Chapter 986 Let Her Be
While that was happening, Sonny had also informed Sonya that Lucian was unwell. Although she had previously
gotten into an argument with Lucian, she still decided to personally check in on her son upon learning of his
condition.
“Mrs. Farwell.” When Catalina saw Sonya walking through the door, she could not help thinking about how the
mother-son pair had quarreled the last time. She hesitated, wondering whether to let the latter go upstairs or not.
Naturally, Sonya paid no mind to her hesitation. “Is Lucian in his room?” Catalina nodded. “He’s not feeling well and
is resting. How about—
Before she could finish her sentence, Sonya interrupted impatiently, “My son has fallen ill. As his mother, of course I
want to see him.”
With that, she strode upstairs.
Not daring to stop her, Catalina could only trail behind awkwardly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOver in the bedroom, Lucian thought it was Catalina coming to check on him again when he heard a knock on the
door.
“Come in,” he responded in a low voice.
Soon, the door opened, and he heard his mother’s voice ring out. “I heard from Dr. Elswick that you’re sick. How
are you feeling?”
Lucian’s brows drew together sharply as he turned toward the direction of the voice.
By then, Sonya had already walked over to his bed, pulled up a chair, and sat down with a frown.
“Dr. Elswick says it’s because you’re overworked. He also said something is bothering you. Is it because of
Roxanne? What makes her worth your worry? Back then, that woman left without a word. She was gone for six
years. Did she ever consider your feelings?” Sonya said, looking utterly mystified.
Lucian could not be bothered to argue with her and merely replied, “You’re overthinking. I’m a little tired. I want to
take a nap.”
After saying that, he ignored her and closed his eyes.
It was evident to Sonya that he was trying to avoid the topic, and anger rose within her.
“It’s not that I don’t care about your health. It’s just that the cause of your illness is completely unacceptable to
me!”
He opened his eyes again and glanced at her. “If you care that much about me, let me rest.”
Sonya still felt like venting, but she suppressed the urge to do so when she saw how ill he looked.
She glared at him for a few seconds, then stood up expressionlessly. “I’ll get Aubree to come and look after you.
You’d better not send her away.”
With that, she spun on her heel and left.
Catalina felt a sense of helplessness at the tension hanging in the air between the duo.
Nonetheless, when she saw Sonya go downstairs, she still had to hurry after her respectfully and send her off.
After watching Sonya leave, she turned around and went back upstairs.
She thought of saying that since Lucian was not feeling well and Sonya had purposely come to visit him, the pair
could take the opportunity to reconcile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, she swallowed her unspoken words when she remembered that Sonya wanted to tear Lucian and
Roxanne apart.
By the time she returned to the bedroom, Lucian was already sitting up, leaning against the headboard and
working.
Catalina’s heart sank. “Mr. Farwell, you should rest for a while.”
He lifted his gaze and glanced at her. “That’s not necessary. I’ve already slept for a long time and have had enough
sleep.”
Knowing that she would not be able to change his mind, Catalina fell silent.
After a while, she thought of something and said hesitantly, “Mrs. Farwell mentioned that she’d get Ms. Pearson to
come by. When she comes…”
Should I let her in or ask her to leave?
Lucian knew what the woman was thinking. He frowned and was silent for several seconds. Then he answered, “Let
her be.”
Clearly, my mother is annoyed by my attitude. If I don’t put up with what she wants for a bit, I’m afraid she’ll go and
stir up trouble for Roxanne.
After getting a clear answer, Catalina breathed a sigh of relief and left the room.
