Chapter 1707 Seeking Permission

Back at the hospital, Roxanne was still awake.

Lucian quickened his pace when he saw the lights in her ward were still on.

“Why are you still up?” He was worried when he saw Roxanne sitting on the bed in a daze.

Roxanne returned to her senses after she heard his voice and smiled. “I've slept too much for four days straight, so I can't fall asleep now.”

Then, she asked about the kids, “Where are the kids? Are they asleep?”

“I've tugged them in bed before coming here,” Lucian replied.

Roxanne felt more at ease hearing that. Soon after, she started worrying about him. “You look pale. You should get a good rest at home.”

People might think Lucian was the one who was sick after seeing his face.

Hearing that, Lucian ran his hand down his face instinctively. Then, he forced a smile. “I had the experience of being unable to sleep for days for work so it's no big deal.”

He walked up and sat next to the bed. Then, he looked at Roxanne with a tender gaze. “Besides, how can I leave you all alone at the hospital? I'm sure the kids wouldn't let me do that.”

Roxanne gave him a puzzled look. What has that got to do with the kids?

With a smile, Lucian told her what the kids had told him in the car earlier.
