Early in the morning, Sonya arrived at the mansion.
She busied herself with helping the children wash up, chatting with them, and finally, having breakfast with them.
She wouldn't let the servants help and insisted on doing everything herself.
Her burn from the previous night had completely healed when she woke up this morning, which made her admire her daughter-in-law's medical skills.
Lucian didn't object to his mother's actions and even let her take the children to school.
When Roxanne woke up, she felt menstrual cramps and stayed in bed for a while.
When Sonya returned after taking the children to school, she found that Roxanne had just gotten up, and Roxanne's face didn't look good. Sonya immediately realized what was going on.
“Roxanne, since you're in pain like this, why don't you take the day off and rest? I'll make you a nourishing soup downstairs!” Sonya said, and before Roxanne could react, she went downstairs to the kitchen.
Shortly after, Lucian also called and asked if Roxanne was in a lot of pain. He suggested she take some painkillers to relieve it.
“I'm a doctor myself, so I know what to do about it. You can focus on work, and I'll take the day off. It's just that Mrs. Farwell made soup last night, and now, she wants to make soup for me again. I'm afraid she'll get burned again!”
Lucian said with a faint smile, “Roxanne, just give her an opportunity to do it. This is her karma!”
“Don't speak ill of your own mother like that. Anyway, I know what to do, and I'll take care of myself. Once my period is over, let's take our wedding photos,” Roxanne replied.
She still couldn't bring herself to call Sonya “Mom,” but Lucian didn't say anything about it.
After showering and getting ready, Roxanne felt the pain had eased a bit, so she slowly went downstairs.
