The Abandoned Wife (Lucian)
Chapter 1870

Chapter 1870 In Disarray

Madilyn was weeding the garden, but the wild thoughts in her mind were growing out of control.

After snapping out of her daze, she realized that Jonathan had agreed to stay for a meal at her place.

She couldn't help but feel excited.

Madilyn's mother had caught onto her every reaction.

Jonathan enjoyed the scrumptious meal as the dishes were particularly to his taste.

Over the course of the meal, Lorraine and Jonathan did most of the talking, with Lorraine peppering Jonathan with questions about his family.

Madilyn felt really awkward as she listened to them talk.

However, Jonathan didn't seem bothered by Lorraine's questions.

After he was done, he even praised Lorraine's cooking.

Before Jonathan left, Madilyn called out to him and said slightly sternly, "Did you eat the medicine I gave you on time?"

"Yes, I did. My stomach feels much better lately, and the usual burning sensations are almost gone." Jonathan smiled and thanked her.

In response, Madilyn kept a cool face and asked that he go for another checkup.

Jonathan nodded and bade goodbye to her before leaving for his office.

Madilyn's lips twitched. She wanted to ask Jonathan some questions, but she didn't quite know where to begin.

She wanted to know if his depression was still acting up.

Madilyn had a feeling that Jonathan was actually quite tired, devoting all his energy to work.

Can't Mr. Farwell give him a break?

Then again, Madilyn thought Lucian might not be the reason Jonathan was overworking, as she realized that the man might be overworking to distract himself from depression. After Jonathan got into the car, he suddenly thought of something and got out of the car again.

"Did you leave something behind?" Madilyn asked.

Jonathan shook his head and took out a ganoderma.

It was a big one.

"A medicinal herb supplier gave this to me just this year. I'm giving you the biggest one. I noticed that you've been looking tired recently. You may want to make some soup with this, although I'm not even sure i it helps." Jonathan smiled sheepishly and handed it over to Madilyn.

She remained in a daze long after Jonathan's car had disappeared from sight.

"Maddy, Maddy..."

Lorraine called out her name a few times, her lips curling into a knowing smile.

"Mom, what's the matter?" Madilyn jolted back to her senses.

Nevertheless, she passed the ganoderma to her mother and said, "I'm not sure if this is really nutritious, but let's make some soup with it."

"Maddy, I know what you're thinking, but it seems like Jonathan doesn't. So, you can't just sit and wait for things to happen. You've got to take some initiative," Lorraine said with a chuckle.

When they were having the meal together, Lorraine had practically asked Jonathan everything there was to know about his family and personality.

She was certain that he was a perfect match for Madilyn.

Madilyn's cheeks tinged pink as she hurriedly denied it. "Mom, you don't know how things actually are between us. Besides, Jonathan might already have a girlfriend!"

"Really? But he didn't mention anything about that. Moreover, if he really does have a girlfriend, do you think she will allow him to come here and dine with us? He is definitely single, so you do stand a chance!' Lorraine explained.

Madilyn was stumped that even her mother wanted her to be more proactive.

However, Madilyn couldn't be as optimistic as her mother.

"Mom, I don't want to get into a relationship now. Let's focus on taking care of your health first."

Madilyn realized that her emotions had been in disarray lately, perhaps the most chaotic they had ever been in her life so far.
