Even he didn’t quite know how to tell the boys. about Roxanne’s condition at that moment. Before he could organize his words, Archie’s juvenile voice rang out. “Did something happen to Mommy? How is she right now?”
His voice was calm, and he sounded just like an adult. As he spoke, he even grasped his brother’s hand in consolation.
The young boy’s sensibility made Lucian’s heart clench bitterly. Archie and Benny waited for some time, but Lucian remained silent.
Thus, they pinned their gazes on the few men in white coats behind the man. Needless to say, the few specialists couldn’t withstand their intent stare. Just as they were about to explain, Lucian’s voice broke the silence.
“There was an accident when your mommy was carrying out an experiment, and she passed out. But don’t worry, for her life isn’t in danger. She merely hasn’t woken up yet.”
Lucian tried his best to sound gentle and soothing. When Archie and Benny heard that, their expressions changed drastically. No wonder we’ve been feeling uneasy the entire day. Something had really happened to Mommy!
“Mommy…” Knowing that Roxanne was in the hospital room behind Lucian, Benny immediately sprinted forward to go in for a look.
Lucian was already distressed because of Roxanne’s condition. At the sight of Archie and Benny in such anguish, another wave of sorrow washed over him. Nonetheless, he still reached out and held Benny back.
Anxious to see his mother, Benny struggled desperately. “I want to see Mommy! Mommy!” Despite that, Lucian’s grip on him remained firm. Seeing Benny in tears, the few specialists felt sorry for him.
However, if they were to allow Archie and Benny to barge in, the boys would likely throw themselves at Roxanne and wail incessantly. That would be of no help to the treatment.
On the contrary, Archie was far calmer than his brother. Although his eyes were also red- rimmed, he merely stood there quietly. “What do you need me and Benny to do?”
Mommy has likely been unconscious for a long time. At the very least, she has already been in such a condition when Mr. Lawson picked us up from school. At that time, Daddy asked him to keep it a secret from us. But now, Daddy suddenly had him bring us here. As such, there must be something in which he needs our help!
Archie and Benny’s devastation had utterly broken the specialists’ hearts.
However, Archie’s calmness under such circumstances left them in awe. A strange look flittered across Lucian’s eyes, but he swiftly gathered his wits.
He started, “Do you still remember the play we staged back then?” In response, Archie bobbed his head.
Lifting his hand, Lucian stroked the boy’s head and elaborated in a deep voice, “Your mommy is Sleeping Beauty right now. She’s merely asleep and needs you two to wake her up. Don’t cry after entering the room. Instead, talk to her.”
Sniffling, Archie nodded. “Understood.” After saying that, he reached out and took his brother’s hand.
Initially, Benny was bawling ceaselessly. When Archie grasped his hand, he slowly fell silent though tears continued streaming down his face.
“Can we go in now?” Archie looked up at the adults in front of him. Nodding profusely, the few specialists made. way for the boys.
Lucian spun around, leading Archie and Benny into the hospital room. No sooner had he opened the hospital room door than the two boys rushed over to the hospital bed on their short legs.
“Mommy!” As Benny gazed at Roxanne’s sleeping countenance, his tears which had finally ceased started pouring again..
At long last, Archie similarly couldn’t control his emotions any longer and started crying. Meanwhile, Lucian stood at the door. He waited. for a few seconds before dragging his feet into the room.
“Be good, and don’t cry anymore. Talk to your mommy. She must be eager to hear your voices.”
Through their tears, Archie and Benny nodded. Lucian turned and cast a look at the woman on the bed. “Archie and Benny are here. Hurry up and wake up.”
Having said that, he gazed solemnly at the boys before pivoting and retreating to the corner.
Flinging themselves at the hospital bed, Archie and Benny clutched Roxanne’s hand outside the covers. They found her hand warm, as though someone else had been holding it earlier.
Nevertheless, they hadn’t the time to ponder upon it. In juvenile voices, they started speaking into Roxanne’s ear. “We’re worried sick about you, Mommy. Can you please not sleep anymore? We’re scared…”
“Hurry up and wake up, Mommy. If you wake up, we’ll behave and listen to you. We’ll never make you mad anymore…” As they spoke, they began choking on tears.
Even Lucian couldn’t bear listening to them any longer. However, when he shifted his gaze to Roxanne, he saw that her eyes remained tightly shut.
Lucian couldn’t help taking Roxanne to task inwardly. Are you really this ruthless, Roxanne? Archie and Benny are in tears by your bed. Don’t you feel sorry for them at all? Why are you not waking up?
Throughout it all, Archie and Benny’s weeps echoed in the hospital room. Lucian forcefully slammed his fist against the wall behind him before storming out of the hospital room.
“Well? Are her brain waves fluctuating?” The chilliness around him was so intense that it might condense into ice.
If there’s no response from Roxanne when Archie and Benny are crying their hearts out, I’ll never let these quack doctors who proposed such a dumb idea off the hook!
As a matter of fact, the specialists were also keeping an eye on the situation in the hospital room. When they saw Archie and Benny wailing, they were as anxious as Lucian.
“Mr. Farwell, you can come over here and have a look.” A specialist stood up and offered his seat, urging Lucian over for a look at the brain waves’ fluctuation.
Leaning down, Lucian swept his gaze over the screen, only to see that the curve was fluctuating violently. “The curve fluctuated as well when you spoke to Ms. Jarvis earlier, but not as intense as this.”
Pointing at the curve, the specialist continued. explaining, “It’s evident that having the kids talk to her is effective to a certain degree.”
Lucian’s brows knitted together deeply. Since Roxanne can hear the kids, why is she not waking up?
The thought of Archie and Benny weeping so hard that they could barely breathe had him seized by the urge to kill the person who poisoned Roxanne.
When the specialist glanced at the window and saw that Archie and Benny were blubbering so badly that they couldn’t speak anymore, he bit the bullet and advised Lucian, “Mr. Farwell, the kids aren’t doing so well. You should go in and look in on them.”
Putting his thoughts away, Lucian returned to the room with huge strides. “Mr. Farwell…”
Sobbing, Benny grabbed his hand and led him to the side of the hospital bed. Lucian allowed the boy’s sweaty hand to grab onto him. Reaching the hospital bed, he stared down at Roxanne’s sleeping countenance.
Sniveling, Benny asked, “Can Mommy really hear us? Why… Why is she not awake yet?”
Lucian lifted his hand and patted the boy on the head in consolation. In an uncertain tone, he assured, “Yes, she has heard you. She’s also trying her best to wake up. Let’s help her by continue talking to her.”
Skepticism was written all over Archie and Benny’s faces. Regretfully, Lucian didn’t know how else he could comfort them. Benny couldn’t resist reaching out and giving his mother a push.
Following that, Roxanne’s body swayed. Upon seeing that, Lucian frowned slightly. Just as he wanted to stop Benny from doing so, Archie’s voice drifted into his ear.
“Mommy!” Archie had seemingly discovered. something. He snapped his eyes up at Lucian. “Quick, look, Mr. Farwell! Is Mommy going to wake up?”
