    Meanwhile, Roxanne did not have the slightest clue about what Aubree and her mother were nning.


    The whole day had been spent ying with the children and dealing with Lucian. Hence, Roxanne fell asleep the moment she


    lay down.


    However, she was awakened by the phone ringing the next day.


    In a daze, Roxanne opened her eyes and picked up the phone without looking at who the caller was.


    “Ms. Jarvis, are you awake? I’ve got something that needs your attention.”


    She barely had time to take a breather when Jack’s voice broke the silence.


    Upon realizing that it was Jack, Roxanne suddenly became alert. Curiously, she asked, “Has something happened?”


    Roxanne rarely had personal dealings with Jack, so she knew that he was likely calling her for a business or medical issue.


    Regardless, both matters were not to be taken lightly.


    On that note, Jack broke the silence first. “Do you remember Jamie? That kid from the medical consultation thest time?”


    Roxanne’s expression immediately turned grave. “I do. What happened?”


    During the consultation, Daniel had spooked the child, resulting in heart palpitations that caused him to lose consciousness. It


    was only through Roxanne’s intervention that Jamie regained consciousness.


    Thus, Roxanne had quite a deep impression of the child.


    “The orphanage contacted me just now. They aren’t sure what happened, but Jamie contracted a high fever and has been


    hospitalized. | figured that since you handled his consultation thest time, you’d be more familiar with the situation. If you have


    time, can you go and take a look?” asked Jack politely.


    Upon hearing that the child was sick, Roxanne immediately agreed. “Of course. Which hospital is it? I''ll make my way there right


    now.


    “I''d like to go with you too. | happen to be nearby, so | can pick you up along the way after


    you get ready.”


    Roxanne hesitated for a brief moment to ponder over the time but eventually agreed.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    After hanging up, Roxanne wasted no time taking a shower. She hurriedly put on a change of clothes and went downstairs.


    Archie and Benny were awakened by the sound of Roxanne closing the door. They jolted out of bed to see that their mother was


    the one rushing downstairs, seemingly in a hurry. The children ran after her, asking, “Mommy? Where are you going?”


    It was only then Roxanne remembered that Archie and Benny were there. She turned around to pat them on the head, replying,


    “A little boy from the orphanage has fallen ill, so | need to take a look. As for school, | don’t think | have the time to drop you off at


    kindergarten today. I''ll help you two ask permission for a day off.”


    Hearing that it was a little boy who had fallen sick, the boys were immediately filled with worry. Without further hesitation, they


    nodded and said, “You must do your best to treat him!”


    Roxanne nodded, smiling at them.


    Just as she was about to bid the children goodbye, a loud honk was heard outside the door.


    | think that must be Jack.


    Roxanne straightened herself and left, the boys following her to the doorstep.


    At the driveway of the mansion, Jack got down from the car and was prepared to knock when he saw Roxanne and the children


    coming out.


    Jack was a little surprised to see the two boys trailing after Roxanne. He knew that she had children but had neverid eyes on


    them before.


    The children looked as if they had just gotten out of bed and were still somewhat muddled. Yet, they were well-behaved. They


    obediently followed Roxanne from behind and gave Jack polite, albeit confused, little waves.
