At that, she quickly took the sprays over and sprayed the children all over.
Fortunately, the spray they formulated worked in no time. Mere seconds after Roxanne sprayed the children all over, they stopped itching, simply in a daze from the high fever.
After spraying them all over, she turned and looked at the man behind her. She handed the spray in her hand to him. “Go and deal with it in the bathroom, Mr. Farwell.”
Dipping his head slightly, Lucian took the spray and went into the bathroom.
Roxanne, on the other hand, opened another bottle of spray and sprayed herself in the bedroom.
Having done that, she sprayed the room. Then, she took some disinfectant upstairs and sanitized the room.
When she had finished sanitizing the place, Lucian so happened to step out of the bathroom.
At the sight of her bustling around in the bedroom, he strode forward with a frown, planning to help.
“Carry the kids out. This room has to be left unoccupied for two days,” Roxanne instructed, noticing his intention.
Upon hearing that, Lucian swiftly changed directions. He carried the children downstairs one by one and placed them on the couch for the time being. Subsequently, he headed back to Roxanne’s bedroom.
It was the middle of the night, so Roxanne was a tad drowsy after she had finished doing everything. She was planning to go downstairs to check on the children when she collided with a solid chest the moment she turned around.
Before she realized what had happened, Lucian had already reached out and supported her by the waist.
Roxanne was stumped for several seconds before she abruptly jolted back to reality. At once, she backed away. “Why are you back?”
“The kids are all asleep, so I came upstairs to see whether you needed my help,” Lucian replied in a deep voice.
Tilting her head a fraction in acknowledgment of his reply, Roxanne lifted the spray in her hand. “I’ve already dealt with things here. Next, you need to sanitize your car thoroughly.”
Lucian grunted in acquiescence.
The two of them went downstairs, one after another, to sanitize his car.
“Are there any valuable things in the car?” Roxanne asked, glancing over her shoulder at Lucian after having sanitized the car. She then elaborated, “The windows have to be opened tonight for the air to circulate overnight. Then, the car can be used tomorrow.”
In response, Lucian shook his head.
Thus, Roxanne rolled down all four windows fully. Having done that, she reminded him, “Remember to also sanitize your house tomorrow. This bacteria is highly contagious.”
Lucian murmured in affirmation before following her back into the mansion unhurriedly.
The children’s symptoms had been alleviated by far after they had used the spray. Hence, they would be fine once their fever abated.
However, it was evidently uncomfortable for them to sleep on the couch, for all three of them were sleeping rather fitfully.
“Mommy, Daddy…” Benny muttered as he opened his eyes dazedly and saw the two adults entering the house.
Hearing that, Roxanne merely assumed that he was talking in his sleep. But still, her heart inexorably lurched, and she stole a peek at the man beside her on reflex.
Meanwhile, Lucian frowned, for he thought Benny was dreaming about the man who abandoned him and his mother.
At that possibility, he swung his gaze at the woman beside him with a dark look in his eyes.
On the contrary, Roxanne had no idea of his thoughts. When she locked gazes with him, she merely felt guilty, fearful he had perceived Archie and Benny’s identities.
As Lucian glimpsed her expression, his gaze darkened further.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time, different thoughts running through their minds. Roxanne was the first to avert her gaze. She suggested airily, “Let’s carry them to the guest room on the first floor. That room can still be occupied.”
Languidly retracting his gaze, Lucian leaned down and scooped Archie and Benny up. He then whirled around and headed toward the guest room.
Roxanne, on the other hand, carefully scooped Estella up and entered the room behind him.
After having settled the three children, Lucian and Roxanne looked at each other. The second floor had to be left unoccupied, and there was only one guest room on the first floor. The only remaining room was Lysa’s room.
While Roxanne was wondering where she should house Lucian, the man offered, “I’ll make do on the couch.” Having said that, he went over to the spot in question.
Roxanne’s brows creased slightly. But on second thought, there are only a few hours until dawn, and he might not necessarily be able to sleep well even if he manages to fall asleep. Besides, I really have no place for him to sleep.
