Chapter 955 Her Heart Lodged In Her Throat
Roxanne wasn’t at all surprised by Lucian’s statement. After all, the culprit who added the bacteria into
the children’s water put Estella through great agony.
Considering her importance to the man, it was only natural that he was determined to punish the
culprit. “Are you still not planning on changing your mind despite the incident this time?” Lucian queried
out of the blue, making little sense.
Roxanne’s thoughts were still on the culprit who added the bacteria, so she was somewhat perplexed
when she heard that question.
Without bothering to wait for her reply, Lucian added, “Benny instinctively called out for his father while
in a semi-conscious state. If I remember correctly, the same thing happened previously.”
Back then, they were all infected by the bacteria on Estella. Archie and Benny first itched all over
before running a high fever.
When Benny was semi-conscious, he also asked for his father in a mutter.
At the mention of that matter, Roxanne’s heart clenched. Biting the bullet, she countered, “He has been
lacking fatherly love for a long time now, so that’s nothing out of the ordinary.”
Despite knowing that Benny was merely talking in his sleep, she still couldn’t help feeling guilty.
She instinctually thought that the man only put that question to her all of a sudden because he
discovered her secret.
But then, the next words out of his mouth caught her completely off guard.
“That’s precisely why I’m talking about this. You can also see how much they yearn for fatherly love, yet
you still plan to continue depriving them of it?”
While saying that, Lucian stared at her meaningfully.
Without needing him to spell it out further, Roxanne instantly caught his drift.
In other words, he was telling her in a roundabout way that he was willing to be Archie and Benny’s
father, thus seeking her opinion on the matter.
He had asked a similar question countless times, but she was still panicked as usual.
Her eyes alighted on the man beside her briefly before she hurriedly averted her gaze.
“I’m not the only one with the final say in this matter. I’ll respect their opinions.”
After saying that, Roxanne got to her feet in feigned calmness. “I’m a tad sleepy, so I’m going in to rest
first.”
Not even daring to turn back, she went back into the tent to avoid the man behind her once more.
Meanwhile, Lucian studied her retreating back, his gaze dark and unfathomable.
Naturally, he could tell that she was avoiding him.
In fact, he could already imagine that she would react in such a manner when he voiced that utterance
just now.
Nonetheless, he was still inexorably frustrated to personally witness her evasion of him.
Verily, he didn’t know how much longer such a cat-and-mouse relationship between them could last.
In the tent, Roxanne gingerly returned to her spot earlier.
Before lying down, she meticulously checked on the children. Only when she had ascertained that she
didn’t awaken them did she lie down with peace of mind.
As she listened to their even breathing, turmoil brewed within her. Needless to say, she wasn’t sleepy
at all. Even as she lay in the tent then, she didn’t feel a hint of drowsiness.
She simply didn’t know how to face that question by Lucian and made an excuse at random, ending up
back in the tent to avoid him. Before, she left the tent to avoid him.
Yet, she went back in right then for the same reason. Thinking of that, she couldn’t help finding her
actions hilarious.
On second thought, Lucian has probably figured out why I went in and out of the tent. I wonder what
he’s thinking right now…
At the possibility that he might enter the tent again, her heart lodged in her throat. Surprisingly, there
was no movement from outside, even after she had waited for an indeterminate time.
Drowsiness finally hit her, and she groggily fell asleep.
