Chapter 951 A Dream
Although Archie didn’t exhibit obvious symptoms, Roxanne still poured a cup of medicine for him. Archie took the cup and looked at her worriedly. “Aren’t you going to drink some, Mommy?” I remember Mommy had some water from my cup as well.
After hearing Archie’s words, Lucian stared at the woman in front of him with a darkened gaze. He only knew the children had consumed the contaminated water, but he had just found out that Roxanne had consumed it, too. Moreover, she was pretending as if she didn’t do so.
“I just had a sip, so I’m fine,” Roxanne comforted Archie with a smile. Archie glanced at his mother worriedly again before looking at Lucian. Mommy might not listen to me, but she might listen to Daddy.
Upon meeting Archie’s gaze, Lucian said in a deep voice, “You should drink some medicine, just in case.”
While speaking, he picked up a new paper cup from the side and handed it to Roxanne.
Having no other choice, Roxanne accepted the cup and poured the remaining traditional medicine into the cup. After downing the medicine in one go, she carefully fed the medicine to Benny—who was being held in her arms.
Benny was still slightly conscious and knew that Roxanne was feeding him some medicine. Cooperatively, he drank the medicine sip by sip.
As soon as Benny drank the hot medicine, a warm feeling rose in his stomach, suppressing the pain he was experiencing just now. Soon, his expression became relaxed.
After feeding Benny some medicine, Roxanne asked with concern, “How are you feeling right now?”
Benny grinned obediently. “Thank you, Mommy. I feel so much better now.”
Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief before turning around to look at Estella—who was in Lucian’s arms.
Estella still had her eyes closed and seemed to be in a weak state while Lucian was feeding her the medicine carefully.
However, Lucian obviously didn’t know how to take care of the child, and most of the medicine was spilled.
As for the remaining medicine, it was being spat out by Estella instinctively, as it was too bitter.
Seeing how uncooperative Estella was, Lucian knitted his brows tightly. He felt anxious and sorry at the same time.
“Let me do it instead.” Roxanne could no longer stand by and watch. Hence, she reached out to take the cup from his hand.
Lucian lifted his head and glanced at her. In the end, he said nothing and merely handed her the cup.
Compared to him, Roxanne’s movements were way gentler, and she slowly fed Estella the medicine.
This time, although Estella would still spit out some medicine, she still consumed a fair amount of it. Regardless, it was way better than when Lucian was feeding her.
After Estella had finished the medicine, she gradually woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Roxanne’s worried face and called out softly, “Ms. Jarvis…”
Upon hearing Estella’s cute voice, Roxanne finally felt a sense of relief. At the same time, she teared up uncontrollably.
It was fortunate that Lucian delivered the medicine to them on time. If not, the children might have suffered even more.
“How are you feeling?” Lucian asked in a low voice.
Since Estella was still in a daze, she thought she was dreaming when she heard Lucian’s voice. When she raised her eyes and saw him, she stared at him in confusion before saying, “Daddy?”
A rare tender expression appeared on Lucian’s face as he responded with a deep hum.
Feeling puzzled, Estella tilted her head. “Why are you here?” I remember Daddy telling us he wouldn’t come here with us.
Lucian patted her head gently and replied, “Archie told me you guys are sick, so I’m here to deliver some medicine to you.”
