On the other side, Aubree was finally able to leave the hospital after staying there for nearly a month. Lucian only kept her company in the hospital for a few days under his mother’s request. After that, he never showed up again.
She contacted him a few times, asking him to visit her. However, he would always use his work as an excuse to reject her.
Additionally, two days ago, some of her friends, who had children studying in the same kindergarten, visited her. They told her that Lucian and Roxanne were acting in the Sleeping Beauty play. Not only that, they showed her photos of the play.
Inside the photos, Lucian was seen wearing a princely outfit as he stared longingly at Roxanne, who was lying on a wooden bed. Aubree’s friends continued to swipe the screen, showing her photos upon photos of Roxanne and Lucian.
Eventually, he was seen sitting by the side of the bed, leaning his body toward Roxanne in order to kiss her.
When Aubree saw the kiss, she shoved the phone away, unwilling to look at it any further. It seems like that b*tch forgot about the lesson I taught her earlier after I stayed in the hospital for a while! How dare she get so close to Lucian! Not only that, Lucian actually acted in the play with her! If it were in the past, it would never happen! After all, before that b*tch appeared, Lucian and Essie never attended any group activities! Ever since that b*tch returned from overseas, everything changed! Not only did Lucian bring Essie to plant trees, he even played around with them! If things continue down this path, it is possible for her to get back together with that b*tch!
When she thought of that, Aubree’s rage almost burned away all her rationality. “Just you wait for me, Roxanne!” Inside the empty ward, she gritted her teeth as a dark expression appeared on her face.
In the next second, Sonya entered the room and saw the younger woman’s frown. She asked perplexedly, “What’s wrong, Aubree?”
Sonya had been taking care of Aubree in the hospital due to the remorse and affection she felt toward Aubree. Even when the Pearson couple wanted to meet Aubree on the day of her discharge, Sonya prevented it from happening.
Upon hearing Sonya’s voice, guilt flashed across Aubree’s eyes. The latter quickly calmed down and smiled at the former casually. “It’s nothing. I’m just feeling a little reluctant to leave the hospital because it’ll probably mean we won’t be able to meet each other every day.”
Sonya’s heart felt warm when she heard that. She patted the younger woman’s shoulder. “If you want to meet me, you can always come to my place. You’re welcome to visit me anytime you want, but don’t forget to take care of yourself.”
Aubree nodded absentmindedly.
“Come on, let’s go. The paperwork is done, so you should head back home as soon as you can. Don’t make your parents worry,” Sonya reminded.
Aubree nodded and followed the older woman out of the ward. When they entered the car, the younger woman suddenly spoke up. “Do you know what Lucian has been busying about lately, Mrs. Farwell?”
Sonya’s eyebrows furrowed the moment her son’s name was brought up. She replied apologetically, “He’s either busy with his company’s matters or Essie.”
“Then… Was he busy for the past two days?” Aubree asked carefully.
“That I’m not sure. You can always call him and ask him about it. He shouldn’t be busy with work right now. You have just been discharged from the hospital, so he should at least show up to meet with you.”
You may as well not have said that if you’re putting it that way. Aubree lowered her eyes as annoyance flashed across them. When she raised her head again, she acted politely and obediently. “Okay. I’ll give him a call later.”
