Chapter 773 What Is Their Rtionship
An hourter, Roxanne’s phone rang. Colby had arrived. Roxanne went downstairs to open the door for
him.
Meanwhile, Lucian and the children heard the male voice on the other end of the phone. Without
waiting for the man to speak, the children took the initiative to urge him to follow Roxanne downstairs
for a look.
Seeing that they were even more anxious than him, Lucian inclined his head a fraction and went
downstairs with huge strides. “Thank you.” Roxanne stood in the courtyard as she took the sprays from
Colby.
Since the condition was contagious, she could only try her best to keep a distance from him. However,
he brought a number of sprays, so she couldn’t quite carry them all. “I’ll carry them in for you,” Colby
suggested at her conflicted expression.
Without an ounce of hesitation, Roxanne turned him down. “As you know, this kind of bacteria is highly
contagious. I already feel horribly bad for troubling you to make this tripte at night. You’d best not go
into the house, for I’m afraid that you’d get infected as well.”
As a fellow doctor, Colby also yed a part in formting the spray. Naturally, he knew full well the
contagiousness of such a bacteria.
Therefore, he didn’t insist after she had said as much.
Just when he was racking his brain for a way to help her carry the sprays in, a figure suddenly walked
out of the mansion door.
He reflexively lifted his eyes and cast his gaze over.
The instant he recognized the person at the door, a glimmer of surprise flittered across his eyes.

Lucian? Why is he here at this hour?
While he was still perplexed, Lucian had already walked over to him with mighty strides and regarded
him expressionlessly. “You’re… Dr. Galloway?”
He had seen Colby once when he went to the research institute to pick Roxanne up previously.
When it came to the men around Roxanne, he had a deep impression of them, even if he had only
seen them once.
Snapping back to his senses, Colby courteously extended his hand and greeted, “Mr. Farwell.”
His brows furrowing imperceptibly, Lucian didn’t extend his hand. Instead, he merely exined, “Sorry,
but I’m infected, so I’d better not shake hands with you for your sake, Dr. Galloway.”
Upon hearing that, Colby was again stupefied.
When Roxanne asked me to go over to the research institute to get the medication, she said there
were kids who were sick, so I instinctively presumed that it was Archie and Benny. But if it were them,
why would he be here? To top it off, he’s even infected? What’s their rtionship exactly?
Likewise, the look in Lucian’s eyes was pitch dark.
I remember that Roxanne exited the research institute with this man when we met thest time. And in
such an urgent situation now, she asked him for help. What’s their rtionship exactly?
For a moment, the atmosphere between them turned a touch tense.
Worried about Archie and Benny upstairs, Roxanne didn’t notice the strange atmosphere between the
two men. “It’ste now, and considering the situation today, I won’t be inviting you in.”
Gathering his wits about him, Colby nodded in understanding. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to remind
her gently, “Take care of yourself. Don’t tire yourself out.”
Roxanne merely pursed her lips and shed him a smile.
A whileter, Colby got into his car and left.
Roxanne and Lucian remained in the courtyard, watching until his car had disappeared from their lines
of sight before they spun around and went back into the mansion.
They held tworge bottles of spray in each hand respectively.
By the time they returned to the bedroom, they were greeted by the sight of the three children lying on
the bed sickly. Este had already plunged into semi-consciousness from her high fever.
“Mommy…” Archie and Benny mumbled indistinctly when they saw them entering the room, still
somewhat conscious.
Roxanne hastened forward and touched their foreheads, only to sense searing heat.
At that, she quickly took the sprays over and sprayed the children all over.