At that thought, she didn’t say anything further. She merely took a blanket from the guest room and handed it to the man. Reaching out, Lucian took it from her and urged lowly, “It’s late, so you should rest as well.”
Roxanne inclined her head imperceptibly. When she recalled Benny’s mumbles in his dream earlier, a peculiar feeling surged within her, and she couldn’t help explaining, “Just now… Benny must have been having some bizarre dream. Please don’t take it to heart, Mr. Farwell.”
Her words had Lucian frowning slightly. In consideration that she had worked hard that night, he initially planned to ignore Benny’s remark earlier. Yet, she just had to bring it up again.
“Archie and Benny never had a father since young, so—” Roxanne added guiltily, feeling ill at ease when he said nothing even after some time had passed.
Before she had finished speaking, Lucian cut her off coldly, “I know he was merely talking in his dream. I won’t take it to heart.”
Upon hearing that, Roxanne was inevitably stunned for a few seconds. Subsequently, she furtively breathed a sigh of relief.
Although his tone isn’t all that amicable, at the very least, he has made his stance clear. Moreover, from the look of things, it doesn’t seem as though he has perceived Archie and Benny’s identities.
Not daring to say anything further, she briefly bid him good night and went into Lysa’s room.
Her emotions were a jumbled mess as she lay on the bed. She couldn’t sleep even after a long time had passed.
In the living room, Lucian was all conflicted. He lay on the couch with his eyes closed and brows creased deeply.
An indeterminate time passed, but sleep didn’t come.
The urge to simply get up and settle work matters gripped him.
No sooner had he moved an inch than he heard the soft click of a door opening. On the heels of that, a series of cautious footsteps drifted into his ears.
They sounded as though they originated in the direction of Roxanne’s room.
Lucian frowned, but ultimately, he remained lying on the couch and feigned sleep.
I’m pretty sure she doesn’t want to face me right now.
In truth, Roxanne indeed couldn’t sleep and wanted to come out to get a glass of water.
The instant she stepped out of her room, her first reaction was to cast her gaze in the direction of the couch. Seeing that Lucian was seemingly sound asleep, she tiptoed out of the room.
After she had taken a drink, she happened to walk past the couch on her way back to her room. She instinctively looked down at the man sleeping soundly on the couch.
With the light from her room, she could see that half the blanket on him was already out of place. That aside, his brows were knitted together deeply, seemingly indicating a fitful sleep.
She didn’t think much about it, merely presuming that he accidentally flung the blanket off in his sleep. After a moment’s hesitation, she circled the couch and carefully grasped a corner of the blanket to tuck it around him.
Unexpectedly, before she could do anything, Lucian suddenly awakened from his sleep and cut his gaze over with a frown.
In the darkness, Roxanne sensed a pair of eyes fixated on her.
She lifted her eyes reflexively, only to meet the man’s dark gaze.
“I…” She subconsciously wanted to explain herself, but a gigantic hand seized her wrist as soon as she did so.
In the next heartbeat, she ended up in the man’s arms.

Also, Auvree needs to be infected and Rixanne will save her life and the news media and those doctors will all give Roxanne credit and she will be fully redeemed on the medical . Also,Lucian will be able to buy that pharmaceutical company that originally turned him dow at the sane agreed upon price

Still waiting for an update
I’m wondering what is the reason the chapters aren’t always available, it’s hard to keep your interest in the storywhen you only give 10 very small chapters and the such a long time between.
Please send more updates so we find our snout Catalina and what that evil women is up to now!
Please why do you take long time to upload the other chapters. Kindly do it soon. Very interesting. Need more.
No updates 🥲checking every now and then.
So grateful if you post the next chapters the soonest, please. . .
Btw, if Lucian is said to be inteligent & capable, why can’t he grasped the meaning of Benny’s calling them “Mommy & Daddy?”. He should have connected the dots.
Quite an interesting story…
More story please.
Please update this story or send us the link to translate ourselves
Thanks
