Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1222

Roxanne could not resist asking, “Was Mr. Damaris here yesterday?”

As soon as she asked that question, Lucian’s expression shifted instantly, and the air around him grew heavy with tension.

She was taken aback by the change in him and wondered whether she had said something she should not have again.

It’s just that I happened to see Jack’s calls, and it reminded me that he was with me before I fell unconscious yesterday. Besides, he was right next to me when the gas was released.

As that thought crossed her mind, she could not help worrying a little over what had happened to him.

“Does he mean that much to you? Besides the kids, is he the first person you care about after recovering?” He stared at her intently, slowly moving closer to the hospital bed as he spoke.

Puzzled by his sudden anger, she frowned and asked, “I was only asking because I could see he tried calling me quite a few times. Moreover, he was with me when I got poisoned—”

“He was with you when you passed out,” Lucian said, cutting in before she finished her sentence.

Recalling the scene, Roxanne nodded without hesitation.

I don’t know whether I’m reading too much into it, but it seems as though Lucian’s statement has a deeper meaning.

Standing next to the bed, he gazed down at her and asked in an interrogative tone, “So, have you wondered why both of you inhaled the toxic gas, yet only you lost consciousness from getting poisoned and suffered severe symptoms while he’s still fit as a fiddle?”
