Lucian went silent for a few seconds and glanced at Benny and Estella before massaging his temple. I'm indeed panicking. I wonder how Roxanne is doing now.
“Luckily, you're here.” With Benny and Estella in his arms, Lucian stood up and thanked Jonathan once again. However, his tone was not as courteous as before. “I'm losing my composure, but thanks to your reminder, I've managed to calm myself down again.”
Jonathan heaved a sigh of relief. “I've never seen you so anxious before. Don't worry. Roxanne is surely going to be fine.”
Having grown up with Lucian, Jonathan knew Lucian had only ever been cold and composed. If I didn't know him well enough to notice the slightest hints of emotion in his gaze, I would've thought he was an emotionless robot. I've never seen him show so much emotion.
Jonathan glanced at the kids in Lucian's arms and thought about Roxanne, who was lying on the hospital bed. Oh! Maybe love can really soften one's heart.
“Look after them for a while. I need to make a phone call.” Lucian passed the kids to Jonathan.
Jonathan looked at those adorable kids and carefully carried them in his arms. How should I hold them? If I hold them too tightly, I might wake them up. If I don't hold them tight enough, however, I might drop them!
Feeling helpless, Jonathan ended up squatting down slowly.
After that, he shot Lucian a wary look and asked, “Who are you calling? You're calling Jack, are you? Roxanne won't like it if she finds out about it!”
Jonathan had heard their conversation through the phone just now, so he knew the consequences would be severe if Lucian were to look for Jack.
Lucian shook his head in a placid manner. “I'm just going to call the hospital to ask about Roxanne.”
