She hurried to the hospital immediately after to confirm the surgical procedure with the other experts. The preparation for the surgery was done following that.The surgery would begin at one o’clock in the afternoon, and if everything went smoothly, the entire process would take about five or six hours. That would give her just enough time to go pick up her kids.Roxanne’s confidence caused her to dismiss the idea of asking Lysa to pick up the kids.Soon, it was one o’clock, and the surgery began officially.Roxanne and the other medical

Archie and Benny were used to her being late, so they didn’t mind and shook their heads when they heard what she said. They were actually worried about her. “Mommy, have you been working all this time? Are you tired?”“Not at all,” replied Roxanne while grinning.Despite her words, her body was actually exhausted.If it weren‘t for her kids, she wouldn‘t even have the strength to lift her arm.Years ago, a complication occurred when she gave birth to her kids, and she lost a lot of blood. As a result, she had been frail and weak.It was also why she would be exhausted every time she operated for an extended period and would need to rest a lot to recuperate.“Why is Essie…?” asked Roxanne as she stared at Estella in confusion.Lucian is already here to pick her up, so why hasn‘t she gone home yet? Or… did he stay out of the courtesy to take care of Archie and Benny?Conflicting emotions welled up in Roxanne when she came to that conclusionNo one knew when Lucian had made his way to th

Lysa was worried about Roxanne, who was all alone at home at the time. Hearing that question brought a worried frown to Lysa’s brows. “Ms. Jarvis is sick and is resting at home. Let’s hurry back.”Both boys became anxious when they heard that.They had assumed their mommy would recover soon after resting for a bit, just like usual. They didn’t expect her to be so tired that she fell ill.Estella refused to go home with him because she wanted to see Roxanne. That was why Lucian had no choice but to wait at a corner.Never had he expected to hear such news.Estella gave Lucian an anxious look and grabbed his sleeve. “Ms. Jarvis-”Lucian knew what his daughter wanted to ask, so he helped her finish her question. “What happened to Ms. Jarvis?”Lysa, who knew nothing about their story, told them what happened to Roxanne, “Ms. Jarvis hadn’t been feeling well when she got home last night. I thought she was exhausted, but when I checked on her at noon, she had already come down with a fever.

Frowning, Roxanne insisted, “I’m fine, and I don’t need special care anymore. It’s unnecessary for you to stay back. You can’t get a good rest here, anyway.”She did not want to owe him anything more than she already did.Her voice sounded awkwardly loud in the quiet hospital ward at midnight.Dead silence filled the room upon her words.However, the man did not seem to have any intention of leaving.She dug her fingernails into her palms as she explained in a slightly friendlier tone of voice, “We aren’t in any relationship. Hence, there’s no reason for you to take special care of me, Mr. Farwell. I actually feel burdened when you do that.”Upon saying so, she gave the man sitting opposite her a solemn look.Never in a million years would Lucian have thought that caring for her would create a rift between them. He was utterly displeased.Yet, there was no way he could just leave the woman alone.After moments of pin-drop silence, he managed to suppress his anger. “Don’t you misunders

Benny nodded his head vigorously. “Archie and I will be obedient boys from now on. Mommy, please don‘t overwork yourself, okay?”With a sullen expression, Archie said nothing. Yet, one could tell that he concurred with his brother on this matter.Roxanne chuckled before replying, “Sure, I‘ll take good care of myself.”Lysa placed a thermal lunch box on the bedside table and said, “Have you had breakfast? I brought some for you both. Hurry up and eat it while it‘s still hot.”Then, she proceeded to take out two bowls to serve them soup and some side dishes.In response, Roxanne nodded. “Thank you so much.”Seeing that Lysa had already prepared the food for him, Lucian could not bring himself to decline her kind gesture even though he had no appetite to eat.Simultaneously, the two of them reached for the bowls, which had been placed side by side. Their fingers then accidentally brushed against each other.Roxanne froze, and she subconsciously looked up at the man, who was coincidentall

The boys were exhilarated for nearly the whole day after seeing the announcement in the morning.When night fell, Roxanne had just stepped into the house when Archie and Benny flung themselves at her in excitement. “Mommy!”She was slightly perplexed by their gleeful demeanor. “What’s going on? Did something nice happen in the kindergarten?”As soon as she ended her sentence, she glanced at Estella and was puzzled. If something did happen in the kindergarten, why isn’t Essie acting the same way as them?Upon detecting his mother’s confusion, Archie said, “Didn’t you see the news on the internet?”That confounded Roxanne even further.

Jonathan’s jaw dropped open in disbelief. If they aren’t his, why does he look so calm in comparison to me, who is freaking out?“What are you thinking?” He shot Lucian an incredulous look. “If you want to help Roxanne by stopping the haters online, then you can just publicize your relationship with her and issue warning letters through your lawyer. Why would you do this?”If it was revealed that the CEO of Farwell Group had claimed to be the biological father of his ex-wife’s children even though they were not his, no one would believe it. It sounded pretty ridiculous, but that was exactly what Lucian did.“If I only did that, the netizens will still a*sume the worst about the boys’ father.” Displeasure flashed across Lucian’s eyes as he explained, “The kids are innocent. If she’s willing to marry me, it will only be a matter of time before the boys become mine, too.”Lucian knew very well that the last thing Roxanne wanted was to drag the kids into her mess, so he was more than wil

Lucian went silent after hearing that.However, that piqued Jonathan’s interest. “Why? Is Roxanne working with the Damaris family again? Do you need my help with anything?”Lucian managed to detect the hint of derision in his voice and snickered. “Go on and acquire the Damaris family’s medicinal herbs company if you’d really like to help.”Jonathan rubbed his nose sheepishly and said, “Well, anything but that.”“Then there’s nothing you can do. Bye.”Lucian hung up the call right after that.Jonathan’s face was full of reproach as he watched his phone screen go dark.That was the second time Lucian had woken him up in the middle of the night and hung up after dropping a bomb on him.It had taken him considerable effort to finally drift off to sleep.Great.

Let’s have lunch together,” Lucian suggested.He was determined to let Roxanne get some rest.Roxanne fell silent for a few moments when she heard the time he mentioned before replying apologetically, “Sorry, I’m not free.”Lucian frowned. “Why? Is there work that you have to complete?”Roxanne scratched her nose sheepishly. “I’ve promised to meet up with Mr. Damaris for lunch tomorrow to discuss a project.”Jack Damaris?Lucian’s expression instantly darkened.We’ve hardly been in contact these few days, and yet she’s been contacting him?What the elderlies from the nursing home said echoed in Lucian’s mind once again.After all, he and Roxanne did not work in the same industry.

The restaurant was near the research institute. Due to the closeness of both locations, Roxanne thought she could head back to do some more work if their meeting ended early.Something in the research institute held her up, so Jonathan and Frieda were already waiting in the private room by the time she arrived.“I’m sorry, Dr. Jarvis. Did I interrupt your work?”Despite addressing Roxanne by her name in front of Lucian, Jonathan was mindful of his behavior and addressed her politely when she was present.Roxanne offered him a polite smile.
