    Chapter 1729 Worsening


    Upon ending the call, Lucian went back to theboratory. He managed to calm himself down after knowing that Roxanne was


    okay for the time being.


    As soon as he entered theboratory, he saw Este grabbing Jonathan''s sleeves pitifully and asking in her piping voice, “Mr.


    Queen, is Mommy okay already? When will she recover?”


    Looking flustered, Jonathan held a child in each arm and tried his best to console them.


    For some reason, Benny and Este seemed to be able to sense something because, when Lucian was holding them, they were


    sleeping soundly. The second Lucian left, they woke up groggily, and a few secondster, they started throwing questions at


    Jonathan.


    Jonathan was at his wits’ end. “Your mommy is going to be fine. You guys have only been asleep for a few minutes. Don''t


    worry...”


    As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Este tearing up.


    Jonathan panicked. He had no idea how tofort them.


    Just as he was starting to feel overwhelmed, he saw Lucian walking in. “You''re finally back, Lucian!” said Jonathan after


    breathing a sigh of relief. If he doesn''te back, | think I''ll really drop to my knees and beg the kids to calm themselves down.


    Lucian nodded gratefully in response. “Thank you.”


    This time, Jonathan was eager to get the kids off of his hands. The kids look like angels! But who would''ve thought that they


    could be so hard to handle? Although | understand how they feel, | really don''t know how to deal with them. They had me beaten


    within minutes!


    “Daddy!”


    Upon hearing Lucian''s voice, Benny and Este instantly wiggled out of Jonathan''s arms and ran toward Lucian.


    Lucian bent down to carry them in his arms. Seeing how red their eyes were, heforted them gently, “I''ve already called to


    ask about Mommy. She''s fine. Don''t cry anymore, okay? Mommy''s going to be sad if she finds out how much you guys have


    been crying.”


    “Okay... W-We''ll stop crying,” the kids choked out and nodded before wiping their tears dry.


    Jonathan heard what Lucian said and shot Lucian a concerned look.


    When he saw Lucian nodding back at him, he finally felt at ease. However, he couldn''t help ncing at his watch. It''s already


    nine-something, and we still haven''t heard from Old Mr. Lomax. I''m dying to ask if they can develop the antidote by tonight, but |


    don''t want to interrupt their research.


    Jonathan forced himself to settle down when he saw the state Lucian and the kids were in. They are way more anxious than |


    am. As the only outsider here, | really should stay collected.


    Time ticked by, and instead of hearing from Peregrine, Lucian received a phone call from the hospital.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Lucian''s expression turned grim instantly when he saw the caller ID on his phone.


    “Mr. Farwell, Mrs. Farwell is...” Zayne''s anxious voice sounded from the other end as soon as Lucian answered the phone.


    At that moment, Roxanne''s face had gone pale, and she was sweating bullets.


    At the same time, the readings on the instruments were soaring uncontrobly.


    Before Zayne could even finish his sentence, Lucian could already guess what he was going to say.


    Roxanne''s condition is worsening!


    Lucian looked at the kids in his arms and suppressed his emotions. In a deep voice, he answered, “Okay.”
