She did not want him to feel anxious. Furthermore, Roxanne did not think that the hospital could identify the root cause.
With some extra time on hand, she was more inclined to study her condition on her own. Since her symptoms were not serious, Roxanne thought she could take her time and check on her health.
Conversely, Lucian remained resolute. “It’s best you get a thorough check-up at the hospital. A doctor can’t treat himself, and there’s no guarantee you took your pulse correctly. There’s a hospital nearby owned by Queen Group. I’ll take you there.”
Roxanne knew how worried he was, so she stopped insisting. “If going to the hospital would make you feel better, let’s go then.”
Subsequently, she placed her fingers on her wrist discreetly, trying to figure out what was wrong with her pulse. Lucian, on the other hand, accelerated all the way. Unbeknownst to Roxanne, her face looked exceptionally pale.
As time went by, Lucian started to sense something was amiss. Roxanne’s lips became darker and darker, to the extent that they turned purple! No, this doesn’t look like a regular illness. She seems to have been poisoned!
“I’m going to call Cayden and ask him to pick the kids up.” He tried to engage her in a conversation while driving. “Is there any message you want him to pass to the children?”
At that point, Roxanne’s consciousness was slowly drifting away. Finally, she realized how serious her condition was.
She felt so weak, and her eyelids were getting heavier by the second. Before she could utter one more word, her head fell toward the door, and she fainted.
“Roxanne!” Lucian floored the accelerator as he struggled to reach her hand. He was shocked to find out how icy-cold her hands were. Lucian kept rubbing her hands to keep her warm..
“We’re almost there, Roxanne. Everything will be fine. I won’t let anything happen to you…” He did not know if the words spoken were meant to comfort Roxanne or himself.
Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly whipped out his phone. He called the hospital and requested that all the medical specialists from each department be on standby.
After hanging up, he still did not feel at ease. Immediately, he instructed his men to search for the best specialists in the world and bring them over by private jets.
As soon as Lucian arrived at the hospital, Roxanne was rushed into the emergency room by the doctors and nurses.
The hospital director was keeping Lucian company outside the emergency room, and he comforted Lucian by saying, “Mr. Farwell, all the best doctors in the city are here. Mrs. Farwell is going to be fine!” Lucian ignored those words and kept staring at the light on top of the emergency room door.
At that moment, images of Roxanne’s face growing increasingly pale kept playing in his mind, and he felt utterly helpless. I had to watch the woman I love fall unconscious, and there was nothing I could do. I don’t even know what happened to her! This is the second time something like that has happened to her! The last time around, she almost couldn’t wake up. What’s going to happen this time? If something bad were to happen to her…
With that in mind, Lucian narrowed his eyes ferociously. If something happens to her, I’m going after Jack! If Jack hadn’t made life difficult for her, Roxanne wouldn’t have overworked herself! None of this would’ve happened!
As he was boiling with rage, his phone suddenly rang. Lucian quickly composed himself. When he was about to reject the call, he saw it was a call from Pippa. Oh! I meant to call Cayden and tell him to fetch the kids. However, Roxanne fainted, and I forgot about that.
Lucian answered the call and uttered in a hoarse voice, “I’m sorry, Ms. Ward. Please look after the kids for a while more. I’ll get Cayden to fetch them.”
Naturally, Pippa readily agreed. After hanging up the phone, Lucian called Cayden and instructed him to fetch the kids.
“Mr. Farwell, what if the kids ask about Mrs. Farwell?” After what happened the last time around, Cayden felt he needed to get Lucian’s opinion. Even if I need to lie to the kids later, I can tell myself that Mr. Farwell ordered me to do So.
Lucian went silent for a moment and glanced at the red light. In a deep voice, he answered, “Tell them Roxanne is going on a business trip, and I need to send her.”
Cayden hummed in agreement, hung up the phone, and rushed to the kindergarten. Meanwhile, Lucian kept his phone and tried his best to stay calm while standing outside the emergency room expressionlessly.
