Lucian’s face showed a hint of awkwardness when he met Roxanne’s eyes. Soon, he regained his composure. “Let’s do as you say if you feel it’s appropriate.”
A moment later, Lucian behaved as if nothing had happened. “You’re a doctor yourself, so your should know your condition well. The experts said the residual poison in your body is almost gone. You can be discharged from the hospital soon.”
He changed the topic abruptly and sounded unnatural. His expression intrigued Roxanne, and shel almost burst out laughing. Then, she said, “Then, Mr. Farwell, please help me with the discharge procedures. We can start the investigation earlier.”
Lucian agreed to it without saying anything. more and went to handle her discharge procedures. Feeling uneasy, Lucian confirmed with the experts again that it was okay for Roxanne to be discharged after leaving the ward.
Originally, the experts were forced to allow Roxanne to stay for observation due to Luciani. Thus, they immediately assured Lucian that Roxanne could be discharged without a problem.
After that, Lucian went to handle Roxanne’s discharge procedure. When he got back to the ward, Roxanne was ready to leave.
Lucian was in a daze looking at the smiling lady in a dress before him. Yesterday, Roxanne looked extremely pale, and he was shocked to see her in a hospital gown.
Thus, he felt strange now that she looked well. “Are you done?” Roxanne was confused since he stood at the door silently. Lucian snapped out of his reverie when he heard her voice. “Yes, let’s go. I’ll send you home.”
Just like that, they entered the elevator one after another. “I can go home by myself. I’ve already caused. you much trouble for yesterday,” Roxanne rejected politely.
Lucian sounded calm. “Essie is at your place. I want to see her.” Since he had spelled things out so clearly, Roxanne could no longer refuse his offer.
The two got out of the elevator and walked to the hospital’s entrance when it started to drizzle. The light rain dispelled the sweltering heat. Many people on the road walked in it calmly.
Roxanne decided to brave the rain and run to the parking lot too. To her surprise, Lucian grabbed her by her waist as soon as she lifted her foot.
Halting in her tracks, Roxanne instinctively looked at him and wanted to break free from his grip. “You just recovered, so you’re still weak. It’s best to avoid the rain.” Lucian frowned slightly, and his deep voice sounded beside her ear.
Roxanne felt his breath on the side of her ear and a wave of numbness that came with it. She couldn’t help but be in a daze. By the time she snapped back to reality, Lucian was holding tightly onto her waist as they walked into the rain.
Lucian covered their heads with his coat as they strode toward the parking lot.
Seeing Lucian’s profile, Roxanne couldn’t help but think of how he took care of her yesterday, A warm feeling surged in her heart, and she couldn’t take her eyes off his face for a long time.
“Watch your step.” Lucian turned around suddenly and looked at her. When their eyes met, Roxanne felt her heart skip a beat. She tried to keep her composure and smiled. “Thank you.”
Lucian furrowed his brows as his eyes flickered. After yesterday’s incident, he felt reluctant to let go of Roxanne, who looked perfectly healthy. After a long while, he retracted his gaze with some self control.
The rain had stopped when the two reached the parking lot. The custom-made jacket Lucian used to shelter them from the rain was wet. Even his arms got soaked from the rain.
Standing by the side of the car, Roxanne watched him open the door and put his jacket on the back seat with no change in expression. After a moment of hesitation, she decided to sit in the passenger seat.
Soon, Lucian got into the car and drove toward her house. “I wonder what they are doing now.” Feeling uneasy by the silence inside the car, Roxanne quickly searched for a topic.
Lucian raised his eyes and glanced at her face reflected in the rearview mirror. “Cayden will take good care of them. You can call him if you’re worried.”
Roxanne grinned. “It’s okay. I believe Cayden will take good care of them.” As they spoke about the kids, Roxanne couldn’t help but think of how they left without hesitation this morning.
She wondered what was on the kids’ minds when they did that and decided to find the answer when she got home.
Meanwhile, at the mansion, Cayden bought breakfast for the kids. After breakfast, the three kids rushed upstairs and hid inside Archie and Benny’s room and started whispering among themselves.
“I wonder how Mommy is feeling now.” A frown instantly creased Benny’s brow as he sounded worried.
Patting his brother on the shoulder, Archie comforted, “Didn’t Mommy already say she’s okay now? Moreover, there’s Daddy beside Mommy, so she’ll be fine.”
