Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1698

Chapter 1698 Is He Gone

Roxanne could tell that he was worried, so she sat up slowly on the bed and said, “Don't worry. I'm really fine. The doctors said I'm recovering. Besides, I can feel the antidote you brought worked.”

Lucian cast her a gloomy gaze. “Do you remember what you said?”

Roxanne chuckled and assured, “I'll tell you if anything happens.”

Only then did Lucian feel slightly relieved.

Roxanne's gaze drooped slightly with a hint of worry fleeted across.

“What are you thinking about?” Lucian asked softly when he noticed something was amiss with her.

Roxanne quickly dismissed her thoughts, recollected herself, and looked up. “I'm worried about the kids. I can't help but think how they are doing now.”

When he heard that, the suspicion in his gaze dissipated. “Since you're already awake, we can give them a call at night. They'll be relieved to hear from you.”

Roxanne bobbed her head. “Hopefully.”

With that, she looked down again.

Seeing that, Lucian furrowed his brows, and worry filled his gaze again. “Are you feeling discomfort anywhere?”

Roxanne looked up innocently before caressing her belly with a sigh.

“After being unconscious for several days, I'm feeling a little hungry. And speaking about the kids made me think of the desserts they eat. So, I feel like eating some desserts now.”

“I'll get you some,” said Lucian without hesitation.

Roxanne frowned, looking troubled. “But I just woke up, and I'm not allowed to eat greasy stuff. Desserts are out of the question.”

Lucian could sense the emotion in her voice, and his heart softened.
