Chapter 945 What Medicine His heart sank when the realization hit him. “What's wrong?” Archie glanced at Benny and Estella. “Are you free now? Can you cand pick us up?” Lucian’s frown deepened. “Where is your mommy? What happened to you?” His first assumption was that something had happened to them. Otherwise, there was no reason for Archie to make that request.

A few seconds of silence ensued before Archie replied, during which Lucian heard someone sobbing in the background. This further affirmed his suspicion. “Our car hit a tree, and—" Before Archie could explain Benny and Estella’s condition, Lucian cut in, “Are you all right? Are you badly hurt? I'll cto you right now!” As he spoke, he strode toward the elevator quickly. Archie hurriedly explained, “We didn’t get hurt, but Benny and Essie are sick.” Lucian was already inside the elevator when he heard that. Archie wanted to clarify further but thought he couldn't make things clear. Thus, he said, “I'll ask Mommy to talk to you!” He opened the door and hopped out. Dashing over to Roxanna, he removed his smartwatch and handed it to her.

When Roxanne saw Archie appearing beside her without warning, she instinctively took one look at the car.

Archie's here. That means Benny and Essie...

“What happened to them?” Suddenly, Lucian’s deep voice pulled her out of her reverie. Roxanne stiffened in shock. She belatedly noticed the smartwatch that Archie was offering her.

Archie had turned on the speaker mode, so Lucian’s voice sounded especially loud. She didn't know what to reply after hearing his voice suddenly.

“Mommy!” Archie tugged at the hem of her clothes urgently.

Only then did Roxanne snap back to her senses. She tamped down the peculiar sensation in her heart and took the smartwatch from Archie. “I'm sorry for not taking good care of Essie,” she said apologetically.

Lucian’s gaze darkened a shade when he sensed something was amiss. Slowly, he probed, “What happened? Archie toldBenny and Essie are sick. Is that true?” Strangely, Roxanne felt herself calming down upon hearing his voice. She explained, “They contracted a type of bacteria that caused them to suffer from severe abdominal pain. | was about to bring them back to the research institute to prepare their medicine, but | was too hasty and drove the car into a tree.” Lucian’s voice was still calm. “Are they in a serious condition?” Roxanne inclined her head. “I gave them herbs to ease their pain, but it isn’t working well.” She added, “I know how to treat them, but the medicinal herbs are at the research institute. | need to bring them there.” Lucian’s brows scrunched up. “Where are you?” Roxanne told him their location.

“It's too far away, so it will take at least four hours to travel to and fro. Don’t forget you'll have to brew the medicine, too. Can they hold on for that long?” Lucian inquired. The sthought had also crossed Roxanne’s mind.

Initially, she planned on bringing the kids back to the research institute. She also considered asking Madilyn or Larry to head to the research institute and deliver the medicine to her instead.

They were both excellent doctors and knew the medicinal herbs well. Thus, Roxanne could trust them. That way, it wouldn't take up too much teither.

Alas, they were busy and couldn't be of help. She was stumped when Lucian offered, “What do you need? | can head to the research institute and deliver the medicinal herbs you need.”
