Chapter 1997 Lifelong Imprint
“How is that possible?” Madilyn eximed in surprise.
She searched her memory of the many years she had known Roxanne, but there was no evidence that Roxanne and Lucian had
met during their teenage years.
During their first three years of marriage, Roxanne was nothing more than a nominal wife, and ultimately, Lucian heartlessly
divorced her.
Then came six years of separation. Roxanne gave birth to three children. Este was on the verge of death and was diagnosed
by the hospital as unlikely to survive.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
Unexpectedly, after several twists and turns, Ethan went to Epea and tracked down the hospital Roxanne had delivered the
triplets. In the end, Este was rescued and brought back to Horington.
From then on, Roxanne lived with her children, Archie and Benny, while Lucian took care of Este. The family proceeded to lead
separate lives for six years.
At present, Roxanne had returned to Horington for almost a year.
Aside from the past ten years, Roxanne had never mentioned to Madilyn about knowing Lucian earlier.
“Well, it''s a long story. Maybe | shouldn''t say anything.” Roxanne''s teasing tone sounded casual. She seemed totally unfazed by
the purple wish bottle.
Hearing her friend''s impish voice, Madilyn protested loudly, “No! You must tell us. I''ll go get Jonathan, and we''lle over to
listen to your story.”
Meanwhile, at the manor, Roxanne smiled. “Fine. You two lovebirds cane over. I''ll tell you everything.”
When Roxanne returned home after sending the three kids to school, Madilyn and Jonathan had already arrived.
Jonathan was holding the purple wish bottle, which was still sealed.
The two looked at Roxanne suspiciously, unconvinced she had written the letter.
“Roxanne, no matter how you put it, this wish bottle was buried by Lucian and me the year before we went to university. | don''t
remember having known you back then.” Jonathan had repeatedly exined that to Madilyn in the car.
Back then, Jonathan, Lucian, James, and Elektra would often hang out together on weekends, even though they attended
different schools.
Jonathan remembered that although they hung out together, everyone was engaged in different activities.
Lucian spent his time studying various business cases and acquiring business knowledge whenever he had the chance, while
James had already developed a strong interest in psychology. Now, it seemed to Jonathan that James'' mother, Yennefer, had
already fallen ill at that time.
Elektra, on the other hand, paid attention to various fashion trends and celebrity clothing every day.
Jonathan was the only one who truly focused on his studies. He had no choice but to rely on rote memorization, as he wasn''t a
natural talent.
Roxanne nodded, the expression in her eyes bing somewhat distant as she reminisced about the past.
“Indeed, under normal circumstances, | would''ve never met Lucian. The high school he attended, being a renowned art academy
in the country, was not only an excellent private school but also a ce teeming with children of the social elites. Jonathan, like
you, | only attended an ordinary high school.”
Jonathan nodded in agreement.
She borated, “However, you were just being stubborn too. Your family had the means to send you to the same school as
Lucian. He told me this himself back then.”
“Yes, that''s true. Lucian even told you that? In that case, you two must''ve been very close at that time, right?” asked Jonathan.
Unexpectedly, Roxanne shook her head. Nheless, a faint, contented smile appeared on her face.
“Actually, we weren''t close. Fate is really quite fascinating. Do you remember the custom of student exchanges between many
schools in the past? That''s right. Lucian was an exchange student who came to my school. He was only there for a short month,
but he left a lifelong imprint in my heart!”
