Chapter 774 Perceived The Identities Of Archie And Benny
Fortunately, the spray they formulated worked in no time. Mere seconds after Roxanne sprayed the children all over, they stopped itching, simply in a daze from the high fever.
After spraying them all over, she turned and looked at the man behind her. She handed the spray in her hand to him. “Go and deal with it in the bathroom, Mr. Farwell.”
Dipping his head slightly, Lucian took the spray and went into the bathroom.
Roxanne, on the other hand, opened another bottle of spray and sprayed herself in the bedroom.
Having done that, she sprayed the room. Then, she took some disinfectant upstairs and sanitized the room.
When she had finished sanitizing the place, Lucian so happened to step out of the bathroom.
At the sight of her bustling around in the bedroom, he strode forward with a frown, planning to help.
“Carry the kids out. This room has to be left unoccupied for two days,” Roxanne instructed, noticing his intention.
Upon hearing that, Lucian swiftly changed directions. He carried the children downstairs one by one and placed them on the couch for the time being. Subsequently, he headed back to Roxanne’s bedroom.
It was the middle of the night, so Roxanne was a tad drowsy after she had finished doing everything. She was planning to go downstairs to check on the children when she collided with a solid chest the moment she turned around.
Before she realized what had happened, Lucian had already reached out and supported her by the waist.
Roxanne was stumped for several seconds before she abruptly jolted back to reality. At once, she backed away. “Why are you back?”
“The kids are all asleep, so I came upstairs to see whether you needed my help,” Lucian replied in a deep voice.
Tilting her head a fraction in acknowledgment of his reply, Roxanne lifted the spray in her hand. “I’ve already dealt with things here. Next, you need to sanitize your car thoroughly.”
Lucian grunted in acquiescence.
The two of them went downstairs, one after another, to sanitize his car.
“Are there any valuable things in the car?” Roxanne asked, glancing over her shoulder at Lucian after having sanitized the car. She then elaborated, “The windows have to be opened tonight for the air to circulate overnight. Then, the car can be used tomorrow.”
In response, Lucian shook his head.
Thus, Roxanne rolled down all four windows fully. Having done that, she reminded him, “Remember to also sanitize your house tomorrow. This bacteria is highly contagious.”
Lucian murmured in affirmation before following her back into the mansion unhurriedly.
The children’s symptoms had been alleviated by far after they had used the spray. Hence, they would be fine once their fever abated.
However, it was evidently uncomfortable for them to sleep on the couch, for all three of them were sleeping rather fitfully.
“Mommy, Daddy…” Benny muttered as he opened his eyes dazedly and saw the two adults entering the house.
Hearing that, Roxanne merely assumed that he was talking in his sleep. But still, her heart inexorably lurched, and she stole a peek at the man beside her on reflex.
Meanwhile, Lucian frowned, for he thought Benny was dreaming about the man who abandoned him and his mother.
At that possibility, he swung his gaze at the woman beside him with a dark look in his eyes.
On the contrary, Roxanne had no idea of his thoughts. When she locked gazes with him, she merely felt guilty, fearful he had perceived Archie and Benny’s identities.
As Lucian glimpsed her expression, his gaze darkened further.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time, different thoughts running through their minds. Roxanne was the first to avert her gaze. She suggested airily, “Let’s carry them to the guest room on the first floor. That room can still be occupied.”
Languidly retracting his gaze, Lucian leaned down and scooped Archie and Benny up. He then whirled around and headed toward the guest room.
Roxanne, on the other hand, carefully scooped Estella up and entered the room behind him.
