At the specialist’s remark, Lucian finally relented with a frown.

This time, two specialists accompanied him into the ward.

They monitored Roxanne’s brain waves outside, prepared to notify Lucian when there were fluctuations.

Hence, Lucian stepped into the hospital room again.

On the hospital bed, Roxanne still showed no signs of waking up.

“They said you might wake up if I talk to you.”

Lucian walked over to the hospital bed with heavy steps. After a long moment of hesitation, he reached out and took Roxanne’s hand, which lay limply by her side.

For once, she didn’t resist. Ironically, he couldn’t muster up any joy from it.

As he scrutinized her pale face, his voice lowered. “What would you like to hear?”

As expected, he received no response to that question.

Lucian chuckled bitterly. Something abruptly occurred to him, and he started, “Seems like there are a lot of misunderstandings between us.”

He pondered for a while, his gaze turning distant. “I was sincere back when I said I wa

    In the face of Lucian’s accusation, everyone hastily explained, “It’s effective! When you were inside just now, Ms. Jarvis’ brain waves fluctuated greatly!” The look in Lucian’s eyes was frightfully grim. “If so, why is she still not awake?”At that question, the specialists looked at each other. “Because… the stimulation is still insufficient. You must have mentioned something she cares about earlier. We all feel that she’s close to regaining consciousness.”Following that remark, Lucian’s expression turned even colder.It left them without a shadow of a doubt that the man would dismiss them if they were to tarry any longer in offering a solution.“We propose to have Ms. Jarvis’ two kids come and talk to her. Perhaps she’ll then wake up.”The specialist remembered Lucian’s objection a while ago, so he sounded exceedingly cautious.Have Archie and Benny come?A frown marred Lucian’s countenance, and aggravation brimmed in his eyes.She’s now unconscious, but if she were awake, she wo

    “Mommy…” Knowing that Roxanne was in the hospital room behind Lucian, Benny immediately sprinted forward to go in for a look.Lucian was already distressed because of Roxanne’s condition. At the sight of Archie and Benny in such anguish, another wave of sorrow washed over him. Nonetheless, he still reached out and held Benny back.Anxious to see his mother, Benny struggled desperately. “I want to see Mommy! Mommy!”Despite that, Lucian’s grip on him remained firm.Seeing Benny in tears, the few specialists felt sorry for him.However, if they were to allow Archie and Benny to barge in, the boys would likely throw themselves at Roxanne and wail incessantly. That would be of no help to the treatment.On the contrary, Archie was far calmer than his brother. Although his eyes were also red-rimmed, he merely stood there quietly. “What do you need me and Benny to do?”Mommy has likely been unconscious for a long time. At the very least, she has already been in such a condition when Mr. Law

    The specialists’ expressions turned grim when they heard that. One of the reputable doctors hurried over to the bed and performed a series of examinations on Roxanne. When he was done, he shook his head helplessly.“What does that mean?”Lucian’s tone sounded incredibly cold.Meanwhile, Archie and Benny stared fixedly at the adults.In response, the specialist said, “I’ve examined Ms. Jarvis, and she’s showing no signs of regaining consciousness. What you saw just now—her fingers curling—was probably just a reflex of her nerves. She’s trying her best, too, but she needs a final push.”Right as those words left his mouth, the ward plunged into a deathly silence.Only the sound of Benny’s sobbing could be heard.Lucian frowned as he pondered deeply.A final push. Who else does this woman care about that I haven’t thought of?Suddenly, Archie approached Lucian and tugged at the hem of his clothes. “Mr. Farwell.”Hence, Lucian looked down at the boy while trying to lessen the iciness in

    Cayden’s heart ached when he heard that. Meanwhile, Estella was staring at him with anticipation through the rearview mirror.Gulping, Cayden forced a smile. “Ms. Jarvis is with Mr. Farwell. You’ll see her later.”Estella’s eyes lit up instantly.Cayden could feel how happy Estella was without turning around, but his heart sank at the thought of what she was about to see later.Shortly after, the car stopped in front of the hospital.Estella had become silent long ago. Clearly, she noticed where they were heading to.Cayden, too, moved stiffly as he uttered, “We’re here, Ms. Estella. Come on. I’ll take you in.”With that, he reached out to help her out.Right then, Estella hopped off the backseat and sped into the hospital.Seeing that, Cayden quickly shut the door and hurried after her.After bringing her into the elevator, he realized her eyes were already reddened. Feeling sorry for her, Cayden looked away for he could not bear to take another look at her face.Thankfully, it did

