Roxanne sighed. “That has absolutely nothing to do with you. I just couldn’t help but feel bad for them. They were alone despite being ill, with no one to turn to for help. Even if I can provide them with the treatment they need, it will be difficult for them to survive without the support and care of someone else.”
Lucian was moved by her kindness. “We’ll figure out something. The most important thing now is to treat their sickness.”
Roxanne nodded. “I need to arrive at the nursing home as early as possible tomorrow. I couldn’t be there today, so I must work twice as hard tomorrow.”
It was almost six in the evening when Cayden finally arrived. After instructing Cayden to stay and wait for the car to be repaired, Lucian got into Cayden’s car and drove off with Roxanne. When they reached Jadeborough, it was already nine at night.
Lucian sent Roxanne to the hotel that Jack had booked for the doctors. After he unloaded her luggage from the car, he glanced at the night sky and said apologetically, “Sorry to have kept you so long.”
Roxanne smiled and replied, “It’s not your fault. No one expected the accident to happen. I should be thanking you instead for sending me here even though it’s already so late.”
She knew that they had made their way to the hotel that late at night because she did not want to be late for the medical consultation the next day. They could have waited for the car to be fixed and set off the next morning.
Lucian had asked Cayden to switch cars with them because he didn’t want her to be disappointed. “It’s getting late. I should head in now. Text me when you reach your accommodation,” Roxanne said before she turned around and entered the hotel.
Lucian stood rooted to the ground, upset at the thought that the woman was staying in the same hotel as Jack. However, he knew that he shouldn’t be kicking up a fuss about that, as Roxanne was solely focused on her elderly patients, hoping that they would recover soon.
Lucian received a call from Jonathan the moment Roxanne disappeared into the elevator. He glanced at the caller ID before answering the phone coolly.
“Are you guys okay?” Jonathan asked with a trace of panic in his voice. “We’re fine. What’s wrong?” Lucian replied while getting back into the car.
Jonathan’s expression changed slightly as he asked in disbelief, “If you’re fine, why didn’t you reply to my messages? I’ve been texting you all day. I thought something bad happened to you!”
After all, it was Jonathan’s idea for Lucian to intentionally get his car to break down on the road. He could never forgive himself if they had gotten into an accident because of that.
Jonathan had spent the entire day worrying and was hurt by Lucian’s nonchalant attitude. Lucian had merely told him that he and Roxanne were fine without going into any details and even asked him if anything was wrong.
Sensing Jonathan’s tone, Lucian finally realized that his friend had been worried about him. The corners of his lips curled up into a smile as he replied, “I saw your messages but didn’t get a chance to reply. It’s a beautiful town.”
Jonathan was slightly appeased after getting an acceptable explanation. Feeling concerned, he asked, “So did the two of you…”
If things had gone according to plan, both of them should be currently trapped in the town, and naturally, they would….
“We’re in Jadeborough now,” Lucian replied placidly. Jonathan gaped in shock when he heard that. “Jadeborough? Aren’t you supposed to be in town? Are both of you together now?”
“No. Jack booked a hotel for the doctors, and she’s there now,” Lucian replied. Jonathan gasped in disbelief. “You had such a good opportunity! I can’t believe you didn’t do anything.”
Alas, it seems that my idea has gone down the drain! Lucian explained helplessly, “She has a medical consultation at the nursing home early tomorrow morning, and most of the elderly there are seriously ill. After some thought, I decided I should take her here.”
Lucian could not help but feel guilty when he saw the pained look in Roxanne’s eyes as she spoke about the elderly. Jonathan was also in the medical field, so he could understand Roxanne’s feelings.
In an uncertain tone, he said, “But still, you should at least do something. You have already followed her to Jadeborough. Do you really intend to just watch over her like a knight in shining armor?”
Lucian furrowed his brows and replied, “What else can I do? I don’t know anything about medical consultation. Since you are in the medical industry as well, give me some tips, then.”
Jonathan held his forehead in exasperation. Is he seriously thinking of helping out at the nursing home tomorrow?
