    Chapter 577


    The atmosphere turned awkward.


    Noticing that her children weren''t making a move, Roxanne fell into a dilemma.She thought that Lucian


    had already returned to the hotel with Este.


    Therefore, even though Archie ran off to find help, Roxanne had assumed that he would bring a


    stranger back.She did not expect for him to drag Lucian back here.


    Roxanne was trying to act tough in front of them, but Archie and Benny weren''t allowing her to do that.


    In the end, they did not make a move to help her at all.


    No one made a move for a while.


    Roxanne gritted her teeth and ced a hand on the ground in order to push herself up.


    Lucian seemed to have noticed what she was about to do for a look of displeasure shed across his


    eyes.


    Roxanne’s movements froze.


    In the next moment, Lucian made a move.


    Under Roxanne’s gaze, he walked over to her and bent over to take hold of her ankle.She instinctively


    tried to avoid his touch, but she was too slow.


    Lucian had seized hold of her ankle and raised it up.


    Feeling his fingers brush across her wound, Roxanne reflexively tried to pull her leg back, and Lucian


    also let go of her ankle at the same time.


    Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Lucian stood back up and walked over to her side.He


    seemed to have noticed something for his brows furrowed.


    In a fluid motion, he took off his coat.


    Roxanne frowned at the sight.


    "Thank you for your kindness, Mr.Farwell, but I''m not cold."


    However, Lucian ignored her protests and sternly ced his coat over her shoulders."You''re hurt,


    Ms.Jarvis.


    The children are already so worried, and if you catch a cold, Essie might start crying again."


    Upon hearing that, Roxanne''s lips quivered, but she could not say anything to turn him down.


    Lucian suddenly moved to shorten the distance between them.


    Roxanne could clearly feel hisrge hand pressing onto her waist.He then swiftly carried her up.


    She instinctively grabbed onto Lucian’s shirt in order to bnce herself.


    "I can walk just fine.You just need to support me,"


    Roxanne said adamantly after recovering from her initial shock.

    Then, she struggled to get down.


    The children were all looking at them.She shouldn''t be so intimate with Lucian.


    However, Lucian refused to let that happen.


    All Roxanne felt was his hand tightening on her waist.


    "You''re a doctor, Ms.Jarvis.Aren''t you afraid that your wound would get infected if ites into contact


    with dust and seawater?" His low voice rang next to her ears.


    Before Roxanne could even react, the children started to panic.


    "Mommy, your feet shouldn''t touch the ground!"


    "Ms.Jarvis..."


    Este’s voice was full of concern.


    Roxanne hesitated upon realizing that the kids were too worried about her to notice the intimate actions


    between her and Lucian.She then decided to keep quiet and obedientlyy in Lucian’s arms.


    Since Lucian had given her his coat, all he was wearing underneath was a thin shirt.


    In order to stabilize herself, Roxanne ced a hand on Lucian''s chest.She could clearly feel the


    warmth radiating from him.


    Maybe it was just her imagination, but that heat seemed to have warmed her up as well.


    Even her face started to re up.


    Lucian basically carried her across the beach.


    Roxanne, however, could feel everyone staring on her.


    There were even some people gossiping about them.


    They were all discussing the couple who were publicly disying their affection.


    Noticing themotion around her, Roxanne buried her head against Lucian’s chest, trying her


    absolute best to hide to avoid everyone''s gaze.
