The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 1673 Searched The Library

Following Madilyn's departure, pin-drop silence filled the air inside the ward.

Lucian dragged a chair over and sat beside the bed. He grasped Roxanne's hand with a tender look spread across his face.

"Don't worry, Roxanne. Everyone is thinking of ways to save you. Even Old Mr. Lomax is here. He's currently browsing through references with Jonathan to figure out how to treat you. I believe he will definitely come up with a solution. I think you would want to meet him too," Lucian said patiently despite knowing she couldn't hear him. "I'm also aware of Archie and Benny's parentage now. I'm sorry for not discovering they are my children earlier. I'm also grateful I didn't treat them with prejudice because I mistook them as another man's offspring. You've raised them well. On the other hand, I failed to take good care of our daughter. Because of me, our three children grew up in an incomplete family. Now that I know the truth, I only wish to do my best to compensate you all, but that can only be done provided that you wake up. You will tough this out for the kids, won't you?"

Gently rubbing his fingers against her hand, he unwittingly tightened his grip and fell silent for a few seconds before adding, "If the doctors still can't think of a solution after three days, I will have no choice but to agree to Jack's request. By then, he will undoubtedly force me to marry another woman. I hope that after you regain consciousness...” He paused for a few moments before letting out a sigh of resignation. "When you regain consciousness and wish to hate me, you can do so. It was my fault for failing to safeguard you, so this is a burden I deserve to bear."

Roxanne did not respond even after he muttered the long speech.

In the end, Lucian's heart ached so terribly that he couldn't speak further. He could only sit on the side of the bed and gazed at her in silence.

Another sleepless night ensued.