Estella nodded vigorously. “Daddy will take good care of-” Suddenly, Estella faltered and looked at Archie and Benny timidly. In response, Archie and Benny gave her an encouraging look.
Estella finally said, “Daddy will take good care of Mommy! Mommy is incredibly skilled in medicine, so I’m sure she will be fine!”
As Estella spoke, she balled her fists to encourage herself. “The most important thing now is for Daddy and Mommy to get back together through this opportunity”
Archie analyzed rationally, “I think after what happened yesterday, Mommy will not avoid Daddy and Essie anymore!” A smile gradually bloomed on their faces. Estella, in particular, had a vibrant smile.
Seeing Estella’s beaming face, Benny couldn’t help but ask, “Essie, wouldn’t your mommy be sad if she finds out how much you adore Mommy?”
Hearing that, the smile on Estella’s face gradually faded, and she became a little down. Benny felt somewhat guilty and glanced at Archie, worried if he had said something wrong and had upset Estella.
Archie felt worried as well and wanted to change the topic. Before he could do that, Estella said hesitantly, “I don’t have a mommy.” Taken aback, Archie and Benny doubted their ears.
What does she mean by she doesn’t have a mommy? Benny frowned and was about to pursue the matter when suddenly a knock on the door sounded.
The kids quickly restrained their expressions and went to open the door. With a smile, Cayden stood at the door and said, “Let’s go downstairs and see who is here.”
After exchanging a suspicious glance, the kids scampered down. The kids were stunned for a moment when they saw the people coming in from the door. Then, a big smile appeared on their faces.
“Mommy!” The three kids quickly rushed toward Roxanne. Roxanne chuckled as she held all three of them in her embrace and patted them on their head.
“Mommy, why are you back so soon? Shouldn’t you spend more time at the hospital?” Worried, Archie looked at Roxanne. As Archie spoke, he glanced at Lucian as he had secret plans for them.
If Mommy stays for another two days at the hospital, Daddy will have more time to accompany her! Lucian knew Archie was glancing at him, but he didn’t know what was on the latter’s mind.
Meanwhile, Roxanne was rendered speechless by Archie’s question. “So you want me to stay at the hospital?” At that, the kids exchanged glances.
Archie answered with a serious look, “We’re only worried about you, Mommy. We thought maybe you should be hospitalized for at least. two days.”
A surge of warmth emerged in Roxanne’s heart after hearing that. Pretending to be torn, she looked at Archie. “But I miss you guys.” “We can visit Mommy at the hospital!” Benny’s cute voice rang out.
Amused by Benny, Roxanne couldn’t help but kiss him. Estella and Archie quickly moved closer to Roxanne after they saw her kissing Benny.
Archie stuck out his face before Roxanne straight away. With a smile, Roxanne planted a kiss on Archie’s cheek. Estella stood timidly behind Archie, not daring to go forward, but her face was full of anticipation.
A glint of guilt flashed in Roxanne’s eyes when she saw how Estella behaved. Estella was not like this in the past. The tension between her and Lucian had made Estella behave timidly in front of her.
Thinking of that, Roxanne smiled at Estella and pulled the latter close to her. Then, she kissed her on her chubby cheeks and hugged her tightly.
“Essie, I want to thank you for trying to wake me up with Archie and Benny. Otherwise, I don’t know when I’ll regain consciousness.”
Estella’s eyes gradually brightened, and a smile appeared on her little face after Roxanne thanked her. Roxanne felt Estella slowly wrapping her arms around her neck and smiled wider.
Just when she was about to let go, Estella suddenly kissed her on the face. Roxanne froze for a few seconds and was touched after the entire situation sunk in.
After witnessing Roxanne and Estella’s reconciliation, Archie and Benny rushed toward them excitedly, and each planted a kiss on Roxanne’s cheek.
Standing at the door, Lucian looked at Roxanne and the kids. There was a rare warmth emotion flashing in his eyes.
“Mr. Farwell.” Cayden approached him, Lucian looked away from the four and nodded in acknowledgment at Cayden. “Thank you for your hard work. Go home and have a rest.”
“I’ll leave now. Please call me whenever you need me.” Cayden bobbed his head in response Subsequently, he turned around to leave without hesitation.
