“Mommy, why are you back so soon? Shouldn’t you spend more time at the hospital?” Worried, Archie looked at Roxanne.
As Archie spoke, he glanced at Lucian as he had secret plans for them.
If Mommy stays for another two days at the hospital, Daddy will have more time to accompany her!
Lucian knew Archie was glancing at him, but he didn’t know what was on the latter’s mind.
Meanwhile, Roxanne was rendered speechless by Archie’s question. “So you want me to stay at the hospital?”
At that, the kids exchanged glances.
Archie answered with a serious look, “We’re only worried about you, Mommy. We thought maybe you should be hospitalized for at least two days.”
A surge of warmth emerged in Roxanne’s heart after hearing that. Pretending to be torn, she looked at Archie. “But I miss you guys.”
“We can visit Mommy at the hospital!” Benny’s cute voice rang out.
Amused by Benny, Roxanne couldn’t help but kiss him.
Estella and Archie quickly moved closer to Roxanne after they saw her kissing Benny.
Archie stuck out his face before Roxanne straight away.
With a smile, Roxanne planted a kiss on Archie’s cheek.
Estella stood timidly behind Archie, not daring to go forward, but her face was full of anticipation.
A glint of guilt flashed in Roxanne’s eyes when she saw how Estella behaved.
Estella was not like this in the past.
The tension between her and Lucian had made Estella behave timidly in front of her.
Thinking of that, Roxanne smiled at Estella and pulled the latter close to her. Then, she kissed her on her chubby cheeks and hugged her tightly.
“Essie, I want to thank you for trying to wake me up with Archie and Benny. Otherwise, I don’t know when I’ll regain consciousness.”
