“You've only just recovered, and you have yet to make a full recovery,” Lucian replied with a disapproving frown.
“I know what I'm doing. At least I can get off the bed and walk around now,” Roxanne explained patiently.
After arguing for a bit, Lucian gave in and said, “You can't leave the hospital. If you must see them, I'll have Cayden bring them over.”
“If you do that, they'll find out about me being sick,” Roxanne protested with a hesitant look in her eyes.
She didn't want the kids to worry about her at all.
“We'll tell them you caught a cold after getting off the plane, so I had you sent to a hospital for treatment. They're still kids, so I don't think they'd be able to find out the truth,” Lucian suggested after giving it some thought.
Roxanne still felt it wasn't a good idea, but decided to go along with it anyway.
Lucian then stepped aside and gave Cayden a call.
Having dropped off Madilyn and Elektra, Cayden had just arrived at the hospital when he got Lucian's call.
“I have sent Ms. Lane and Ms. Xander home safely, Mr. Farwell,” Cayden reported immediately after answering the phone.
“Got it. I need you to head over to the manor and bring the kids over,” Lucian replied.
Cayden froze. “I thought you wanted to keep this a secret from the kids?”
Wouldn't they find out what happened if I bring them over to the hospital?
“I want you to go pick them up tonight. If they ask any questions, just tell them that Roxanne is being treated at a hospital because she had a fever after getting off the plane,” Lucian replied.
As Lucian had already come up with an excuse, Cayden knew better than to say any further.
