The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 306

Not long after, Sonny entered from outside with the items needed for Roxanne's IV drip.

After setting up everything and inserting the needle into Roxanne's hand, Sonny turned to say to Lucian, “Ms. Jarvis will need to undergo a longer IV therapy than usual. She might need someone to look after her and change the IV bag.”

Hearing that, Roxanne quickly said, “Lysa, I'll have to trouble you tonight.”

Naturally, Lysa would not reject her. Just as she was about to reply to Roxanne, someone interrupted her, “I'll stay.”

The moment those words were out of his mouth, the expressions of everyone in the room changed.

Lysa was surprised as she remembered how averse Roxanne had been to keeping Lucian in the house. Even the two boys were not too willing to have Lucian stay. However, Lucian was the one who brought the doctor, so Lysa could not say much about the matter.

She cast a stumped look at Roxanne.

Roxanne drew her brows together. “There's no need for that; just having Lysa change the IV bags for me will be fine. Mr. Farwell, you're a busy man, so it's best for you not to waste your time here.”

Archie and Benny chimed in, “We'll help take care of Mommy, so thank you, but no thank you on your offer, Mr. Farwell.”

They only wanted the doctor to give their mother a checkup; it did not mean that they were going to let their father stay.

In contrast, Estella was a little disappointed.

If her father were to go back, she surely would not be able to stay either.

She was worried sick about Roxanne.

Lucian swept his gaze across Estella's face before his eyes drifted back to Roxanne. “Essie surely won't come home willingly with me with how sick you are, and I won't be at ease letting her stay alone. So I'm going to stay tonight no matter what. Lysa, please bring the kids to rest.”

Lysa looked at Roxanne dubiously.

Roxanne was looking at the girl beside her.

Estella was pursing her lips, and Roxanne could see the worry the girl had for her. Estella muttered in her high-pitched voice, “I won't go if Ms. Jarvis isn't well.”

With that, she lay down on the side of the bed and clung to Roxanne's arm.
