Chapter 949 Great Sense Of Security
“I’ll go brew the medicine.” Roxanne jolted back to her senses and took the medicinal herbs from him. However,
just as she moved to get out of the car, Estella instinctively grabbed tighter to her clothes in her unconscious state.
As she was sick, Estella innately wanted to be close to someone who provided her with a sense of security. It was
evident that Roxanne was such a person to the little girl.
Roxanne froze upon noticing Estella’s movement. In the end, she did not let go of the girl, who remained in her
arms. With Estella in one hand and the bag of medicine in the other, she got out of the car.
“Can you help me look after Benny, Mr. Farwell?” As she spoke, she glanced at Benny, who was still sitting in the
car. Before Lucian could say anything, Archie promised, “I’ll take good care of Benny!”

there to brew the medicine, as all their equipment was placed near the tent.
Lucian stared at Roxanne’s retreating figure with a complicated expression. A second later, Benny caught his
attention. “Mommy…”
Benny was already fading out of consciousness from the pain. However, he still called out as he felt his mother
leave him.
As he muttered, his hand reached out in the direction of where Roxanne was previously sitting. However, his hand
grasped empty air.
The next second, Benny sniffled pitifully and placed his hand back on his stomach. His pained expression made
Lucian frown. After a moment of hesitation, he shifted Benny into his arms.
Benny instinctively extended his hand to grab Lucian’s shirt. Lucian’s heart softened when he saw Benny’s reliant
action. Archie watched enviously at the sight of Lucian embracing Benny.
I also want to be hugged by Daddy like this…
With Benny in his embrace, Lucian glanced at the tent and saw that Roxanne was already brewing the medicine. He
said to Archie, “Let’s go over there.”
Archie was still immersed in his thoughts and did not reply to him immediately.
Lucian thought Archie was worrying about Benny and raised his other hand to pat the boy on his head. Then, he
bent down to take Archie’s hand.
Archie finally snapped back to reality. His eyes lit up when he realized his hand was being held by Lucian. He then
followed the man obediently to where Roxanne was.
Roxanne was sitting near the tent with Estella in her arms. The girl was trembling slightly, but Roxanne did not know
if it was because of the pain or the cold.

Roxanne stood up upon seeing that. She wanted to find a piece of clothing from the tent for Estella to wear. As soon
as she got up, she saw Lucian walking over with the two boys. “Is the medicine done?”
It took her a few seconds to regain her senses before she answered him, “We need to wait for another half an
hour.” With that, she directed her concerned gaze to Benny.
Her heart clenched when she noticed Benny was gripping Lucian’s expensive shirt. Lucian must give Benny a great
sense of security for the latter to have such a reliant action. Does Benny miss having a father?
At that moment, Roxanne felt like revealing the truth to Lucian. As she was contemplating, Benny’s murmur broke
the silence. “Daddy…”
Benny tightened his grip on Lucian’s shirt. It feels like Daddy’s embrace…
Benny was in so much pain he had lost consciousness. He did not know his mutter had led to tremendous shock for
the two adults who heard it.