After some time, the door to the emergency room was finally pushed open. Lucian grabbed the doctor’s arm and asked coldly, “How did it go? Is Roxanne awake?”
The doctor was frightened by Lucian’s aura. Upon glancing at the hospital director, the doctor stammered, “N-Not yet… We were about to do something to save her, but we found nothing wrong with Mrs. Farwell after we examined her…”
In other words, the doctor hadn’t done anything after keeping Roxanne inside for so long. “All of you are trash! Why didn’t you tell me earlier? If something happens to Roxanne, I’m going after all of you!” Lucian fumed.
The rest of the doctors who came out of the emergency room were all trembling with fright. Right then, the hospital director stepped forward and consoled, “Mr. Farwell, I’ve already looked for the best doctors in the world as per your instructions. They’re still on the plane and will be here early tomorrow morning at the latest.”
“Tomorrow morning?” Lucian repeated. The hospital director could not stop himself from shuddering and changed the topic by saying, “Mrs. Farwell has now been transferred to the ward on the top floor. Would you like to see her? Perhaps you can wake her up.”
Five minutes later, Lucian arrived in the ward on the top floor. By then, Roxanne was already wearing a hospital gown as she lay on the hospital bed with her pale face and purplish lips. Needless to say, she looked fatally ill.
Lucian was so heartbroken that he was having trouble breathing. After standing by the bed for a long time, Lucian finally found the courage to ask, “Roxanne, can you hear me?” He leaned over, enduring the pain in his heart, and touched Roxanne’s cheek.
Of course, there was no response from Roxanne. Lucian couldn’t help but check her breathing to make sure she was still alive.
Unable to bear watching her in that state, he turned around to order the hospital director, “The moment those doctors arrive, send them to me immediately!”
The hospital director quickly assented. Lucian didn’t sleep that night. Instead, he was sitting beside the hospital bed and checking Roxanne’s breathing every ten minutes.
At five in the morning, a few cars arrived at the hospital with the doctors in them. The group of renowned doctors didn’t have time to rest, either. Instead, they were immediately brought to Roxanne’s ward.
As soon as they entered, they were intimidated by the icy atmosphere in the ward. Lucian was seen rising to his feet and making room for the doctors.
Although he hadn’t said a word, his presence alone was intimidating enough. The doctors knew they would be in trouble if something were to happen to Roxanne.
Sensing that, the doctors were all acting with caution. However, no matter how they examined Roxanne, they came to the same findings as the doctors did the day before. They just couldn’t find what was wrong with Roxanne.
“You all are trash!” Lucian lost his cool. “Buzz off! From today onward, Farwell Group is going to stop sponsoring your projects!”
Upon hearing those words, the doctors looked at each other. Everyone knew how wealthy the Farwell family was. Without the Farwell family’s financial support, it would be hard for them to take part in international medical projects. Obviously, that was a tremendous blow for those renowned doctors.
“Mr. Farwell, I think Mrs. Farwell’s condition is extremely unique. Please give us more time to find out what’s going on,” an esteemed and elderly doctor voiced out. “I promise you nothing is going to happen to Mrs. Farwell for the time being. She’s merely unconscious.”
“For the time being?” Lucian glanced at the doctor coldly before he asked bluntly, “How long is that going to be? Will you be able to give me an exact time frame? Even if you can do that, how are you going to promise me Roxanne will be fine?”
The doctors were rendered speechless. The air in the ward felt as if it was frozen, and none of them dared to breathe out loud or leave.
Suddenly, the ringing of a phone broke the solemn silence in the ward. Everyone instantly glanced in the direction of the sound and saw Lucian’s phone, which was on the bedside table, ringing.
In an instant, everyone held their breath and waited to see who was dumb enough to call Lucian at that time. Lucian picked up the phone. Right when he was about to reject the call, he saw the name on the caller ID. It was a call from Jack.
When Lucian saw the name, his heart sank, and he answered the call with a grim look on his face “Mr. Farwell, I didn’t expect you to answer my call! I thought-”
