Lucian immediately frowned and glared at his mother. “Mom, it's an accident. What are you talking about?”

“Yes, yes. It's an accident, but you guys are being too careless. How could you simply let your child perform on stage with animals? That's so dangerous. All I can say is that Roxanne's not being meticulous enough.”

Realizing Sonya was placing all the blame on Roxanne, Lucian fumed, “Mom, are you here to see me or make accusations? If you keep doing this in the future, you might as well not come here!”

Sonya was rendered speechless.

She never expected her son to say something so heartless, and it left her briefly stunned. At first, she wanted to scold him, but she kept it in. “All right. I won't talk about it anymore. Anyway, I've been thinking about the two kids for the past two days. Can I raise my doubts? Can I ask Roxanne for evidence?” Sonya uttered in a calm tone.

There was no way Lucian could evade that problem. Even if everyone in the family believed it, the branch families of the Farwell family might not necessarily believe it.

After mulling it over, he nodded in agreement. “Okay. I'll get a paternity test done to convince them.”


Sonya put on a smile, for her wish was fulfilled.

She did not believe the kids were Lucian's. She was sure Roxanne had bewitched him.

After that, Lucian persuaded Sonya to leave by using his exhaustion as an excuse.

When the children were awake, Lucian distanced himself from them. He also informed them about his sickness and told them not to get close to him.

“Mommy's sleeping now because she stayed up last night to take care of me. Please be quiet today and do not make any noise, okay? Archie, I'll need you to take care of your siblings.”

The trio nodded obediently.

“You must be feeling uncomfortable, too. Please get some rest. That way, you'll recover faster,” Estella urged.

“That's right. If there's anything you need, you can let us know. We can help take care of you as well,” said Archie and Benny.

Indeed, Lucian was tired. He had been so busy since Roxanne got poisoned that he had not gotten enough rest.

After informing the butlers and housekeepers, he retired to his room.

Roxanne was already sound asleep, lying on the bed in a lazy yet cute position. Seeing that, Lucian pulled the blanket over her before lying down.
