Chapter 1706

Sick For A While

Lucian glanced at the passenger seat and was met with Archie's wide-awake eyes.

Shocked, Lucian questioned, “You're still awake?”

I thought all of them had fallen asleep.

Archie's eyes were red and puffy too. Yet, he still kept a solemn look on his face.

“Daddy, Mommy has been sick for many days already, right?”

Lucian's expression grew tense at his question. He wasn't sure if he should tell his son the truth.

Archie is the most mature of the three. Explaining the situation to Archie first is the best option if I want
to tell them the truth. They were still crying until a while ago, though. I don't think it's the right time to tell
them yet.

After a few minutes of silence, Lucian decided to keep it from them. “No, that's not it. Don't think too
much. Your mother just got a cold and a fever. She'll be better soon.”

The second he finished, Archie immediately asked, “But Mommy never went on such a long business
trip before.”

Lucian's expression didn't falter as he said, “That was because she was worried no one would take
care of you, your brother, and your sister if she was gone for too long. Now that you have me, she can
put her heart in her stomach.”

Lucian glanced at the passenger seat and was met with Archie's wide-awake eyes.

A mask of concentration overtook Archie's face at Lucian's answer.



He's right. Mommy wouldn't go on long business trips before because she knew we would be waiting
for her at home. Now that we're living with Daddy, Mommy can be more at ease. But... I still feel
something doesn't add up.

Lucian gazed ahead as he drove but occasionally would shoot glances to check on the kids in the
backseat. He was fighting in his mind about whether to tell them the truth.

Suddenly, Archie's voice broke the silence. He muttered with a frown, “Our hearts felt heavy the last
time Mommy fainted. It's the same this time.”

We shouldn't have that feeling if Mommy only has a cold and fever. Besides, we felt it a few days ago.
I'm sure Mommy's condition is not just a simple fever.

However, he noted his father's avoidance of telling him the truth, so being the thoughtful child that he
was, he didn't continue hounding his father about it. “No matter what's wrong with Mommy. I trust that
you'll take good care of her as long as you're there. We have faith in you, Daddy.”

His words were a copy of what Benny said earlier.

When Mommy was sick before, Mommy always got better in the end under Daddy's care. I trust that
this time will not be any different.

Lucian couldn't get a word out of his mouth at Archie's absolute trust.

Archie didn't mind Lucian's silence. Instead, he said, “Daddy, all you have to focus on is caring for
Mommy. Leave Benny and Essie to me! I'll watch over them! You can't let anything happen to Mommy,
okay?”

Archie's voice cracked at the end.



Lucian glimpsed at the rearview mirror again and saw the unshed tear in the corner of his eyes. His
heart clenched again.

“Got it. I won't let anything happen to your mother. I'll protect her even if I have to give up my life.”

Archie shook his head fervently. “No! I want both Daddy and Mommy to be safe and sound! We want
Mommy to come back, but Daddy, you can't leave us too!”

His words moved Lucian's heart. Lucian comforted, “All right. I'll come back with your mother. Don't be
scared.”

Archie finally nodded as he cried.

Lucian sent them back to the Manor. When the children woke up, they were still feeling a bit down.

As he was worried about them, he watched them wash up and return to their rooms before leaving the
house.
