Leaving The Country After Divorce (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 1653

Chapter 1653 Down In The Dumps

Just then, Lucian received a call from Madilyn.

Frowning, he answered the call and immediately inquired about Roxanne's condition. “How's Roxanne?”

Madilyn gazed at her best friend on the hospital bed, her voice somber. “There are no changes for the time being. But then, we still didn't manage to surmise anything even after discussing her condition for the entire afternoon.”

After saying that, she sighed helplessly.

When Lucian heard her reply, his heart grew increasingly heavier. “I'll head over right away.”

“It won't do any good even if you do so when you're not a doctor,” Madilyn countered. Then, she admitted, “I called to ask whether you've tried seeking out the Queen family.”

After all, the Queen family was also quite prominent in the medical field.

If they agreed to help, there were high chances of determining the exact medicinal herbs Roxanne inhaled.

Only when she brought up the Queen family did Lucian belatedly remember about that possible avenue. “I'll do that at once.”

Madilyn murmured in acknowledgment.

Without saying anything further, both of them hung up the phone.

Verily, Lucian had been so panicked that he had relegated the most instrumental help available at present to the back of his mind.

In fact, if Madilyn hadn't given him a call, her existence wouldn't even have occurred to him.

At that moment, it was late at night.

Jonathan was sitting in his study cross-legged, methodically arranging his work schedule for tomorrow with his assistant.

Never had he expected the Queen family to gain a boon for nothing when they had only helped to act as a go-between.

One who didn't know better might even assume that the man was holding a wine glass instead.

“Why did you come over so late, Lucian?”

Jonathan's heart sank slightly. Striding over, he sat down beside Lucian and poured himself a cup of coffee.

Glimpsing that the coffee in Lucian's cup was already finished, he casually topped it up for the latter.

In the next second, the man beside him picked up the cup and took a long chug.

He cautiously peered into the cup, only to see that only half of the coffee, which had just been refilled to the brim earlier, remained. Even the coffee grounds inside had diminished significantly.

The instant he saw that, realization dawned upon him that his best friend was down in the dumps.

Could it be that something has happened to Roxanne? Other than that, I can't think of any other reason for him to be in such a foul mood.