    Slowly, Roxanne squatted to touch the little girl’s head. However, she seemed to have noticed the girl smiling at her.Roxanne’s nose stung. She wanted to apologize to the girl, but the lump in her throat prevented her from doing so.“Get out quickly, Mommy. You’ll see me when you wake up!” the girl urged, tilting her head.Roxanne’s eyes trembled violently.My daughter died long ago… How am I going to see her again once I wake up?Nonetheless, the little girl gave her an urgent push.Archie’s and Benny’s cries traveled into Roxanne’s ears again.After much hesitation, Roxanne finally stood up. Before leaving, she could not help but look back at the tiny figure behind her.The little girl waved.Roxanne forced a smile and marched toward the door.“Mommy!”The children’s cries were becoming clearer.As Roxanne slowly opened her eyes, she stared at the glaring white ceiling with moistened eyes.“She’s awake! Ms. Jarvis is awake!”The specialists who had been waiting by the door stared

    A while later, the specialists exited the ward. The moment the doors to the ward were opened, Lucian immediately looked up. “How is she?”Smiling rea*suringly, the lead specialist nodded. “Ms. Jarvis woke up sooner than expected. She’ll be fine since she’d already woken up. The follow-up treatment is a lot simpler. You only have to ensure that she doesn’t get agitated throughout the period.”Lucian nodded in affirmation and stared at Roxanne through the door.She had lain back down on the bed. As if sensing his gaze, she turned her body to the side and had her back facing the door.Lucian’s eyes darkened in response.“Mr. Farwell, we’ll be taking our leave if there’s nothing else. I’m sure the children and you have a lot to catch up with Ms. Jarvis. We’d hate to interrupt,” the specialist said.Nodding noncommittally, Lucian stepped aside to let them leave.The three children immediately rushed into the ward eagerly as soon as the specialists entered the elevator.Mommy!”Archie’s an

It was clear to her that he was really worried about her.However, that didn’t mean that she could accept him without any reservations.As Roxanne struggled to think of a way to respond to the children, Lucian interjected, “This is a matter for us adults, so stay out of it. Your mommy has just woken up. You should talk to her.”Roxanne felt a sense of relief deep down, grateful for Lucian’s intervention in the situation. Despite that, she still dared not look up at him and only offered the children a tremulous smile.The kids stopped pressuring Roxanne for an answer. They gathered around her and began recounting the amusing occurrences at their kindergarten.Archie and Benny talked for som

    Mere moments after Aubree sent the text, Cory’s reply arrived. Cory: Roxanne is currently at the hospital, having been admitted after being poisoned and losing consciousness. She has just been wheeled out of the emergency room and is still unconscious.Aubree exhaled sharply upon reading the text.That b*tch! I hope she will never regain consciousness. That way, Lucian will be mine!Cory sent another text: Mr. Farwell and the three children are at the hospital with her. I don’t know the current situation as they are on the top floor. It will be too obvious if I head up there.Aubree’s expression changed immediately. Gritting her teeth, she replied: Why didn’t you tell me something this important earlier?At the other end, Cory rolled his eyes in exasperation.Lucian’s men were keeping tabs on him, so it was pretty hard for him to follow Roxanne.Most importantly, Roxanne was currently with Lucian.He had gone to great lengths to discover that, but Aubree was insatiable.After some th

    Roxanne was dog-tired. She would doze off almost immediately after getting into her bed for the past couple of nights.

The car stayed motionless for a while before leaving the compound slowly.Roxanne watched Lucian’s car disappear from her sight before returning to bed and dozing off within seconds.She didn’t know whether Lucian’s ma*sage was the reason or not, but she felt more energized when she woke up in the morning.Since it was a Sunday, Roxanne stayed home with the kids instead of going to the research institute.

