeknownst to Roxanne, Aubree had begun to plot against her. She was too occupied with the research she had to do.

Her busyness was not entirely an excuse to send Estella home.

If the children had not insisted that she took a day off because of her injured wrist, she would not have taken a break from her research work.

Early the next morning, Roxanne was awakened by a call from her teammate. After a brief conversation, she rushed over to the research institute without even having the time to have a bite of breakfast.

The beginning and end phases of a research project were usually the hardest parts. At the start of the project, Roxanne had dedicated so much time to it that she would spend days at the research facility.

Since they were then at the final stage of the project, things were picking up again.

Colby, who was still assisting Roxanne on the project, was alarmed when he saw the injury on her wrist while they were conducting an experiment. “Dr. Jarvis... Your hand...”

Roxanne was so engrossed in her work she had forgotten about her injury. It was not until she trailed Colby's gaze that she was reminded of it, and she smiled faintly, saying, “It's no big deal. It's just a scratch from an activity at my kids' kindergarten.”

Colby was relieved to hear that it was not anything major. But still, he took over most parts of the experiment that he thought would be too physically demanding for Roxanne while she stood aside and gave him verbal instructions.

Their team dynamic was good, and they went on to carry out experiments for almost a week until they finally achieved the results they wanted.

The whole group in the lab was boisterous, and Roxanne was unequivocally glad that they got the results they intended.

Although she was already a practitioner of her own when she was abroad, most of the projects she participated in were under her professor. She was just a nominal independent researcher most of the time, but things were different this time.

That was the first ever research that she had directed on her own.
