Chapter 1673 Searched The Library
Following Madilyn''s departure, pin-drop silence filled the air inside the ward.
Lucian dragged a chair over and sat beside the bed. He grasped Roxanne''s hand with a tender look
spread across his face.
“Don''t worry, Roxanne. Everyone is thinking of ways to save you. Even Old Mr. Lomax is here. He''s
currently browsing through references with Jonathan to figure out how to treat you. I believe he will
definitelye up with a solution. I think you would want to meet him too,” Lucian said patiently despite
knowing she couldn''t hear him. “I''m also aware of Archie and Benny''s parentage now. I''m sorry for not
discovering they are my children earlier. I''m also grateful I didn''t treat them with prejudice because I
mistook them as another man''s offspring. You''ve raised them well. On the other hand, I failed to take
good care of our daughter. Because of me, our three children grew up in an iplete family. Now
that I know the truth, I only wish to do my best topensate you all, but that can only be done
provided that you wake up. You will tough this out for the kids, won''t you?”
Gently rubbing his fingers against her hand, he unwittingly tightened his grip and fell silent for a few
seconds before adding, “If the doctors still can''t think of a solution after three days, I will have no choice
but to agree to Jack''s request. By then, he will undoubtedly force me to marry another woman. I hope
that after you regain consciousness...” He paused for a few moments before letting out a sigh of
resignation. “When you regain consciousness and wish to hate me, you can do so. It was my fault for
failing to safeguard you, so this is a burden I deserve to bear.”
Roxanne did not respond even after he muttered the long speech.
In the end, Lucian''s heart ached so terribly that he couldn''t speak further. He could only sit on the side
of the bed and gazed at her in silence.
Another sleepless night ensued.
The next morning, Lucian got up and left the ward when the doctors came to do their rounds.
Standing in the corridor and watching the doctors doing their jobs, Lucian couldn''t stop himself from
taking out his phone and contacting Jonathan.
He lost contact with Peregrine after thetter''sst visit to the hospital. He wondered if Peregrine had
thought of any treatment ns.
It took a while before Jonathan answered.
“What''s the matter, Lucian? Did Roxanne''s condition destabilize again?” Jonathan whispered.
Obviously, he was hiding in a corner, speaking with an undertone.
Lucian knitted his brows. “Are you still browsing through references?”
Jonathan nodded. “We stayed up the whole night yesterday and almost searched all the medical-
rted books in the library, but...”
N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
At the thought of the oue, Jonathan hesitated to speak. We''ve gone through so many references,
yet Old Mr. Lomax is still clueless about how to cure Roxanne''s condition.
He couldn''t bring himself to inform Lucian of that depressive news.
Lucian''s heart sank as he managed to guess theck of progress. Still, he didn''t probe further and
merely said, “Help me express my gratitude and take good care of Old Mr. Lomax. I''ll personally thank
him again after tomorrow.” Old Mr. Lomax is already of such advanced age, yet he''s willing to stay up
all night to study medical books for Roxanne''s sake. This gesture alone is sufficiently moving.
Jonathan heaved a soundless sigh beforeforting Lucian, “There''s another day left. We will find a
way. Don''t worry, Lucian.”
Lucian grunted indifferently in response and hung up the call the next second, not giving Jonathan the
opportunity to say another word.
Staring at his dimming phone screen and shifting his gaze to Peregrine, who was flipping through the
medical references, Jonathan felt heavy-hearted.
Although he had consoled Lucian in that manner earlier, he couldn''t deny the cold, hard truth lying
before them.
The chances of saving Roxanne with thebined effort of only a few of them were very slim.