    The two of them didn’t continue talking after that, and Lucian had moved from ma*saging her temples to ma*saging her shoulders. When he was moving his hands, he either intentionally or accidentally brushed his thumbs across her neck.Roxanne was caught off guard, and her body froze when she suddenly felt as though an electric current had coursed through her.In the next second, Lucian was already ma*saging her shoulders. “How are you feeling? Am I pressing too hard?” he asked softly.Roxanne turned around to meet Lucian’s gentle gaze. She was startled, so she immediately retracted her eyes and nodded. “It’s fine.”Little did she know Lucian wasn’t planning to let go of her just yet. “I don’t know which acupuncture point can help you relax. How about you teach me?”As he was talking, he loosened his grips.In a flash, the atmosphere became ambiguous.Roxanne feigned calmness and cleared her throat. “Why would you want to know that? It’s not like you can ma*sage yourself.”In a natural

    When the four of them arrived home, Roxanne was already done preparing dinner, and she was resting on the couch. Upon hearing noises at the door, she woke up immediately and went to open the door.“Mommy!”The kids rushed toward her and hugged her legs.Roxanne lowered her gaze and patted their heads with a smile on her face. “Did you guys have fun today?”Benny nodded fervently before turning back to look at Lucian with his pair of bright eyes. “Yes! Daddy brought us to the amusement park, and we watched a movie!”Roxanne smiled when she heard the joy in Benny’s voice.She only realized how Benny had addressed Lucian a few seconds later. When she did, the smile on her face froze.Instead of asking Benny what was going on, she gave Lucian an inquisitive glance.Noticing that, Lucian explained matter-of-factly, “I told them to address me so when we’re in the public. After all, I’ve already made it known to the public. If others were to hear them addressing me another way, it would be

    Benny opened the door, and Lucian immediately saw the three children waiting to greet him at the door. “Daddy!”“Mr. Farwell!”They sounded aggrieved and gazed at him as though he was their savior.Lucian could not resist ruffling their hair affectionately at the sight of their adorable pouting faces. Then he looked up and cast his gaze around the living room. “Where’s your mommy?”It’s the weekend, so she should be home.“Mommy’s working overtime. She has already been working late the past few days. We’ve had to stay home alone, and it’s so boring!” Benny whined, and Archie and Estella nodded in agreement.Lucian’s brows drew together slightly when he heard their complaints. No wonder she sounded so tired whenever I called her the last two days. I thought she was exhausted from looking after these three little tykes and purposely came over to take them out for a treat. However, it turns out it’s because she has been working.Seeing how dispirited the children looked, he suggested, “

I will never, ever, let you guys get away with this!”I was wrong about that man! He said he knew me, so I thought he had nothing to do with Roxanne.But in hindsight, who else besides Roxanne would do something so wretched?

    “Fiancée?” Kai shot back a question with a meaningful look. “Which fiancée are you talking about? During your absence, a lot of things have happened in Mr. Farwell’s life!” Shawn’s heart sank slightly when he heard that. “What do you mean? Isn’t Aubree Pearson his fiancée?”Kai laughed out loud when he heard that. “That was eight hundred years ago! Back then, I noticed that Lucian had been treating Aubree with indifference. I found it strange that the Farwell and Pearson families have managed to hold on to the engagement for many years.”Shawn did not respond. Instead, he continued to listen to his friend’s rambling.“The Farwell family called off the engagement two years ago. Lucian even implied that Aubree has a poor character. It turns out that his ex-wife is back in the country with two children. Right now, the Pearson family is being made bankrupt by the Farwell family, and Lucian is getting it on with his ex-wife again!”Kai was very animated when he was gossiping. It was as if

    “I would say I’m pretty easy on the eyes. Getting to sleep with me isn’t that much of a loss for you.” He tucked a finger under her chin and lifted it so that she was looking right at him. “You truly are a delicacy. I hope you won’t forget me anytime soon.” As he spoke, his hand began to slide down Aubree’s neck, and he started to bend down until he was hovering right over her.She snapped back to her senses and pushed his hand away with a scowl on her face. “Get out!

    Cory’s face was clouded over with disdain. “Obviously, I’m taking a picture of my lovely ex-boss. Aubree was the one who made me who I am today. How can I possibly forgive her so easily?” As he spoke, an ominous aura radiated from him as if he were a devil from hell. There was an imminent chill in the air that seemed to come from his sheer hatred toward Aubree.Frieda couldn’t help but shudder at his demeanor.“Have you gone insane? The Pearson family is already in ruins. How are you still not satisfied yet?”Cory snickered. “I won’t be satisfied until she truly gets what she deserves. Besides, she did this to herself!”He narrowed his eyes and began scrutinizing the people in front of him.“You don’t have to play pretend around me, Ms. Queen. Don’t you want to shut her up for good too? In fact, you’re probably still getting threatened by her, right?”Frieda’s eyelids quivered as she forced herself to look away. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”She might have done her best t
