“I'll go brew the medicine.”
Roxanne jolted back to her senses and took the medicinal herbs from him.
However, just as she moved to get out of the car, Estella instinctively grabbed tighter to her clothes in her unconscious state.
As she was sick, Estella innately wanted to be close to someone who provided her with a sense of security.
It was evident that Roxanne was such a person to the little girl.
Roxanne froze upon noticing Estella's movement. In the end, she did not let go of the girl, who remained in her arms. With Estella in one hand and the bag of medicine in the other, she got out of the car.
“Can you help me look after Benny, Mr. Farwell?”
As she spoke, she glanced at Benny, who was still sitting in the car.
Before Lucian could say anything, Archie promised, “I'll take good care of Benny!”
Roxanne smiled when she heard that. She then carried Estella toward the direction of the tent.
She could only head there to brew the medicine, as all their equipment was placed near the tent.
Lucian stared at Roxanne's retreating figure with a complicated expression. A second later, Benny caught his attention.
“Mommy...”
Benny was already fading out of consciousness from the pain.
However, he still called out as he felt his mother leave him.
As he muttered, his hand reached out in the direction of where Roxanne was previously sitting. However, his hand grasped empty air.
The next second, Benny sniffled pitifully and placed his hand back on his stomach.
His pained expression made Lucian frown. After a moment of hesitation, he shifted Benny into his arms.
Benny instinctively extended his hand to grab Lucian's shirt.
Lucian's heart softened when he saw Benny's reliant action.
