Chapter 578

Lucian noticed how she was behaving, and his hands that were carrying her tightened.

The three children alltugged Lucian’s clothes as they followed after him. Their eyes were locked onto the woman in his ann.Lucian carried Roxanne all the way to a nearby clinic. Once they arrived, he carefully placed her down on the chair.

It was clear that the clinic’s doctor had dealt with such injuries before, for he was advising Roxanne as lic cleaned her wound,“It's comfortable to run on the beach without shoes, but it'll be hard to see what's hidden in the sand at night. Please be morecarcful in the future.”

Roxanne agreed as lier face reddened slightly in embarrassment.

“It's not a serious injury, but you have to take good care of it. Be careful when you walk during these two days, and try not toapply pressure on it. Furthermore, the wound must not get wet,” the doctor reminded her after he was done.

Roxanne’s eyebrows were furrowed as she tried to endure the pain. Before she could even react to the doctor’s advice, Lucian,who had been by her side, answered on her behalf. “All right. Thank you, doctor.”

The doctor thought that they were married, and thus he sincerely advised Lucian. “Go home and take good care of your wife. It'llbe hard for her to move around with a leg injury.”

Upon hearing that, Roxanne instinctively tried to explain, “You've misunderstood. We're not-”“| will” Lucian interrupted in a low voice.

Seeing both of their reactions, the doctor chuckled kilowingly. “Are you fighting with each other? If you two weren’t married, whywas there such a grand entrance? | was cleaning your wound, but this man seemed to be more anxious than you are.”

Roxanne frowned slightly as she looked up at the man next to her. A look of confusion flashed across her cyes.Lucian, on the other hand, nodded and made his way to settle the bill with the doctor. He then carne back to her.Noticing that he was bending over her, Roxannc’s body stitlened, and was about to push him away, “I can walk.”Just as she spoke, she had already been carried up into the air.

Roxanne made a soft sound of surprise as she grabbed onto his strong arm subconsciously.

The doctor stood by the side as he saw the scene unfold. A knowing smile appeared on his face.

Roxanne frowned, but she knew that she would not be able to break through Lucian’s. Therefore, she stopped struggling andawkwardly smiled at the doctor, allowing Lucian to carry lier out of

the clinicThe three children carried Roxanne’s shoes as they quickly walked behind Lucian

Once they arrived at the hotel, Lucian had just placed Roxanne down on the couch when all three of them quickly surroundedher. “Mommy!”

Roxanne was still having mixed feelings about what happence until she saw the worried look on their faces. She forced acomforting smile at them. “I’m okay.li’s just a small injury. Didn’t you hear the doctor just now? Alll have to do is to rest for twodays. It was my fault for being careless.

There’s no need to blame yourselves.”

The three children pouted as sadness was written all over their faces.

“Pack your things up. We’re going home,” Lucian’s voice rang out from the side.

“The three children instantly nodded obediently and ran upstairs to pack their bags.

Koxanne, however, had her eyebrows furrowed in disagreement. “Weren't we supposed to go to the hot springs?

The main objective of their trip here was to the hot springs.

Lucian frowned at her. “You’re already injured. How are you supposed to go to the hot springs:

“Even if | can’t go, the kids can. You should take thiem there. | can wait here. They shouldn't end the trip carly because I’minjured.” Roxanne looked at the stairs where the children had run off to,

Lucian rejected coldly, “We can always come back next time.”

With that, he left no room for Roxanne to object and went upstairs to help the children to pack their belongings.
