Chapter 1997 Lifelong Imprint
“How is that possible?” Madilyn exclaimed in surprise.
She searched her memory of the many years she had known Roxanne, but there was no evidence that Roxanne
and Lucian had met during their teenage years.
During their first three years of marriage, Roxanne was nothing more than a nominal wife, and ultimately, Lucian
heartlessly divorced her.
Then came six years of separation. Roxanne gave birth to three children. Estella was on the verge of death and was
diagnosed by the hospital as unlikely to survive.
Unexpectedly, after several twists and turns, Ethan went to Epea and tracked down the hospital Roxanne had
delivered the triplets. In the end, Estella was rescued and brought back to Horington.

proceeded to lead separate lives for six years.
At present, Roxanne had returned to Horington for almost a year.
Aside from the past ten years, Roxanne had never mentioned to Madilyn about knowing Lucian earlier.
“Well, it's a long story. Maybe I shouldn't say anything.” Roxanne's teasing tone sounded casual. She seemed totally
unfazed by the purple wish bottle.
Hearing her friend's impish voice, Madilyn protested loudly, “No! You must tell us. I'll go get Jonathan, and we'll
come over to listen to your story.”
Meanwhile, at the manor, Roxanne smiled. “Fine. You two lovebirds can come over. I'll tell you everything.”
When Roxanne returned home after sending the three kids to school, Madilyn and Jonathan had already arrived.
Jonathan was holding the purple wish bottle, which was still sealed.
The two looked at Roxanne suspiciously, unconvinced she had written the letter.
“Roxanne, no matter how you put it, this wish bottle was buried by Lucian and me the year before we went to
university. I don't remember having known you back then.” Jonathan had repeatedly explained that to Madilyn in
the car.
Back then, Jonathan, Lucian, James, and Elektra would often hang out together on weekends, even though they
attended different schools.
Jonathan remembered that although they hung out together, everyone was engaged in different activities.
Lucian spent his time studying various business cases and acquiring business knowledge whenever he had the
chance, while James had already developed a strong interest in psychology. Now, it seemed to Jonathan that James'
mother, Yennefer, had already fallen ill at that time.
Elektra, on the other hand, paid attention to various fashion trends and celebrity clothing every day.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJonathan was the only one who truly focused on his studies. He had no choice but to rely on rote memorization, as
he wasn't a natural talent.
Roxanne nodded, the expression in her eyes becoming somewhat distant as she reminisced about the past.
“Indeed, under normal circumstances, I would've never met Lucian. The high school he attended, being a
renowned art academy in the country, was not only an excellent private school but also a place teeming with
children of the social elites. Jonathan, like you, I only attended an ordinary high school.”
Jonathan nodded in agreement.
She elaborated, “However, you were just being stubborn too. Your family had the means to send you to the same
school as Lucian. He told me this himself back then.”
“Yes, that's true. Lucian even told you that? In that case, you two must've been very close at that time, right?”
asked Jonathan.
Unexpectedly, Roxanne shook her head. Nonetheless, a faint, contented smile appeared on her face.
“Actually, we weren't close. Fate is really quite fascinating. Do you remember the custom of student exchanges
between many schools in the past? That's right. Lucian was an exchange student who came to my school. He was
only there for a short month, but he left a lifelong imprint in my heart!”
