Chapter 948 Extreme Pain
Jealousy surged within Colby’s heart. He had assumed Roxanne’s call was a result of her realizing something
unusual about the fire. He did not expect it to be for this reason.
I have done so much, but still, Roxanne refuses to spare me even a glance! If that is the case, I don’t mind teaching
her a lesson! With that thought in mind, Colby purposely slowed down and made slight mistakes along the way.
Since Roxanne was so anxious about the infected people, he wanted to make sure they suffered longer. That way,
Roxanne would learn to find professionals to handle professional matters the next time.
For instance, he knew more about medicinal herbs than Lucian! “Is it not done yet?” Lucian asked as he looked at
the time, furrowing his brows.
Colby raised his head indifferently. “The quantity of medicinal herbs used has to be very precise. I have to be
careful when measuring them.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing that, Lucian suppressed the worry in his heart and fell silent. His brows drew together as he watched
Colby’s every movement.
Colby felt his stare and reverted to his regular speed, afraid Lucian might suspect something. After he prepared the
prescription, he glanced at the time. He had delayed the time by around half an hour.
Satisfaction flashed across Colby’s eyes, and he passed the medicinal herbs to Lucian. “It’s done. You should go, Mr.
Farwell.”
Lucian retracted his gaze and took the medicinal herbs. He uttered a word of thanks before leaving.
Colby watched him leave with a sinister look.
One day, I’ll make sure Roxanne only looks at me! No matter how exceptional Lucian or Jack is, they are only my
steppingstones!
Back near the campsite, Roxanne did not know what was happening at the research institute as she waited
anxiously for Lucian to arrive.
Benny and Estella were in so much pain they could hardly move anymore. They were also displaying signs of losing
consciousness.
Archie was alarmed when he noticed their feeble conditions. “Mommy, are Benny and Essie going to be okay? They
seem to be in so much pain…”
Roxanne suppressed her anxiety and patted Archie’s head. She reassured him, “Don’t worry. Mr. Farwell will be
here soon.”
Estella must have heard them talking about Lucian as she opened her eyes weakly and extended her hand toward
Roxanne.
Roxanne instantly lifted the little girl into her arms. Then, she began to tenderly stroke Estella’s back as she
murmured soothing words.
Meanwhile, Archie massaged Benny’s stomach gently.
The sky was turning dark as the four of them waited in the car anxiously.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, they saw a bright light from afar.
Archie’s eyes lit up. “Mommy, Mr. Farwell is here!”
Besides Lucian, Archie could not think of anyone else who would come here at this time.
The light soon enveloped their surroundings.
Roxanne was still carrying Estella in her arms as she glanced in the direction of the light.
When she saw the familiar Bentley, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Lucian was finally here.
Soon, the car stopped beside them. Lucian got out of the car with a bag of medicinal herbs.
“Mr. Farwell!”
Archie ran over to him excitedly.
Lucian patted Archie’s head with a grim expression, and they quickly made their way over to where Roxanne was.
Lucian was only wearing a thin shirt, even though it was a chilly night.
Roxanne finally calmed down when she saw the man in front of her. Despite that, it still took her a while to snap
back to reality.
Lucian’s gaze moved from her to Benny and Estella.
