Chapter 959 Spend The Night Outside

At the side, Estella had her head lifted and gazed at Roxanne, looking hopeful.

Roxanne’s gaze flickered. Only after obtaining Lucian’s promise did she forcibly suppress the worry within her.

“Got it. I’ll take good care of Essie for the next few days.”

Lucian indifferently inclined his head a fraction in acknowledgment. Shortly after, he took his leave and left.

Roxanne watched as his car disappeared into the distance before bringing Archie, Benny, and Estella into the

mansion.

All three children were already starving to the point that their stomachs growled incessantly.

Without tarrying, Roxanne prepared some quick and easy breakfast to fill their stomachs first.

After having breakfast, she had the children play by themselves while she stood up and went into the study.

She simply couldn’t sit back and do nothing about the person who used the bacteria on the children.

Worse still, Lucian left Estella at her place. Hence, she wanted to catch the culprit as soon as possible to eliminate

the potential dangers around the children.

As far as she knew, not every research institute was capable of manufacturing that bacteria.

In the whole of Horington, only a handful of research institutes possessed that capability.

Therefore, she only needed to focus on investigating those few research institutes.

At that thought, she made calls to the researchers she was acquainted with to inquire about the amount of that

bacteria their research institutes had developed recently and their uses. Throughout it all, she researched some

information on the internet.

She made several calls in a row, but all the answers she received matched.

That was to say, their bacteria hadn’t been taken out of the research institute.

Roxanne’s gaze fell on the remaining few research institutes.

She hadn’t any acquaintances in those few research institutes, so it would take her some effort to investigate them.

While she was contemplating how she should do that, the doorbell suddenly rang downstairs.

With her thoughts interrupted, she could only get to her feet and go downstairs to open the door.

Madilyn stood at the door, looking haggard. When Roxanne opened the door, she promptly put away the weariness

on her face. With a frown marring her countenance, she scrutinized Roxanne and the children.

“Aunt Madilyn!” Archie and Benny hadn’t seen her in a long time. Now that she was visiting, they swiftly threw

themselves at her affectionately.

Gathering them into her embrace without batting an eyelash, Madilyn checked them over carefully.

It wasn’t until she had ascertained that they were fine that she finally relaxed.

“Why did you come over out of the blue?” Roxanne inquired in puzzlement.

If I remember correctly, she worked overtime yesterday. She should be catching up on sleep at this hour.

Madilyn straightened to her full height. “You know why. Your call yesterday was abrupt, and you didn’t come home

for the entire night. I was worried that something had happened to you and the boys, resulting in a fitful sleep all

night.”

When she had finished working overtime yesterday, she specially came over to look in on them.

However, Roxanne and the boys were still not home though it was already past nine o’clock at night.

Mulling over it, she simply couldn’t shake off the anxiety within her.

She tried calling Roxanne, but the latter didn’t pick up.

Unfortunately, she had no idea where they had gone camping either.

Consequently, she was so worried that she almost hadn’t slept the whole night. Only when the sky started

brightening did she barely catch two or three hours of sleep.

As soon as she woke up, she came over to check on the situation again.



Fortunately, someone opened the door this time.

From the look of things, Roxanne and the children hadn’t suffered any injuries.

Clocking her best friend’s sheer worry, Roxanne wore an apologetic expression. “My phone ran out of battery last

night and automatically shut down.”

At that, Madilyn sighed in exasperation. “What is important is that you’re all fine.”

After saying that, she eyed Roxanne dubiously. “Speaking of that, why did you suddenly spend the night outside?

Didn’t you say it was a one-day trip, so you’d be back in the evening?”
