His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne)

Chapter 194

Chapter 194 After breakfast. Roxanne thought that the time was still early, so she could possibly make

it to the research institute in time.“My fever has subsided. Lysa, could you please arrange for my

discharge? I need to get some work done.”Her work progress at the research institute had been

impacted due to the surgery she did for LarryTherefore, Roxanne did not want to create a backlog of

work and fall behind even further. Lysa hesitated. “Ms. Jarvis, I think you should stay and observe your

condition for one more day. I know how swamped with work you‘ve been recently. You didn‘t fall sick

yesterday for no apparent reason. It‘s because of fatigue! Now that your temperature is kept at bay, you

can‘t wait to bury yourself in work again. I‘m really afraid that your body can‘t cope with it and will

collapse for the second time.”Though Lysa had not been serving Roxanne for a long time, she had

witnessed enough of how the latter overworked herself day in and day out.One would easily assume

that Roxanne had superpowers if she had not fallen ill yesterday. She never once grumbled that she

was tired nor complained about her hectic routine of juggling a career and raising her children. IThe

more time Lysa spent with the family, the more she felt sorry for the single mother of two.She treated

Roxanne like her own daughter, and it broke her heart to see the younger woman fall sick.“It‘s okay. I‘m

used to it already. Moreover, yesterday was just a little accident.” Roxanne removed the blanket and From NôvelDrama.Org.

insisted on getting off the bed.The expression of the man standing not too far away from her turned

grim when he heard that.He recalled the contents of her amazing resume. How did she attain all those

achievements within six short years? What kind of life did she lead when she was abroad? What has

she gone through to get to where she is today?Lysa was still very concerned. She had not been

present when the doctor gave his diagnosis, so she was clueless about Roxanne‘s actual

condition. While Lysa was still debating what to do, Roxanne had already gotten up from the bed.

Fretting, the former hurriedly turned to Lucian and gave him a pleading look, hoping that he would offer

some help in persuading Roxanne to stay.Somehow, she just felt that Roxanne would listen to

him.Lucian‘s frown became more pronounced as he strode toward the bed and stared at the stubborn

woman. “The doctor said that you must go through a check–up before he will approve your

discharge.”With that said, he glanced at Lysa and instructed, “Please get the doctor here.”Finally, Lysa

heaved a sigh of relief and did as he had requested.Roxanne‘s brow snapped together disapprovingly.

“This is really unnecessary. I know myself, and I know my body well.”As a doctor, she was well aware

of her own body‘s condition.It was just a fever. I have recovered, and I can definitely be

discharged.Lucian retorted, “If you did, why would you have collapsed at home and gotten so weak that

you couldn‘t even get down from your bed?”Roxanne was rendered speechless at his comeback.Upon

hearing Lucian‘s words, Archie and Benny chimed in, “Mommy, let‘s get the doctor to perform a check–

up thoroughly.”Roxanne could not bear to see her boys getting all anxious because of her. At last, she

swallowed her rejection and obliged.Soon, Lysa returned to the ward with the doctor.After a series of

examinations, the doctor scanned the group and located the man who had admitted Roxanne to the

hospital. “There appears to be nothing wrong with her, so the patient can be discharged. However, she

must pay attention to her health and get sufficient rest from now on. Remember, health is

wealth.”Lucian nodded. Then, he cast a look at Roxanne.After meeting his gaze, Roxanne felt

somewhat guilty and lowered her eyes. “Thanks, doctor. I‘ll take note of this,” she muttered.With that,

the doctor listed a few other usual reminders and left the room.Upon confirming that all was well with

Roxanne, Lysa was put at ease and went ahead to settle the discharge procedures.
