Chapter 954 A Deliberate Act Of Sabotage
After Archie, Benny, and Estella had dozed off, Roxanne turned off the small night light in the tent. Consequently, the tent was pitch-dark right then, and she had no idea whether Lucian was asleep on the other side.
Well, I didn’t hear any movement in a long time, so he has probably gone to sleep. At that thought, Roxanne quietly got up and left the tent. She sat outside under the moonlight alone and stared blankly into space.
The weather had been great for the past two days. The moon shone brightly, but there weren’t many stars in the sky.
For safety reasons, Lucian had the headlights turned on, illuminating the tent’s surroundings and rendering it like daylight.
As Roxanne looked at the scenery around her, her mind gradually began drifting. Too many things had happened that day.
At first, the children suddenly contracted a bacterial infection. Then, she inexplicably ended up in the same space as Lucian. Both of the incidents had her emotions turn into a jumbled mess.
While she was distracted, movement abruptly sounded behind her. Jumping in fright, she reflexively jerked her head back. Her entire body was tense, and she was ready to defend herself anytime.
When she made out the person behind her, she gradually relaxed her guard.
“What are you thinking about out here instead of sleeping at this hour?”
Lucian stepped out of the tent and regarded the woman before him with a frown.
In truth, the same could be said of him.
Earlier, he unexpectedly heard rustling sounds that signaled someone leaving from the other side of the tent and thought that Roxanne would be back shortly.
To his surprise, he didn’t hear any movement after waiting for some time.
Worried, he came out to check on her.
Little did he expect that he would be greeted by the sight of her sitting under the moonlight and zoning out no sooner had he left the tent.
Roxanne was dumfounded for several seconds.
