Lucian glanced at his empty palm, then shifted his gaze to look at the woman before him. In a hoarse voice, he asked, “When did you wake up? Why didn’t you wake me up?”
Roxanne was too focused on the task and only realized the man was awake after hearing his voice. She hesitated for a moment, then continued with what she had been doing.
“You look like you were sound asleep. Besides, I am feeling better now, so I didn’t wake you up.”
She did not spare the man a glance as she spoke.
It was worth noting that Roxanne felt as if it was like a dream when she woke up to the sight of Lucian taking a short rest while holding her hand tightly earlier.
But soon after, the memories of what happened last night while she was half-asleep came to her mind.
She knew very well it was not a dream. Lucian had indeed taken care of her for the whole night.
For a bit, Roxanne had no idea how to describe her feelings after coming to that realization.
Then again, at the sight of Lucian’s tightly furrowed eyebrows and the visible signs of exhaustion on his face, she could not bear to wake him up and thus carefully pulled her hand out without him knowing.
Evidently, the man was so tired that he was unaware of the slight movements and remained asleep.
Since he was still asleep, Roxanne decided to take the chance to examine her condition before performing a simple acupuncture on herself.
Little did she expect Lucian to wake up when she was at the last step of removing the needles.
It was just that she became a little flustered after hearing the man’s voice.
“What are you doing?”
Rubbing his temples, Lucian languidly straightened his body. A slight frown marred his countenance at the sight of her actions.
Roxanne put on a calm pretense as she stared at the silver needle on the acupuncture point and pulled it out. “I gave myself a body check and felt that acupuncture could help detoxify my system.”

GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
Wish there was more to the story, like how the triplets end up and if the twins are as smart as their older siblings. Beautiful story 😊...
