Right at that moment, no one could listen to the announcement through the speakers anymore. The plane erupted into chaos, with wails and screams sounding from every part of the plane. There were even some passengers demanding answers to their questions.
It was Roxanne's first time experiencing such a situation as well. Although she felt uneasy, she still managed to calm herself down.
Yet as she listened to what was going on around her, the uneasy feeling in her heart seemed to have grown stronger.
The airplane was still experiencing turbulence.
Suddenly, someone cried out, “My kids are waiting for me at home.”
Roxanne clearly heard that sentence. Her eyes widened, and the restlessness in her heart seemed to have increased greatly.
My kids... Archie and Benny are still waiting for me at home.
Roxanne was already selfish enough to keep their family background a secret. She could not bear to think what would happen to them if something were to happen to her.
The moment she imagined her two children ending up alone if something happened to her, her face turned as pale as a sheet. She started breathing heavily, unable to catch her breath because of her anxiety.
Just when she felt she was about to pass out, a large hand tightly grabbed onto hers.
Roxanne barely regained some of her senses and heard Lucian's deep voice sounding next to her ear. “Don't worry. It's just turbulence. It'll be over soon.”
His voice seemed to have some sort of magical power, for Roxanne was able to breathe normally again after listening to him, although her body was still trembling.
When Lucian noticed Roxanne's nervous and anxious look, the anger in his heart long dissipated. On the contrary, his heart ached for her.
“I'm right here. Nothing will happen to us. Don't be afraid,” Lucian comforted her.
How can he call himself a man when he left his wife to raise their kids alone?
