The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 314

Sonya's response unequivocally took Aubree by surprise. The latter quickly turned her head, only to realize that Lucian was standing by the door.

Instantly, she reviewed her speech in her head and was relieved that she did not say anything that could have exposed her scheme. Her gaze then fell on Sonya. “There's no need for you to be so formal, Mrs. Farwell. It was something I should have done. Please, don't even mention it,” she said in a gentle voice.

Sonya furrowed her brows and replied, “You're such a sweet girl. Are you trying to make me feel more terrible than I already am?”

Obediently, Aubree said nothing else.

Sonya shot Lucian a glance. “If it weren't for Aubree, you wouldn't be able to see me standing here anymore. No matter what, the Farwell family owes Aubree a favor. I'm still in shock, so I don't think I'm the best person to take care of her right now. Therefore, it's your duty to care for her in the meantime.”

At that point, everyone in the room had their eyes on Lucian.

Frowning, the latter said curtly, “Okay.”

He had no intention of getting acquainted with Aubree. However, he could not find any excuse to reject his mother since Aubree did save Sonya this time.

The crowd heaved a sigh of relief when they heard him saying yes.

It was even more so for Aubree whose spirits rose triumphantly.

Although she was a little taken aback by the accident and its outcome, she was even more surprised by how the events had unfolded before her eyes, to her advantage.

Initially, she wanted to make use of her injuries to sow guilt in Sonya and make her an ally against Roxanne.

It turned out she received something better.

“If that's the case, I must thank you in advance for taking care of Aubree.”

Gina smiled at Lucian, but the latter nodded indifferently.

Right then, an awkward expression settled upon Aubree's face. “Lucian, I know that you're still upset with me because of Essie, and you'd hate to have anything to do with me. Don't worry; I won't trouble you unless it's absolutely necessary.”

In the coming days, Lucian will be all mine in the ward as per Mrs. Farwell's instruction. In other words, he won't have time to meet up with that b*tch!
