Lucian was still talking. “It has already happened. If you want to blame someone, then blame me. I’m the one who lost control.” Roxanne covered her face in embarrassment. “Stop talking. Please leave and let me cool down on my own.”
Seeing Roxanne get embarrassed from his teasing, a hint of a smile appeared on Lucian’s lips, but it disappeared in a flash, and he returned to his serious expression.
“But now that I think about it, I feel like your response last night was rather strange.” He stared at her intently and asked, “Do you not remember anything?” Roxanne covered her face with her hands and tried hard to recall what had happened.
However, no matter how she tried to remember, she could only come up with her drunken foolishness. Lucian’s figure somewhat flashed before her, but she could not remember exactly what they did.
If it weren’t for the marks on their bodies or the soreness of her waist, Roxanne would not have been able to guess what had happened the night before.
After some time, she felt defeated and gave up on trying to remember. She shook her head and looked at Lucian. “I can’t remember anything.”
Lucian frowned. “How about now? Is your body feeling all right? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?” When she heard him ask those questions, Roxanne immediately thought of her sore waist.
Even if I did initiate things last night, I can’t believe Lucian is such a beast! Every time she moved, she felt as though her waist would break in half. However, with the current situation, she felt embarrassed to say that her waist hurt. Her face was red as she shook her head. “No.”
Lucian saw through her strange behavior. He glanced at her waist and said apologetically, “Sorry. Last night, I lost control-” “Stop!” Roxanne quickly interrupted and stopped him before he could continue.
I don’t want to think of what happened last night anymore! Lucian stopped himself. He turned serious as he said, “I also think you acted strangely last night. You were acting the same like that night six years ago.”
Roxanne scrunched her eyebrows. Six years ago, she was the one who fed Lucian the medication. After that, she drank some of it because she was afraid she would not have the guts to do it. No way. Did I fall into someone’s trap last night?
However, when she thought of the drinking party last night, it did not seem like anyone would harbor such ill intentions toward her. Plus, there were so many people at the drinking party. If someone were to do something, they would not do it in such a crowded place.
No matter how she racked her brain, she could not remember how she ended up in that state. Instead, it only jumbled up her thoughts. Roxanne could not help but be annoyed at herself. She was very talented in medicine, yet she was clueless about what had happened to her. “Stop thinking about it.”
Lucian noticed the change in her emotions and expressions and regretted telling her his opinion. He opened his arms and wrapped her into his embrace.
I can conduct an investigation on my own for this matter. I can always tell her about it when there’s a result. It would only add to Roxanne’s frustrations if he’ continued to talk about it.
Roxanne was still lost in her thoughts. She did not even realize that Lucian had wrapped his arms around her. She was already in Lucian’s embrace when she snapped back to reality.
Roxanne’s nose was filled with Lucian’s natural scent, calming her down. She initially wanted to push him away but stopped herself as she leaned against his shoulder. Lucian stroked her hair and comforted, “Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I’ll be by your side.”
He paused momentarily before he continued, “I’ll also take responsibility for my actions.”
