Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1702

Chapter 1702 The Kids Will Get Worried

As Lucian was already prepared for the worst, he nodded after hearing what she said.

“All right; I trust you. You're the best doctor I know, so you should be able to handle Jack's poison with ease.”

Roxanne wasn't expecting Lucian to be convinced so easily, so she was caught off guard when she heard him say that.

“However, you must promise me that you will be honest with me if you ever run into any further issues along the way,” Lucian added as he continued peeling the apple.

Having been snapped out of her dazed state, Roxanne nodded obediently in response. “All right.”

She then looked Lucian in the eye and said affectionately, “Thanks for believing in me, Honey.”

The ward fell into complete silence for a few seconds.

“W-What did you just call me?” Lucian asked with a look of joy and surprise in his eyes.

Roxanne didn't know what came over her just now, but she couldn't bring herself to say it again with him staring at her like that.

Her face burned bright red as she looked away to avoid his gaze.

Naturally, Lucian wasn't about to let her off the hook so easily. He quickly put the apple down and pressed on, “What did you just call me? Say it again!”

The sexual tension in the ward intensified as he continued to tease her.

Roxanne was about to hide under the blanket when her phone started ringing on the side.

Realizing that it was the ringtone she had chosen for her kids, Roxanne pushed Lucian back as she said, “Our kids are calling! Hurry up and answer the phone!”

She hadn't contacted them for a few days, so she figured they must have been worried sick.

Although Lucian had already told them that Roxanne was away on a business trip, Archie and Benny were very smart, so it was only natural that they would get worried about her.

Lucian had no choice but to stop teasing her and answer the phone. Even so, he kept his scorching gaze on her as he held the phone up to her ear.