The man let out a long sigh in his heart before replying patiently, “From what you’re telling me, Roxanne and Jack are staying in the same hotel now. Aren’t you worried at all? You know Jack has ulterior motives toward Roxanne…”
The crease between Lucian’s brows grew deeper. He looked up at Roxanne’s room and saw that the lights had already been turned on. Recalling Jonathan’s words, Lucian could no longer sit still. Immediately, he opened the door and got out of the car.
Jonathan was still blabbering nonstop over the phone. After heading into the hotel, Lucian made a reservation for the room next to Roxanne’s. It was already almost ten at night when Roxanne entered her room.
She hesitated for a few seconds when she walked past Jack’s room but decided not to disturb him and proceeded straight to her own. room.
After a long day, Roxanne was drained. The first thing she did was take a shower. When she emerged from the bathroom, she noticed that her phone was ringing.
She cast a glance at the screen and saw Lucian’s name flashing on the caller ID.
Assuming that he was calling to tell her he had reached back safely, Roxanne answered the phone while drying her hair. “Are you back already?”
She heard a beeping sound on the other end of the line, which sounded like someone opening a door using a key card.
“I am. I just found out that the branch office had booked the same hotel for me. If I had known earlier, we could have walked together. Where’s your room?” he asked with a straight face.
A look of surprise and confusion flashed across Roxanne’s face when she heard that. She could not help but find it strange that the branch office did not inform Lucian of the arrangement earlier.
Besides, everything that happened that day. seemed to be too much of a coincidence. However, as it was nothing serious, Roxanne did not think much of it and told Lucian her room number straight away.
Right after she finished speaking, Lucian exclaimed, “808? What are the odds? I’m just next door.” Roxanne knitted her brows slightly. This is indeed too much of a coincidence…
If Lucian had not asked for her room number first, she would definitely have suspected that he had planned everything intentionally. Lucian remained standing outside the door while staring blankly in the direction of Roxanne’s room.
He and Jonathan had assumed that, after knowing that Lucian was staying next to her, the woman would have at least opened the door to take a look..
However, after he waited for some time, to his dismay, her door remained shut. Just then, Roxanne’s voice sounded. “It’s getting late. You should rest soon. You must be very tired after driving the entire day.”
She let out a yawn as she spoke. Clearly, it wasn’t appropriate for Lucian to suggest anything else. He had no choice but to agree. “You too.” Roxanne hummed in acknowledgment before ending the call.
Lucian stared at his phone and furrowed his brows in displeasure before entering his room. He could not believe that he had entertained Jonathan’s bad idea and was upset at himself for even having those thoughts.
He was worried that Roxanne would realize the uncanny string of coincidences and start doubting him. Meanwhile, Jonathan, who was at home, was wondering if he should call Lucian to ask about his progress when he suddenly felt his ear burning.
He rubbed his ear and decided against it. What if they are having… He did not want to interrupt the couple at the wrong moment and spoil the party. I’ll just wait until tomorrow!

This is a good book, but why is it that every time we think those 2 are getting together, you throw up people to interfere with them. I can not take the stress knowing people want them to be apart. Please give us chapters that allow Lucian to know the boys are his. I am looking for a HEA after the torture you are putting us through. Thank you for the updates.
Thanks author for the latest update. Appreciate it

Okay hopefully Roxanne will be smart enough to figure Jack out easily and set boundaries with him and quickly drown Lucian’s worries about Jack. More soon about who took Essie. I still think Jack knows about the boys, would he blackmail Roxanne! It’s all a mystery.
Love it,….please more
I like Jonathan. Jack is devious.
Hoping Roxanne would fall in love with Lucian the soonest. Cannot wait for the new chapters to be posted
Thanks for the hardwork in editing and posting the new chapters
Good book
Thanks to the author for such an amazing novel. Please, please upload the chapters more often, we your readers are starving for more. To my fellow readers, I can’t stand Jack. Roxanne also is clueless at times. Jack doesn’t give a damn about Roxanne kids wellbeing. All he wants is to get in the way for his own selfish reasons. Benny and Archie will surely teach him a lesson.
