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

    Archie and Benny quickly put in a good word for Lucian. “Mommy, Mr. Farwell was worried about you and he also took good care of us.”Roxanne felt a wave of helplessness overwhelming her heart when she realized the kids were siding with him.She couldn’t help but notice Lucian’s worn-out appearance. 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

    “Lucian!” Just when Lucian was hesitating over how he should reply to Estella, the lift suddenly stopped on the top floor, and Aubree walked out.Upon hearing Aubree’s voice, Estella turned around to look at her, teary-eyed, before turning back to hug Lucian quickly.Estella’s face was flushed with all her crying, and she looked incredibly upset.Upon seeing that, Aubree felt a sense of resentment.She knew without thinking it must be because of Roxanne that Estella was bawling her eyes out.I didn’t expect Essie to be so reliant on that b*tch!”At the same time, Aubree also felt relieved.If Essie is crying so badly, that means Roxanne is probably still unconscious.Seeing the myriad of emotions flashing across her face, Lucian frowned in displeasure and asked, “Why are you here?” before turning back to look suspiciously at Cayden.Cayden immediately shook his head to show he didn’t leak their location to Aubree.He also wanted to know why Aubree showed up.After gathering her thoug

    Fearing that Lucian could pick something up from her expression, Aubree didn’t dare to turn around when she talked. Although she was back facing Lucian, she could still feel Lucian’s stern gaze on her.After some time, Lucian said, “Go home.”Aubree heaved a sigh of relief inwardly, and only then did she have the guts to turn around and smile at Lucian. “All right. I shall go home first. Take good care of Ms. Jarvis. If you need anything, feel free to call me.”Lucian merely nodded in response.Right then, the elevator arrived at their floor. Aubree said bye to Lucian and went in.As the doors of the elevator closed, the smile on Aubree’s face gradually faded.By the time the elevator started descending, Aubree’s expression was utterly grim. That b*tch, Roxanne, is awake! Besides, Lucian is still staying overnight to look after her! He even brought Essie with him! When I broke my arm protecting Sonya back then, he didn’t even care about me that much! It seems like he and that b*stard

    Aubree had finally forgotten about the matter but Frieda’s words ignited a fire in the pit of her stomach again. “I knew it! He is at the hospital!”Frieda breathed a sigh of relief and asked in concern, “How is the situation now? What is going on with Lucian?”She thought with Lucian allowing Aubree to take care of Estella meant he had marriage in mind, but no one could have predicted something like that would happen to Roxanne.Old flame might rekindle if this was not handled properly!Aubree gave Cory a sideway look and replied coldly, “Roxanne is awake, and Lucian is upstairs with her. Get here, and let’s talk since Cory is also here.”Frieda eventually agreed after a moment of hesitation.At the Queen residence, Jonathan learned of Roxanne’s coma from his employee who had delivered medicine to her research institute. He deliberated over it before calling Lucian to inform him that he would be paying her a visit at the hospital.He noticed Frieda hurrying out of the house when he

    Lucian didn’t expect his father to be in such a hurry to go and pick Estella up. After hanging up the phone, he glanced at the time. Seeing that it was still relatively early, he wanted to phone Roxanne to inform her about the situation. But on second thought, he snagged his jacket and went downstairs.Downstairs, Catalina had just prepared dinner. When she saw her employer coming down, she hollered, “The food is ready, Mr. Farwell.”Lucian halted in his steps for a fleeting second. “Go on and eat. I’m not having dinner at home.”Having said that, he left in huge strides without waiting for a response from her.Catalina stared at the man’s back, bewildered for a moment. In the next heartbeat, understanding dawned upon her.Aha! Who else could induce such an expression on Mr. Farwell’s face? He must be on his way out to visit Ms. Jarvis once more. Thus, he’s also likely having dinner there!Roxanne had just finished cooking dinner and led the three children to the dining table. They h

    Elias frowned, and when he spoke, his voice was tinged with a hint of exasperation. “I’ve long since told you to let Lucian make the decisions himself when it comes to his marriage. Everyone is free to live their own lives. Why must we meddle so much?”Disapproval was written all over Sonya’s face. “How could I possibly allow that? Is Lucian’s marriage his business alone? Never mind if he wants to marry some other woman, but why must it be that woman?”Why must it be Roxanne? Worse still, she comes with two little bastards!Seeing that she was still dissatisfied with Roxanne, Elias patiently cajoled, “No matter who he wants to be with, that’s his business. He matured into an adult ages ago. We can’t interfere in everything.”But still, Sonya remained obstinate and griped, “If he had finalized his marriage with Aubree earlier, all this wouldn’t have happened.”After saying that, she shot the man beside her a chagrined look. “You’re no better. It’s because you allowed him free rein in

    Roxanne’s life was soon back on the right track while Lucian’s was still in chaos. Lucian considered going to Roxanne’s place in the evening after handling all the accumulated work in Farwell Group. However, he received a phone call from his mother, who asked him to return home as soon as possible.Lucian furrowed his brows at his mother’s annoyed tone. Nevertheless, he still drove back to the manor.As soon as he stepped into the house, he was greeted by the sight of Sonya sitting on the couch.“Why are you here?” he questioned with a frown.Sonya turned to look at him and said unhappily, “If I hadn’t come here, I wouldn’t even know you were back!”He had not mentioned to anyone about him going overseas with Roxanne.Sonya had come over every day to ask her son for an explanation but always ended up empty-handed.When she called him and mentioned Roxanne and the kids, he would always give a half-hearted response before hanging up.Hence, Sonya had nowhere to vent her anger.Since th

