Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1629

Chapter 1629 I Want To Talk To Mommy

The next day at the Farwell residence, the kids woke up and were worried when they found out their parents didn't come home last night.

“Archie, let's call Mommy's phone!” Benny nudged his brother's arm.

Unease had been churning in the pit of the kids' stomachs ever since coming home from school yesterday.

They recalled the last time something happened to Roxanne and were concerned when they didn't hear back from Lucian and her.

Archie nodded with a frown, dialing Roxanne's number.

Benny's face fell when the dial tone went on for a long while. “What if something bad happened to Mommy...”

“No, Mr. Lawson said Mommy is away on a business trip. Maybe she's traveling and can't answer the phone,” Archie reassured. “How about we try Daddy's phone? Why didn't he come home either?”

Benny's face crumpled as he nodded, and Archie called Lucian.

In the hospital, Lucian saw Roxanne's phone light up with a call from the kids and glanced at her laying still in the hospital bed. He pondered for a moment and didn't answer the phone in the end, instead letting it ring until it stopped.

“Wake up. The kids are worried about you.” He grazed his fingertips over her pale cheek, which didn't garner a response.

Lucian's phone started ringing a while later. He fished it out to see it was a call from the kids.

His brows knitted, and he fought the heavy emotions before answering neutrally, “What is it, Archie?”

Hearing their father's voice sounding like normal alleviated the kids' worry.

Benny and Estella crowded forward before Archie could respond.