We waited days for new chapters and these one’s were very short!
Please update more chapters very soon please!! Thank you
It’s more interesting, waiting for upload of more chapters.
Thank you for update more chapters please getting more exciting, can’t wait.
Actually, I don’t really like modern novels, but I must say that this novel is very interesting. I would like to continue reading and even buy the book.
Compelling page turner looking forward to update. 🎈
Next chapter please. It’s very interesting
When will we get the remaining chapters?
Thank you for the update, more chapters please
Interesting. It is taking another turn. I can’t stand Jack’s manipulative attitude towards Roxanne taking advantage of her love of traditional medicine and kindness. I hope Roxanne understands his motives. Also, it is going to be exhausting for Lucian to continuously fight for her. I hope Roxanne informs Lucian soon that he is the biological father of Archie and Benny.
Please post more chapters soon.
Ready for the next round of chapters. Anxious to see what happens next.
Roxanne is too naive, doesn’t want to believe the guys have second intentions.
I can’t wait for Lucien to find out about the kids behind the the computer hacks
Nice story but I hate to have to wait too long for just 10 chapters

Thank you author for this interesting story 🌹🌹more chapters please the suspense is killing me
There didn’t happen much in this episodes because the author put too much effort into the case of Aubrye so most of the emphasis was wasted on her. Concentrate on your writings towards focusing on revealing the truth about Lucian and the boys.thanks for the episodes
Nice novel, please put more chapters.
Love it… Waiting for the next interesting chapters to read again
So, without $1, I can’t read this novel again. As much as I enjoy this novel. I don’t have $1 that I can spare. Some of us are not financially buoyant
So, in order to read the next chapters we have to give a $1? My question is do we get the rest of the book. Let me know. Thx
I’m curious too
Can we continue reading on this site.
Good plot. Waiting for more chapters
I love this story very much.,…I am trying to buy a coffee but my payment is getting approved….help me out pls
I’ve been trying to pay the 1 dollar bill for hours now, but it keeps bouncing back, I’m tired of trying 😩
There’s no more updates. They say that the next chapters can be found at other website. And charge us $1.
i love to read more chapters pls. i cannit enter in your website referred. pls help. i got no way to pay any cent. pls consider. i love to read more.
Can you make it 30 chapters added so I can read it this holy week.. pls.. thanks
Nice story. Trying to buy the author a story but I’m having difficulty in doing that. Help me out please. Thanks.
I don’t have an account to pay you… please how can I get chapters
Waiting for the next chapter…
How many days do we have to wait??
I want to continue reading but my xard is expired .Someone help please
I would like to support but the payment failed. Don’t know what to do to continue reading. Please help
Please upload more episodes as soon as possible. Enjoying the story
It seems we won’t get more chapters unless we pay a $1. That won’t work for me at the moment. How terrible.
So your really going to leave us in the cold,those of us that don’t have $1 to spare🤔
Also why is there only one way of paying? We don’t all of us use credit cards
I love the twist and turns of the story. Please more chapters
I am disappointed that there wouldn’t be more chapters without prior warning. The editor could give us at least some last chapters and tell us this would be the last unless we pay the $1.
I did the dollar but it wanted me to make an account and ask how I would use the website, I didn’t get more chapters, I am confused. You need to explain. Seems like fraud to me.
Why can’t I access more chapters I paid the dollar
Pls more chapters.. I love this novel pls
I tried paying the 1 dollar with a pre paid credit card and I am not getting through. Any help Any one
77 responses still no update🤔😔
Pls upload the next chapter, were waiting and excited to read the next chapters ☺️
Don’t know what is going on here they don’t seem to want pre paid cards they want bank account
Interesting novel
They took my dollar a few times and nothing. Seems like some kind of scam
This is not nice to your readers.
Feel like a scam they’re taking my money and not taking me to the site
Been trying for hours and losing my money
Not nice author
