The funeral was a simple affair.
That night, Roxanne watched over her father's body at the Jarvis residence, feeling a heavy weight on her chest.
Grant's death meant she was left with no parents in this world, which made her sad.
As a doctor, she had witnessed too much loss in the world and often tried to suppress her emotions.
Even so, she couldn't help feeling sorry for herself at that moment.
After taking the children home, Lucian returned to the mansion.
His gentle gaze lifted Roxanne'’s spirits, and they sat in silence.
As the temperature continued to drop, Lucian offered her two additional jackets.
Later on, Elias and Sonya arrived, and they assured the young couple, "Cayden will take care of the children, and the bodyguards are watching over them too.Don't worry."
Roxanne was grateful for their support and the fact that they were there for her even though it was so late.
Despite that, she suggested, "Dad, Mom, it's too cold here.You should go back.Lucian and I will stay here.After the funeral tomorrow, everything will be over."
However, Elias and Sonya refused.
Elias declared, "From now on, Sonya and I are your true parents, Roxanne.The Farwell family will always support you!"
Nodding, Sonya agreed with determination, "Don't worry.If anyone dares to harm you, that means they're going up against the entire Farwell family.I was too dumb and made too many mistakes in the past, but from now on, I'll be a good mother to you."
Upon hearing this, Roxanne felt that her heart was torn between bitterness and joy, and she couldn't control the flood of emotions that caused tears to suddenly stream down her cheeks.
Those words were exactly what she needed to hear right now.
Seeing that she was crying, Sonya became anxious.She handed Roxanne a tissue and wiped her tears carefully.
"Why are you crying? Don't be sad, Roxanne.Don't cry anymore.Grant isn't worth your tears."
"I'm not crying for him.Thank you, Mom and Dad!"
At that moment, Roxanne truly regarded Elias and Sonya as her biological parents.
