Chapter 2057 We Must Act Fast
The funeral was a simple affair. That night, Roxanne watched over her father's body at the Jarvis residence, feeling
a heavy weight on her chest.
Grant's death meant she was left with no parents in this world, which made her sad. As a doctor, she had witnessed
too much loss in the world and often tried to suppress her emotions. Even so, she couldn't help feeling sorry for
herself at that moment.
After raking the children home, Lucian returned to the mansion.
I lis gentle gaze lifted Roxanne's spirits, and they sat in silence. As the temperature continued to drop, Lucian
offered her two additional jackets.
Later on, Elias and Sonya arrived, and they assured the young couple, “Cayden will rake care of rhe children, and

the bodyguards are watching over them loo. Don't worry.”
Roxanne was grateful for their support and rhe fact that they were there for her even though it was so late. Despite
that, she suggested, “Dad, Mom, it's too cold here. You should go back. Lucian and I will stay here. After the funeral
tomorrow, everything will be over.”
However, Elias and Sonya refused.
Elias declared, “From now on, Sonya and I are your true parents, Roxanne. The Farwell family will always support
you!”
Nodding, Sonya agreed with determination, “Don't worry. If anyone dares to harm you, that means they're going up
against the entire Farwell family. I was too dumb and made too many mistakes in the past, but from now on. I’ll be
a good mother to you.”
Upon hearing this, Roxanne fell that her heart was torn between bitterness and joy, and she couldn't control the
flood of emotions that caused tears to suddenly stream down her cheeks.

Those words were exactly what she needed to hear right now.
Seeing that she was crying, Sonya became anxious. She handed Roxanne a tissue and wiped her tears carefully.
“Why are you crying? Don't be sad, Roxanne. Don't cry anymore. Grant isn’t worth your tears .”
“I'm not crying for him. Thank you. Mom and Dad!”
At that moment, Roxanne truly regarded Elias and Sonya as her biological parents.
Elias nodded and walked up to the altar. Looking at Grant's portrait, he said with a firm voice, “Grant, you were
inadequate as a father when you were alive, but in the final moments of your life, you did the right thing. Go and
face Roxanne's mother in the afterlife. From now on, we, the Farwell family, will take care of Roxanne and the
children!"
Lucian heard this and quickly stood up. Then, he walked over to F.lias.

Standing together, the two men made a solemn promise to the departed Grant.
Roxanne suddenly felt a sense of peace and security in her heart. Feeling tired, she leaned on Sonya’s shoulder.
Sonya patted her arm gently and murmured, “Don't worry. It's all over now...”
The familiar gesture reminded Roxanne of her mother from her childhood. Perhaps, all women would become so
doting on their children after becoming mothers.
It was five or six in the morning when the funeral vehicles finally arrived at the funeral home. The family remained
busy as they dragged their tired bodies through the entire following process.
By noon, all the funeral procedures were completed, and Roxanne held an urn filled with ashes in her hands. She
didn't know if her mother wanted to be buried with a person like Grant.
In addition, she planned to exhume her mother's remains and check for signs of poisoning so that she could reopen
the case.
After all, based on what she knew of Winnie and hetfamily, they had to be in a hurry' to leave Ilorington.
Hence, time was of rhe essence.
Roxanne went back to the Jarvis residence and put her father's ashes there, intending to figure our rhe next steps
later.
