    Chapter 948 Extreme Pain


    Jealousy surged within Colby’s heart. He had assumed Roxanne’s call was a result of her realizing


    something unusual about the fire. He did not expect it to be for this reason.


    I have done so much, but still, Roxanne refuses to spare me even a nce! If that is the case, I don’t


    mind teaching her a lesson! With that thought in mind, Colby purposely slowed down and made slight


    mistakes along the way.


    Since Roxanne was so anxious about the infected people, he wanted to make sure they suffered


    longer. That way, Roxanne would learn to find professionals to handle professional matters the next


    time.


    For instance, he knew more about medicinal herbs than Lucian! “Is it not done yet?” Lucian asked as


    he looked at the time, furrowing his brows.


    Colby raised his head indifferently. “The quantity of medicinal herbs used has to be very precise. I have


    to be careful when measuring them.”


    Hearing that, Lucian suppressed the worry in his heart and fell silent. His brows drew together as he


    watched Colby’s every movement.


    Colby felt his stare and reverted to his regr speed, afraid Lucian might suspect something. After he


    prepared the prescription, he nced at the time. He had dyed the time by around half an hour.


    Satisfaction shed across Colby’s eyes, and he passed the medicinal herbs to Lucian. “It’s done. You


    should go, Mr. Farwell.”


    Lucian retracted his gaze and took the medicinal herbs. He uttered a word of thanks before leaving.


    Colby watched him leave with a sinister look.


    One day, I’ll make sure Roxanne only looks at me! No matter how exceptional Lucian or Jack is, they


    are only my steppingstones


    Back near the campsite, Roxanne did not know what was happening at the research institute as she


    waited anxiously for Lucian to arrive.


    Benny and Este were in so much pain they could hardly move anymore. They were also disying


    signs of losing consciousness.


    Archie was rmed when he noticed their feeble conditions. “Mommy, are Benny and Essie going to


    be okay? They seem to be in so much pain…”


    Roxanne suppressed her anxiety and patted Archie’s head. She reassured him, “Don’t worry. Mr.


    Farwell will be here soon.”


    Este must have heard them talking about Lucian as she opened her eyes weakly and extended her


    hand toward Roxanne.


    Roxanne instantly lifted the little girl into her arms. Then, she began to tenderly stroke Este’s back as


    she murmured soothing words.


    Meanwhile, Archie massaged Benny’s stomach gently.


    The sky was turning dark as the four of them waited in the car anxiously.


    Suddenly, they saw a bright light from afar.


    Archie’s eyes lit up. “Mommy, Mr. Farwell is here!”


    Besides Lucian, Archie could not think of anyone else who woulde here at this time.


    The light soon enveloped their surroundings.


    Roxanne was still carrying Este in her arms as she nced in the direction of the light.


    When she saw the familiar Bentley, she heaved a sigh of relief.


    Lucian was finally here.


    Soon, the car stopped beside them. Lucian got out of the car with a bag of medicinal herbs.


    “Mr. Farwell!”

    Archie ran over to him excitedly.


    Lucian patted Archie’s head with a grim expression, and they quickly made their way over to where


    Roxanne was.


    Lucian was only wearing a thin shirt, even though it was a chilly night.


    Roxanne finally calmed down when she saw the man in front of her. Despite that, it still took her a while


    to snap back to reality.


    Lucian’s gaze moved from her to Benny and Este.
