The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 956

Chapter 956 Discovered Something
By the time Roxanne woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Archie, Benny, and Estella eyeballing her earnestly in a file.
“Mommy!”
“Ms. Jarvis!”
Seeing that she had awakened, the children greeted her in unison and threw themselves at her while giggling away.
At the sight of the three soothing countenances, Roxanne’s heart melted in a flash.
She reached out and stroked their heads before slowly sitting up.
Since she had just awoken, she was still a tad disorientated. She couldn’t shake off the feeling that she had seemingly forgotten something.
Be that as it may, the three children in front of her gave her no time to ponder upon that.
“How are you guys feeling?” Roxanne scrutinized them in concern.
Last night, she thought they would have recovered after ingesting the medicine.
Unexpectedly, Benny still felt unwell. That was the only reason she agreed to let them stay overnight.
I wonder how much they’ve have recovered now.
At her question, Benny flashed her a guilty smile. “I’m fine now. I’m feeling much better after a good night’s sleep!”
Still worried, Roxanne checked the children over again and ascertained that there were no problems before dropping the matter.
Just when she let go of their hands, Estella’s stomach started growling all of a sudden.
It wasn’t until then that she remembered that they hadn’t eaten much when they took ill last night.
But I never expected us to spend the night here and neglected to prepare sufficient food. There’s still food left from yesterday, but it isn’t fresh anymore. On top of that, I don’t dare to feed them anything I brought after the incident last night.
Following that line of thought, she got up without hesitation. “Let’s go back.”
While saying that, she took the lead and walked out of the tent.
No sooner had Roxanne stepped out than she caught sight of the Bentley, whose headlights were already turned off, a stone’s throw away.
In a flash, memories of the events that transpired last night flooded her mind.
It belatedly occurred to her that she had no idea where Lucian had gone.
At the thought of the man, she inevitably recalled the question from him before she went to sleep last night.
For a moment, her mind turned chaotic once again.
By the time she snapped back to reality, Lucian was already standing before her, checking on the children’s condition with his head lowered.
“Daddy! Where did you go?” Estella regarded her father with curiosity etched across her features.
When she saw no signs of him upon waking up early in the morning, she thought he had already gone back.
Patting her on the head, Lucian started in a deep voice, “I’ve got something to discuss with Ms. Jarvis. Go and play in the tent for a while with Archie and Benny.”
He didn’t ask about their condition.
Roxanne might be in the dark about the children’s act yesterday, but he saw right through it.
It was obvious to him that they merely wanted to create an opportunity for him and Roxanne to interact.
Although Estella was puzzled about that instruction, she still agreed obediently.
At the side, Roxanne’s nerves stretched tautly, and she eyed the man in front of her warily.
If he wants to continue speaking of the topic yesterday, I really don’t know how I should respond.
Her thoughts were clearly written on her face.
A glimpse of her expression had Lucian’s gaze dimming, but he ultimately didn’t put his emotions on display, merely stating, “I discovered something. Come and have a look.”
Seemingly without thinking about it, Roxanne got the message that his so-called discovery had to do with the bacteria.
At that realization, she put her wariness away. Nodding solemnly, she followed behind him.
