Although Roxanne's fever had gone down, Archie and Benny were still worried, so they made their mother stay at home for another two days.
Once she was fully recovered, she sent the two children to kindergarten in the morning. Just as she got into her car and was about to drive to the research institute, her phone suddenly rang.
After taking a glance at the caller ID, she realized it was a call from Harvey, her professor.
Thinking that he was calling about the project, Roxanne quickly picked up the call and asked, "Professor Lambert, what's the matter?"
Harvey sounded solemn. "Did you offend someone?"
Roxanne was baffled by his words. "What do you mean?"
"It seems that someone has been looking into your matters during your time overseas," Harvey said to her grimly. "That's why I'm asking if you offended anyone in the country. The other party seems to be keen to cause a scene with what happened during your time out of the country."
Roxanne's heart sank. "Is it possible to find out who it is?”
"I'm afraid not. You should know that my influence is mainly over medical affairs. The other party has more influence than me, and I really can't find out who's behind this for now."
Roxanne bit her lower lip as a thought flashed past her mind.
Lucian had once expressed his curiosity about her overseas experiences back when she was treating Alfred.
Furthermore, Lucian had also asked her multiple times who Archie and Benny's biological father was after getting to know the two boys.
Now that he has spent so much time with the boys, is he starting to doubt the boys' background? Is that why he's making investigations overseas? Professor Lambert has also said that the other party has more power than him.
That thought made panic surge in Roxanne's chest.
if he really finds out about something, will he take Archie and Benny away from me?
The more Roxanne thought about it, the tenser her voice became. "Do you know what he's looking into?"
