Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 469

Chapter 469

Roxanne was able to convince the other kids too. She managed to coax them to lie on the bed so she could give them a check-up.

Most of the kids were very healthy. After taking Roxanne’s sweets, they left happily.

The remaining kids were those who had congenital diseases. Hiding in a corner, they cried timidly. When the doctors wanted to give them another check-up, they shrank back and refused to cooperate.

Since they had been abandoned as a young child, they did not even dare to cry out loud and merely sobbed quietly.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the cubicle became very tense.

Roxanne’s heart ached as she stared at the kids. Although she could not bear to continue, she suppressed it and consoled them, “Don’t cry. You are all very brave, aren’t you? You are just feeling a bit uncomfortable. It’s no big deal! We’re here to help you solve this problem! If you’re obedient, you’ll recover in no time!”

Knowing that they were ill, the kids were extremely terrified. They could not hear Roxanne’s consolations and continued crying.

Roxanne’s heart ached terribly. She could not help but stroke one of the kids’ faces. “Don’t be scared! I’m here with you. You’ll all recover and grow up healthily!”

As she spoke, she could not help but remember her own child, who died prematurely, and Estella, who also had a mental illness. She stared at the kids in front of her, her eyes reddening.

When the kids noticed her eyes turning red, they knew that it was because of them. Their sobs became softer.

Looking at how careful the kids were, Roxanne did not know what to say. She was afraid that if she spoke, she would sound like she was crying.

Larry and Jack were standing behind her. When they saw her coaxing the children patiently, they fell silent at the same time.

Naturally, their heart ached for the children too. However, as they did not know how lo console the children, all they could do was stare at them.

Although it was not Jack’s first time witnessing this scene, he had never felt so touched before.
