The Abandoned Wife

The two women in the ward seemed to have heard the noise outside and quickly quietened down.
Seconds later, Frieda got up and opened the door.
Upon seeing the men, she panicked so much that she had to clench her fists tight to calm herself down.
"Lucian, have you come to visit Aubree? Her injuries are pretty bad. I blame-"
Unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, Jonathan interrupted, "Shut up! This is for Lucian and Aubree to discuss between themselves. I want you to come here right now!"
Stunned by her brother's sudden outburst, Frieda glared at him and was about to retort when she saw Lucian's cold-eyed stare.
After feeling a chill run down her spine, Frieda promptly swallowed her words and walked out with her head hung low.
Lucian, on the other hand, said nothing and entered the ward.

The next second, Aubree looked down at her injured arm and choked out, "I believe I was very polite and reasonable. After all, I only wanted to take Essie home before Mrs. Farwell showed up. However, Ms. Jarvis ignored my pleas and attacked me without warning. Look at my arm! It's so severely injured that I still can't move it... Have I offended Ms. Jarvis in any way? Why must she be so cruel toward me?" Even as she spoke, Aubree stole glimpses of Lucian to gauge his reaction.

"Shut up!" Lucian bellowed. He already knew the truth, but hearing Aubree twist the facts and picturing a teary-eyed Roxanne only further stoked his rage.
Aubree trembled and instantly held her tongue, eyes wild with fear as she stared at the man before her.
