Chapter 577
The atmosphere turned awkward.
Noticing that her children weren’t making a move, Roxanne fell into a dilemma.
She thought that Lucian had already returned to the hotel with Estella.
Therefore, even though Archic rani off to find help, Roxanne had assumed that he would bring a stranger back
She did not expect for him to drag Lucian back here.
Roxanne was trying to act tough in front of them, but Archie and Benny weren’t allowing her to do that. In the end, they did not make a move to help her at all.
No one made a move for a while.
Roxanne gritted her teeth and placed a hand on the ground in order to push herself up.
Lucian seemed to have noticed what she was about to do for a look of displeasure flashed across his eyes.
Roxanne’s movements froze.
In the next moment, Lucian made a move.
Under Roxanne’s gaze, he walked over to her and bent over to take hold of her ankle.
She instinctively tried to avoid his touch, but she was too slow. Lucian had seized hold of her ankle and raised it up.
Feeling his fingers brush across her wound, Roxanne reflexively tried to pull her leg back, and Lucian also let go of her ankle at the same time.
Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Lucian stood back up and walked over to her side. He seemed to have noticed something for his brows furrowed. In a fluid motion, he took off liis coat.
Roxanne frowned at the sight. “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Farwell, but I’m not cold.”
However, Lucian ignored her protests and sternly placed his coat over her shoulders. “You’re hurt, Ms. Jarvis. The children are already so worried, and if you catch a cold, Essic might start crying again.”
