Chapter 129 Are You Injured
Roxanne had felt the same way earlier that morning, so hearing about it filled her heart with a warm
sensation. “Maybe. I’m really d that you two are able to look after Essie.”
Benny patted himself on the chest confidently as he said in his childish voice, “Don’t worry, Mommy!
Archie and I will continue to keep Essie safe!”
Roxanne couldn’t help but giggle when she heard that.
Lucian nced at them through the rear-view mirror when he heard Benny’s promise and Roxanne’s
having.
She sure has raised those boys well. They’re so much more mature than the other kids around their
age.
Lucian was nning on leaving after dropping them off at the house as he had seen for himself how
well Roxanne took care of Este. On top of that, Archie and Benny were treating Este like their own
sister too, so there was no reason for him to stay and make them feel ufortable.
While getting out of the car, Roxanne nced at Este and said after a brief moment of hesitation,
“How about you join us for dinner? I’m sure Essie would have a much better time with you around.”
Lucian gave her a strange look and paused briefly before replying, “Thanks, I’ll take you up on your
offer.”
Roxanne kept quiet and led the kids inside while Lucian followed behind after parking the car.
Upon entering the kitchen, she quickly washed her hands and started making dinner. Archie and Benny
led Este into the living room and yed with their Lego set to kill time.
Lucian was a little hesitant at first, but decided to stand next to them and help out when needed.
With the two boys working closely together, the scattered Lego pieces were soon transformed into a
When it came to attaching the final piece, Archie nced at Lucian with a hesitant look in his eyes.
Lucian then held his hand out, prompting Archie to ce the Lego piece in his palm. The boy pursed
his lips and lowered his head wordlessly as he watched Lucian attach the final piece.
Este, who was watching Lucian attach the Lego pieces together, reached out to grab a Lego piece all
of a sudden.
Both Archie and Benny’s eyes lit up with excitement when they saw that.
After a brief pause, Este began assembling the Lego pieces herself at a pace simr to theirs.
Thinking that Este had recalled ying Lego with them in the past, Archie and Benny exchanged
joyful nces.
Lucian froze in shock when he saw that, only to have a warm smile spread across his face seconds
Looks like Essie really likes theirpany, huh?
Seeing as they were all focused on ying with the Lego set, Roxanne chose not to disturb them and
proceeded to serve up dinner.
She had just stepped out of the kitchen when her elbow bumped into the door frame, causing her to
drop the bowl of soup onto the floor.
Everyone in the living room turned around in unison upon hearing the noise.

Naturally, Lucian was the first to respond. “Are you injured?” he asked while running toward her.
As he took a closer look at her, he noticed a red spot on the fair skin of her forearm.
Before she could even respond, Lucian cautiously grabbed an uninjured part of her arm and led her
toward the sink, holding it under running water.
Although Archie and Benny were worried about her, they knew they were unable to help with her
wound, so they decided to clean up the floor instead.
“Don’t touch it, you guys! You could get scalded by the hot soup! Get Essie away from here!” Roxanne
called out to them when she saw what they were doing.
Archie and Benny hesitated for a bit, but did as told and prepared to lead Este out of there.
However, Este stubbornly refused to leave and struggled to remain where she stood.
Unsure of what to do, Archie and Benny were about to ask Roxanne for help when they heard a
sobbing noise beside them.
Everyone paused and turned toward Este in shock, only to see tears flowing from her reddened
eyes.
