With Estella in his arms, Lucian followed in long strides behind the boy.
Roxanne was still worried about Archic, who had run oll alonc. After a while, she gently said to Benny, “Help me up. Benny. Let's go look for Archic.” However, the latter shook his head without hesitation. “You're hurt, Mommy. You can’t move. Archie will bring somcone over soon.” Roxanne’s eyebrows furrowed slightly at Benny's reaction. “I'm worried for Archie. Although | know that both of you are more than capable to take care of yourselves, I'll still be worried,” she patiently tried to convince him.
Listening to his mother’s words, Benny seemed to hesitate.
He did not want Roxanne’s injury to worsen, but he also did not want her to worry for them.
Just as Benny was contemplating listening to his mother and helping her up, Archie’s voice could be heard from afar.

Roxanne immediately heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Archie.
Thank goodness he did not get lost, and he actually brought someone over to help.
“I'm sorry for bothering you. My kids are worried because I've been lightly injured,” Roxanne quickly apologized politely even though she could not clearly see who had arrived.
— The words had barely left her mouth when she heard Estella’s voice. “Ms. Jarvis...” She sounded as though she was on the verge of crying.
Roxanne was instantly stunned as a ridiculous thought flashed across her mind.
But the very next second, Estella’s tiny figure appeared within her line of vision.
Roxanne subconsciously looked behind Estella.
Under the noonlight, all she could see was Lucian’s all figure walking over in big strides.
Her words got caught in her throat as she stared at the man walking over. She did not know how to react at that moment.
Her previous attempts on avoiding Lucian must have been noticed by him as well.
However, in just a sudden turn of events, she found hersell relying on him once again.

Don’t be afraid, Essic.” Estella bit her lip while her face was filled with worry. She looked up at her father and said, “Daddy, Ms. Jarvis’ foot...” Lucian had already walked over to them and had noticed the wound on Roxanne’s leg. He remained quiet all the while.
It was until Estella called out to him that he stopped staring at Roxanne’s injured foot. He looked over at the woman, who was still sitting on the sand.
Roxanne, too, subconsciously looked at the man next to her.
As their eyes met, Roxanne blinked and quickly averted her eyes. Instead, she smiled nonchalantly and said, “The wound isn’t too deep. I'm sorry for troubling you. The kids were too anxious and went to look for you. I'm actually all right on my own.” As she spoke, she turned to look at the twins next to her. “Archic, Benny, help me up,” she said in a slightly serious tone.
