Eventually, noon arrived.
Noticing that, Lucian asked Cayden to buy them lunch.
However, Peregrine and Roxanne were too absorbed in their work to eat.
“You should eat something.” Lucian persuaded resignedly, “Even if you don't, Old Mr. Lomax should still do so.”
In response, Roxanne reluctantly turned her attention to Peregrine for a few seconds. “I heard from Lucian that you've been staying up all night for the past few days, Old. Mr. Lomax. I bet you must be tired. You should eat something. I can still keep my eyes on the screen.”
I am feeling quite tired. Peregrine sighed. “I suppose my body isn't as vigorous as it used to be. Very well, then. I'll eat while you keep watch.” Then, he started eating at the side.
She nodded and returned to the screen to watch Madilyn work.
Furrowing his eyebrows, Lucian wanted to advise Roxanne to eat since she didn't seem to do that. However, he swallowed his words when he thought about how she was saving herself.
Hence, he grabbed the lunchbox from Cayden, plopped down next to the bed, and fed her.
Roxanne was so focused that it took her a few seconds to realize she was eating.
She flashed an apologetic smile at him after detecting the heart-wrenching look in his eyes.
“It's fine if you work. Although, you still need to eat,” remarked Lucian with resignation.
Without hesitation, she shifted her sight back to the screen and saw Madilyn had inserted the rest of the fluid into the testing instrument, waiting for the result.
