The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 316

Sonya and the others continued to keep Aubree company in the ward.

Aubree was actually tired of her presence. She only used Sonya to get close to Lucian. Now that the man had agreed to stay back for her, she started getting impatient that the seniors kept lingering around in the room, having no intention to leave. Despite so, she still put on a pleasant expression, pretending to be a goody two shoes.

“Aubree, you're the patient. Therefore, you should just stay in bed these two days and get Lucian to run errands for you.”

Sonya stroked the cast on Aubree's arm.

She had enough of Sonya's never-ending words of concern. With a fake smile, she replied, “Thanks for the thoughts, Mrs. Farwell. I'll take note of it, but...”

Aubree unintentionally swept her glance across the man at the door. Then, she bit her lip and muttered pitifully, “I'm already very thankful that Lucian is here with me. I can't trouble him any more than this.”

Sonya scanned the room for his son, only to realize that he was still standing far away from Aubree. Fuming, she lashed out at him, “Why are you standing at the corner? Aubree is a girl, and girls can be shy at times. Bear this in mind when you take care of her these few days. Be more proactive. Don't make a girl open her mouth to ask for help.”

Lucian merely frowned without saying a word.

Seeing so, Aubree put on a sad face and tried to speak up for Lucian. “Mrs. Farwell, Lucian is always very busy at work. After knocking off, he should enjoy his free time and get some rest. Please don't insist that he come over. I can take care of myself. You don't have to worry about me.”

Sonya's expression lightened up a little when she saw how understanding Aubree was.
