Chapter 1745: Am Perfectly Fine Now

“Where’s Jack? Tell him to come out here and explain himself!” The crowd pressed around Kevin, demanding Jack’s whereabouts.

Kevin, struggling to support Hector, attempted to calm them. “Mr. Damaris is waiting for you all at Damaris Group. Please go there while I take Old Mr. Damaris to the hospital.”

They didn’t doubt him; Hector’s faint made it inappropriate to obstruct the way. After Kevin left, they proceeded angrily to Damaris Group.

The Damaris family’s century-old business had crumbled overnight. Jonathan raised an eyebrow at Lucian upon seeing the news. “Will you go see Roxanne? She’s been looking for you since regaining consciousness.”

Lucian, barely satisfied with the situation, composed himself before entering her room.

The door’s movement drew everyone’s attention. Linda whispered, “Mr. Farwell is here,” the only one unaware of the events.

Madilyn glanced at Lucian, then at her friend, holding the three children’s hands and smiling. “Let’s go. I’ll take you out for some delicious food. You three must be starving after being busy all night, right?”

The children nodded, giggling discreetly at their father. Peregrine also excused himself shortly after. Everyone discreetly left, giving the couple privacy.

Pin-drop silence filled the room as they gazed at each other. Roxanne broke the silence, worry etched on her face. “Where were you?”

Lucian sat beside her, solemnly scrutinizing her condition. Roxanne smiled gently. “I’m fine now. The specialists and Old Mr. Lomax examined me. I’ll fully recover with a few more days’ rest.”

Lucian finally relaxed. Tenderness filled his eyes. “Archie and Benny said you’re the best doctor in the world. I thought they exaggerated, but it seems they were right.”

Roxanne laughed. “Archie said the same thing! You two are really in sync.”

Lucian raised an eyebrow. “Our assessment is accurate. Without your exceptional skills, I might have lost the love of my life. Thank you.”

Roxanne noticed Lucian’s increasingly direct affection, from calling her his wife to “the love of his life.” She blushed and lowered her head.

Fear lingered in Lucian's chest. He muttered, “It’s true. I was so close to losing you…”

He reflected on their relationship: every significant encounter, including their marriage and reunion, had been initiated by Roxanne. In their life-threatening situations, she'd always fought to survive and remain by his side.

Intense guilt overwhelmed him. Seeing his silence, she looked up, bewildered. Their eyes met; Roxanne saw the turmoil in his eyes and her heart ached. Thinking he was still troubled by his worry, she caressed his face.

“Don’t be scared. Look, I’m perfectly fine now, aren’t I?”
