Chapter 1370


    Lucian tapped on the steering wheel and said matter-of-factly, “I''ll drive the car to the service center. It


    shouldn''t take long.”


    Roxanne nced around them.


    They were in a remote area with no visible signs of a rest area or any people around.


    In fact, there weren''t any buildings in sight, let alone any service centers.


    “Don''t you have any spare tires in the car?” Roxanne asked hopefully.


    Lucian furrowed his brows and replied, “I''ve just used it a while ago and forgot to rece it.”


    Feeling helpless, Roxanne nced around at the deserted environment they were in.


    If their car were to break down here, no one would discover their whereabouts.


    Roxanne felt slightly anxious.

    “I wouldn''t suggest taking that chance,” she warned. “We''re still a great distance from the service


    center, and I doubt the tire will hold up for much longer. Why don''t you give the service center a call


    and have theme to us? We can stay put until they arrive.”


    There were two of them, so they could look after each other.


    Lucian nced at his watch. novel ebook “Do you want to stay here with me? Aren''t you in a hurry? I


    think the elderly people at the nursing home need you to be there as soon as possible.”


    A hint of hesitation shed across Roxanne''s eyes when she heard him mention the sick, elderly


    people.


    However, she quickly made up her mind. “It''s fine. Mr. Damaris and the other doctors will be there, so


    they''ll be fine.”


    Lucian nodded and pulled his phone out to call the service center.


    They waited patiently in the car for the tow truck to show up and tow the vehicle away.


    Roxanne took out her phone and texted Jack to inform him that she would most probably bete.


    As they were too far away from the town, the vehicle from the service center only showed up hours


    later.


    Lucian greeted the person and led Roxanne to the vehicle ahead so they could be driven to the nearest


    town.


    They did not make the journey to the car workshop, which was situated at a considerable distance from


    the town.


    Lucian retrieved Roxanne''s suitcase and told her to wait aside while he spoke to the mechanic. A while


    later, he came back to her.


    “What did you guys talk about?” Roxanne was confused.


    “I told them to examine the whole car and make sure it''s working well. A while ago, I noticed there


    seemed to be a problem with the speedometer.”


    Hearing that, Roxanne didn''t think much. She shuddered in fear andmented, “Thank goodness


    nothing happened to us.”


    After saying that, she couldn''t help but frown as something seemed amiss to her.


    Lucian rarely drives this car. It''s practically new. Why are there so many issues?


    Her thoughts were clearly written on her face.


    Suddenly, Lucian extended his hand, interrupting Roxanne''s thoughts.


    She found herself frozen, staring at Lucian''s hand reaching for her.


    “You...”


    For a split second, she thought Lucian wanted to hold her hand and instantly panicked.


    The next second, Lucian took her suitcase and pushed it along the gravel path with ease.


    Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief.


    Fortunately, I bought arge ck suitcase out of convenience. It would look strange now if I had


    bought a pink one...


    Lucian led the way, pushing the suitcase, while Roxanne tagged behind quietly.


    They started making small talk.


    Suddenly, Roxanne''s gazended on Lucian''s hand hanging loosely by his side.


    Recalling her misinterpretation, she couldn''t help but feel amused.
