His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne)

Chapter 2007 I Dreamed Of My Mom

"Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Farwell. I deeply regret that I have been an irresponsible father and have caused Roxanne irreparable harm. However, you have taken on the role of parents to her and have been loving and caring toward her. I sincerely hope that you will continue to look after her."

After the visit, Grant's parting words left a lasting impact on Elias and Sonya.

Sonya had mixed feelings, for she didn't think she deserved to be called Roxanne's mother as Grant had claimed.

She had been guilty of numerous mistakes in the past and was merely attempting to atone for them.

Fortunately, she still had the opportunity to do so, unlike Grant, who only realized his misdeeds when he was on the brink of death.

The children also went to Grant's room to visit him.

The adults did not inform the children of the true severity of Grant's illness, instead opting to tell them that he was simply ill. As a result, the children assumed he was simply suffering from a minor ailment like a cold orfever.

Hence, they encouraged Grant by telling him to rest well and drink a lot of water for a quick recovery.

Grant was overcome with emotion, his eyes misting with a combination of regret and yearning. Despite that, he had a sense of contentment.

That very night, Lucian and Roxanne hired an ambulance to bring him to the Jarvis residence.

Madilyn gave the house to Roxanne as a wedding present when she married Lucian. Roxanne was hesitant to go back to the house where she used to live with her mother, for fear that the memories they shared would haunt her.

Many years had passed since she last walked through that door. As she stepped inside, a wave of nostalgia washed over her, reminding her of the childhood and teenage days she spent here. The house was clean as Roxanne had hired a team of professional cleaners to thoroughly clean it earlier.

After Grant was brought into the old house, his expression suddenly turned calm.

"Lucian, Roxanne, thank you so much. I'm blessed to be able to spend my remaining days here."

"Dad, don't worry. I'll hire two helpers to take care of you. You must remember to take your medicine regularly. Roxanne and I will make sure to come and see you regularly," Lucian promised. Grant was surprised to hear Lucian calling him "dad" all of a sudden.

Roxanne bobbed her head in agreement and left the house hastily with Lucian.

She couldn't stay inside the house for too long as it reminded her of her mother.

Being sad would not be good for the child growing in her belly, so Roxanne knew she couldn't let herself wallow in sorrow.

The following day was a sunny day.

Roxanne was smiling when she woke up.

Seeing that, Lucian asked, "Did you dream of something good?"

"I dreamed about my mom. She told me that I did a good job, and that Grant got on his knees to beg for her forgiveness," Roxanne revealed.

Upon hearing this, Lucian let out a chuckle. "Yes, you did a great job. There's no need to worry about that anymore. What matters now is that our family will have a good life from now on." Roxanne nodded in agreement. She then curled into a ball and buried herself in his warm embrace.

Lucian wrapped his arms around her tightly and kissed her forehead gently.

The sound of the children washing up and chatting could be heard in the background. Elias and Sonya were reminding them to grab their books and other belongings.

They basked in the calm and peaceful atmosphere, feeling utterly contented.

"I'm going to the hospital for a checkup today. You should come with me." Roxanne's voice was soft.

Lucian immediately bobbed his head. His lips curled as he assured her, "Of course. Even if your checkup isn't due today, I'll still have to attend my classes. I'm going to graduate soon." "Really? Why didn't you show me anything? What did you learn?" Roxanne joked.

"I learned a lot. Didn't I remind you to take folic acid previously? And also..."
