Chapter 576
Hearing Archie''s words, Lucian’s face instantly darkened.
"Where is she? Take us there!" Archie instantly ran toward the beach.
With Este in his arms, Lucian followed in long strides behind the boy.
Roxanne was still worried about Archie, who had run off alone.
After a while, she gently said to Benny, "Help me up, Benny.Let''s go look for Archie."
However, thetter shook his head without hesitation.
"You''re hurt, Mommy.You can''t move.Archie will bring someone over soon."
Roxanne’s eyebrows furrowed slightly at Benny''s reaction.
"I''m worried for Archie.Although I know that both of you are more than capable to take care of
yourselves, I''ll still be worried," she patiently tried to convince him.
Listening to his mother''s words, Benny seemed to hesitate.He did not want Roxanne''s injury to worsen,
but he also did not want her to worry for them.
Just as Benny was contemting listening to his mother and helping her up, Archie''s voice could be
heard from afar.
"Mommy! Mommy! I''ve brought someone!" he shouted as he breathed heavily.
Roxanne immediately heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Archie.
Thank goodness he did not get lost, and he actually brought someone over to help.
"I''m sorry for bothering you.My kids are worried because I''ve been lightly injured,"
Roxanne quickly apologized politely even though she could not clearly see who had arrived.The words
had barely left her mouth when she heard Este''s voice.
"Ms.Jarvis..."
She sounded as though she was on the verge of crying.
Roxanne was instantly stunned as a ridiculous thought shed across her mind.But the very next
second, Este''s tiny figure appeared within her line of vision.
Roxanne subconsciously looked behind Este.
Under the moonlight, all she could see was Lucian''s tall figure walking over in big strides.Her words got
caught in her throat as she stared at the man walking over.She did not know how to react at that
moment.Her previous attempts on avoiding Lucian must have been noticed by him as well.
However, in just a sudden turn of events, she found herself relying on him once again.
Mixed feelings rose within her heart.
Both Archie and Este quickly ran over to her.
Este looked at Roxanne with worry evident in her eyes.

Her gaze thennded on Roxanne''s foot.
"Ms.Jarvis, is your leg hurt?" she asked in a soft voice.
As she spoke, Este crouched down and carefully touched the skin surrounding the wound.
When she looked back at Roxanne, Este’s eyes had reddened, and there were tears welling up in
them.
Roxanne rushed tofort the young girl, "I''m fine.I stepped on a shell and it cut my skin.I''ll just have
to bandage the wound, and it will heal quickly in just two days.Don''t be afraid, Essie."
Este bit her lip while her face was filled with worry.
She looked up at her father and said, "Daddy, Ms.Jarvis’ foot..."
Lucian had already walked over to them and had noticed the wound on Roxanne''s leg.He remained
quiet all the while.It was until Este called out to him that he stopped staring at Roxanne''’s injured
foot.He looked over at the woman, who was still sitting on the sand.
Roxanne, too, subconsciously looked at the man next to her.
As their eyes met, Roxanne blinked and quickly averted her eyes.
Instead, she smiled nonchntly and said, "The wound isn''t too deep.I''m sorry for troubling you.The
kids were too anxious and went to look for you.I''m actually all right on my own."
As she spoke, she turned to look at the twins next to her.
"Archie, Benny, help me up," she said in a slightly serious tone.
Both Archie and Benny already noticed that their mother was trying to avoid Lucian, but they were
more worried that her injury might get worse.
Upon hearing Roxanne’s instructions, they looked at each other hesitantly.
Even after a short pause, the boys remained standing still.
