Chapter 1748 A Second Chance

Roxanne could not wrap her head around Lucian's reaction because, personally, she was staggered when she found

out that Estella was her daughter, but Lucian's face showed almost no traces of any emotions or doubt.

Does he trust me that much, or is it because he knew about it already?

A frown marred her brows at the thought.

Looking at the anxious woman, Lucian caressed her head, saying. “I knew about this. That's why I'm not surprised.”

"When?” Roxanne blurted.

Then, it occurred to her that Lucian's attitude toward Archie and Benny had always been the same, even before

she fell unconscious.

Just as Lucian said, he had always been fond of the boys, although they disliked him because of Roxanne initially.

It did not matter whether it was because of his feelings for her or because he genuinely loved Archie and Bennie.

Either way, it was evident that he cared for the boys as much as he did Estella, especially when he had made their

background public to protect them.

Roxanne recalled everything that happened, but the more she thought about it, the harder it was for her to pinpoint

when exactly Lucian found out the truth.

“I went to Colby to see if there was a way to save you when you fell unconscious. I was over the moon when I

learned the boys are mine, but I was more worried about you at the time.”

Since Lucian already knew they were his sons, it did not come off as surprising for him when Roxanne revealed the

truth.

“So, it was him...” A sense of resignation washed over Roxanne at the mention of Colby's name.

Reading her mind, Lucian said, “Colby really regrets what he did. Actually, he's partially why you managed to

recover this time, so I took the liberty of inviting him to return to work at the research institute after his jail

sentence ends. Of course, I can always send him elsewhere if you don't feel comfortable about it.”

Roxanne was astonished to hear the news. “Well, I definitely don't mind if he is sorry for what he did. It’s just that...”

Roxanne intended to give Colby the benefit of the doubt and was more than happy to work with him again since

they went a long way back, but she was unsure if Lucian would get jealous.

“I warned him I wouldn't let him off the hook this easily if he were to do anything to harm you or the children

again,” Lucian asserted with a frown.

Roxanne smiled at his reply. “I'll make sure to be on my guard too.”

Now that she thought about it, she found it ironic that she—a doctor—had repeatedly been drugged.

I bet Professor Lambert will say I need to go back to school. I need to hone my medical skills after I get discharged

from the hospital to save more people and take better care of myself.

When Lucian saw that Roxanne was being critical of herself, he quickly changed the topic.

“By the way, I might have come to terms with Archie and Benny's relationship with me, but I'm still disgruntled by

the fact that some other man was in the know before I was.”

The fact that Colby was the one who took care of her throughout her pregnancy made Lucian feel guilty, or more

precisely, jealous.
