Lucian couldn’t hear what Jonathan told them, but he did notice the rapid change in their facial expressions.
It didn’t take long before Jonathan successfully convinced the kids to go with him.
“I’ll take the kids out for a meal and bring them back here in a bit. You should go keep Dr. Jarvis company!” he said with all three of the kids standing next to him.
Lucian nodded. “Thanks a lot.”
Jonathan simply let out a casual chuckle and led the kids into the elevator.
There was still a hint of doubt in Lucian’s eyes as he watched the elevator doors close, but he figured it would be safe to entrust Jonathan with the kids.
After taking a few seconds to recollect himself, Lucian turned around and made his way into the ward.
Unbeknownst to him, Roxanne had heard his footsteps from inside the ward. Realizing that Lucian was coming in alone this time, she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
“I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. I can’t force you to accept me after this incident, but Archie and Benny need a father,” Lucian said in a deep voice.
Roxanne felt tense up out of fear of what he would say next.
“If you won’t let me be their father, then I can help you find their biological father instead. At the very least, I’ll make sure he fulfills his responsibilities as their father,” Lucian continued.
Roxanne’s eyes shot open when she heard that.
I won’t be able to keep their true identities a secret if Lucian decides to investigate! I can’t afford to lose them!
She opened her mouth and was about to say something but got cut off by a sudden splitting headache.
“What’s wrong?” Lucian asked when he saw that she was in pain.
