It was late at night. Roxanne assumed Lucian wouldn't return after putting the kids to bed, so she lay in bed and allowed her thoughts to run wild.
She thought she had stopped loving Lucian.
After hearing the opinions of the specialists and the children, as well as a faint recollection of Lucian's voice from when she was unconscious, she couldn't help but feel a maelstrom of churning emotions.
What does Lucian think of me?
An overwhelming swirl of emotions would flood Roxanne's mind whenever she thought about that.
“A penny for your thoughts.” Lucian's voice suddenly rang in her ear.
Taken aback, Roxanne quickly composed herself.
I was too engrossed in my thoughts. I didn't even know when Lucian came in!
“The specialists said you must not get emotional. If it's not important, you should stop thinking too much.”
Lucian's voice sounded calmer than before, which brought her a sense of security.
It took Roxanne a few seconds to regain her composure. She blurted out, “W-Why did you come back? It's late...”
Lucian revealed honestly, “You have just regained consciousness and need someone to accompany you. I can't let you stay here alone.”
Roxanne's eyes turned as wide as saucers. She couldn't believe her ears.
Does Lucian know what he's talking about? Does he know the significance of his words?
Uncertain about his thoughts, she refrained from asking him further questions. She tried to brush off the matter by saying, “I'm feeling better now. Mr. Farwell, you must be exhausted. You should turn in early tonight.”
Lucian's eyes were too bloodshot for her to ignore.
To her surprise, Lucian dragged a chair over and sat down beside her bed.
