    Chapter 945 What Medicine


    His heart sank when the realization hit him. “What''s wrong?” Archie nced at Benny and Este. “Are you free now? Can you


    come and pick us up?”


    Lucian’s frown deepened. “Where is your mommy? What happened to you?” His first assumption was that something had


    happened to them. Otherwise, there was no reason for Archie to make that request.


    A few seconds of silence ensued before Archie replied, during which Lucian heard someone sobbing in the background. This


    further affirmed his suspicion. “Our car hit a tree, and—"


    Before Archie could exin Benny and Este’s condition, Lucian cut in, “Are you all right? Are you badly hurt? I''lle to you


    right now!”


    As he spoke, he strode toward the elevator quickly. Archie hurriedly exined, “We didn’t get hurt, but Benny and Essie are


    sick.”


    Lucian was already inside the elevator when he heard that. Archie wanted to rify further but thought he couldn’t make things


    clear. Thus, he said, “I''ll ask Mommy to talk to you!”


    He opened the door and hopped out. Dashing over to Roxanna, he removed his smartwatch and handed it to her.


    When Roxanne saw Archie appearing beside her without warning, she instinctively took one look at the car. Archie’s here. That


    means Benny and Essie...


    “What happened to them?” Suddenly, Lucian’s deep voice pulled her out of her reverie. Roxanne stiffened in shock. She


    btedly noticed the smartwatch that Archie was offering her.


    Archie had turned on the speaker mode, so Lucian’s voice sounded especially loud. She didn’t know what to reply after hearing


    his voice suddenly.


    “Mommy!” Archie tugged at the hem of her clothes urgently.


    Only then did Roxanne snap back to her senses. She tamped down the peculiar sensation in her heart and took the smartwatch


    from Archie. “I’m sorry for not taking good care of Essie,” she said apologetically.


    Lucian’s gaze darkened a shade when he sensed something was amiss. Slowly, he probed, “What happened? Archie told me


    Benny and Essie are sick. Is that true?”


    Strangely, Roxanne felt herself calming down upon hearing his voice. She exined, “They contracted a type of bacteria that


    caused them to suffer from severe abdominal pain. | was about to bring them back to the research institute to prepare their


    medicine, but | was too hasty and drove the car into a tree.”Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    Lucian’s voice was still calm. “Are they in a serious condition?”


    Roxanne inclined her head. “I gave them herbs to ease their pain, but it isn’t working well.” She added, “I know how to treat


    them, but the medicinal herbs are at the research institute. | need to bring them there.”


    Lucian’s brows scrunched up. “Where are you?” Roxanne told him their location.


    “It''s too far away, so it will take at least four hours to travel to and fro. Don’t forget you''ll have to brew the medicine, too. Can they


    hold on for that long?” Lucian inquired. The same thought had also crossed Roxanne’s mind.


    Initially, she nned on bringing the kids back to the research institute. She also considered asking Madilyn or Larry to head to


    the research institute and deliver the medicine to her instead.


    They were both excellent doctors and knew the medicinal herbs well. Thus, Roxanne could trust them. That way, it wouldn’t take


    up too much time either.


    s, they were busy and couldn’t be of help. She was stumped when Lucian offered, “What do you need? | can head to the


    research institute and deliver the medicinal herbs you need.”