    Roxanne was moved by his words but remained hesitant. “Perhaps, but I lack enough knowledge of cancer to support the research on an anti-cancer medicine.” Over the past few years, she had been more focused on researching how to treat patients through acupuncture. She simply didn’t know enough about medicinal herbs to be confident in developing an anti-cancer medicine.Sensing her worries, Jack said, “I won’t lie. Only a few medical books kept in the Damaris residence touch on this research. However, the reason the research in those books was halted was due to technical issues at the time. It was also these books that inspired me.”Roxanne’s eyes glinted upon hearing that. If I can take a look at those books, perhaps I’ll get some inspiration, too. Then again, those books are properties of the Damaris family. I don’t know if he’s willing to lend them to an outsider.“The books about traditional medicine I lent you in the past were a part of that collection. If you’re interested, I can

    While the reporters’ photos depicted a woman standing at the helicopter door, Jack knew Lucian was behind it. He thought the matter had ended when the celebrity scandals dominated the public consciousness that afternoon. Thus, the next day, he planned to meet up with Roxanne by using the project as an excuse.To his surprise, her a*sistant told him she wasn’t in the research institute.In fact, he received the same answer over the next few days.By then, no matter how stupid Jack was, he could still realize what was happening.He knew Roxanne had left with Lucian, so he wondered how long it would take them to return.To his surprise, it was a whole week, and that enraged him.Jack was still upset as he spoke. “Even though the development of our project was about to begin, the person in charge of the research institute was nowhere to be found. What do you think I should say about that, Ms. Jarvis?”When he brought up the project, Roxanne felt guilty and apologized further. “I’m really

    In the end, Lucian called Jeffrey and requested a week’s leave for the children.With that out of the way, the three adults took the three children on a trip to Miralaea.Just as Jeffrey hung up the phone, a gentle-looking teacher entered the room.“You’re here, Ms. Smith,” he greeted. “You understand the situation about the cla*s, yes? Mr. Farwell’s children are in it, and the a*sistant teacher is on leave. I’m worried Ms. Ward won’t be able to manage the cla*s alone, so you’ll be helping her out for now.”Smiling, Ophelia Smith nodded. “I understand, Mr. Bauer. You don’t need to worry a thing.”Jeffrey scrutinized her and thought she looked pretty gentle. “I’m leaving them in your hands, so don’t mess things up.”“Should I greet them now?”“They’ve just started their one-week leave. Once they’ve returned, Ms. Ward will introduce them to you.”When Ophelia heard that, the look in her eyes imperceptibly darkened for just a moment. “I see. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave no

    We didn’t see anything!” Madilyn smiled mischievously as she feigned ignorance.The children nodded along. “We didn’t either!”Then, Madilyn attempted to sneak away with the kids as though nothing had happened.Just as she turned around, Roxanne said, “Come over here. Let’s talk.”Thus, Madilyn twirled around again and saw a resigned expression on her best friend’s face.Roxanne and Lucian, who was slightly displeased, proceeded to sit next to each other on the couch.Upon hearing their mother’s summon, the children rushed over to sit around her.Only Madilyn was left standing at the entrance of the room.Glancing at the family of five, she cleared her throat, stepped toward the single-seat couch, and plopped down.Frowning, Roxanne questioned, “You said you’ve devised a way to handle the fallout. What do you suggest we do?”In response, Lucian shifted his line of sight to Madilyn, too.Madilyn could still sense the cold look in his eyes, so she did her best to ignore him and focus on

    Meanwhile, Roxanne was still lost in a daze. “Madilyn, what…”Cocking a brow, Madilyn stepped aside to usher them in. “Come onboard. I’m here to pick you up.”Roxanne was blown away by the words.Is she asking us to get in the helicopter and leave just like that? We might be able to escape this time, but what about when the reporters come for us again?When she saw Roxanne remaining motionless, the puzzled Madilyn urged her, “Hurry up! What are you still hesitating for? Whatever concerns you have, we’ll discuss it on board.”She extended her hand while speaking.With the helicopter hovering right before her eyes, Roxanne realized that Madilyn’s effort would go to waste if she didn’t get on.Holding that thought, Roxanne took the latter’s hand. Given how close the helicopter was, all she needed to do was take a step forward to board it.After carrying Estella over, Roxanne turned around to do the same with the boys. Little did she expect them to be raring to go.Reciprocating their ent

    It wasn’t until Lucian heard Madilyn’s words that he realized her point and stopped in his tracks.“This whole incident might just blow over if you don’t show up, but it will definitely worsen if you make an appearance. If that happens, they might even swarm Farwell Group along with Roxanne’s house!” Madilyn reminded him.She knew the mentality of those journalists all too well.Lucian clenched his fists so tightly that his veins were bulging from underneath his skin. “What should I do, then?” he asked while trying to suppress his anger.I wouldn’t have acted so impulsively if I knew this would happen!Madilyn rolled her eyes at him in response. Why is he asking us for a solution when he’s the one who caused all this?“Mr. Farwell, how about we send someone over to get Mrs. Farwell out of there?” Cayden suggested cautiously.“How are you going to do that? There are so many journalists around!” Madilyn snapped at him.Cayden fell silent and flashed her an awkward look in response.“If
