Chapter 195
Chapter 195 It was not even eight o‘clock when they came out of the hospital.Roxanne stretched her
stiff bodyzily. She was so d to be breathing some fresh air again after being confined to bed for
one day and two nights.Archie and Benny trailed closely behind her just in case anything else
happened to their mother.“Ms. Jarvis, why don‘t you head home first to get some rest? Maybe just take
the morning off?” Lysa tried her utmost to convince Roxanne not to dive into work right away. Thetter
grinned and assured her, “I‘m perfectly fine, so don‘t worry about me. After the surgery I did the day
before yesterday, I rushed to the kindergarten in my sweaty clothes because I didn‘t have the time to
get changed. Most likely, I caught a cold then, which developed into a fever. I promise to be more
careful next time.”Subsequently, she bent down and tousled the children‘s hair. “I need to finish up my
work at the research institute. Can Ms. Lane take you to your kindergarten today? I‘ll inform Ms. Ward
that you‘ll bete.”The children looked at her with concern.If possible, they wished that Roxanne could
take a break and rest.However, they were well aware that their mother was a workaholic who would not
dy her work.They struggled with it a little before nodding reluctantly.Roxanne turned to Lysa and
said, “I‘ll leave you to bring the kids to the kindergarten, but I‘ll inform Ms. Ward ordingly.”Lysa
agreed.Then, Roxanne approached Lucian, who was already waiting by the main entrance. “I just
wanted to thank you forst night. I took care of Essiest time, and with you returning the favor now,
we no longer owe each other anything,” she said in a calm manner.Despite the unfazed look on his
face, his emotions were anything but that.Momentster, he broke the silence with aconic reply.
“Sure.” His thoughts were unfathomable.Right when Roxanne was about to turn and leave, a little hand
grabbed her by the hem of her dress. “Ms. Jarvis!” Este could notprehend the words Roxanne
said to Lucian. She waspletely baffled about who owed what and to whom. It all sounded like a
strange, foreignnguage to her, so she hurried over and grabbed Roxanne‘s dress.The woman halted
her steps and turned to the little girl. “What‘s wrong, Essie?”“I like Ms. Jarvis.” Tears glistened in
Este‘s eyes as she pouted unhappily, feeling rather aggrievedHer sad face caused Roxanne‘s heart
to soften. She quickly gave the little girl a tight hug andforted her, “I like you too, Essie. Thanks for
coming to visit me.”Her warm embrace magically made Este feel slightly better.Despite that, she was
still reluctant to part as she stared at Roxanne‘s retreating back.Roxanne walked Lysa and the boys to
the junction to hail a cab.Lysa had taken a cab to the hospital in the morning, whereas Roxanne had
been driven there by Lucianst night. Hence, they were without their own transport.Unfortunately, they
could not escape the madness of rush hour. Not one vacant cab came by even after they had waited
for a while.While Roxanne was debating if she should trouble Colby to make a trip to the hospital and
fetch her, Lucian‘s voice rang out beside her.“It‘s hard to get a cab at this hour. Let me drive all of you
to where you need to be.”Roxanne was startled by his sudden appearance. I thought he has left
already. Why is he still here?She turned around and was met by Este‘s puppy dog eyes, seemingly
waiting for her to ept the offer. It was then she understood.Although she had a soft spot for the little
girl, she did not want to have anything to do with that man anymore. With a frown, she rejected him
once more. “It‘s okay. I‘ve troubled you enough recently, Mr. Farwell. I‘m sure that you need to get to
the office as soon as possible, so please go ahead, and don‘t worry about us. We will manage on our
own.”The instant she ended her sentence, she saw Lucian knit his brows, looking annoyed.Did I say
anything that upset him? Puzzled, Roxanne dared not speak further.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.
