    Chapter 1216


    When Este opened her eyes and saw Archie and Benny, a blush crept onto her face.


    Archie held Este’s hand in constion as he articted his question, “Did you dream about Mommy?


    What did you dream about?”


    The girl lowered her gaze. “I… I dreamed about Ms. Jarvis.”


    A confused look appeared on the boys’ faces when they heard that. “But you were calling out for your


    mommy.”


    Este timidly looked at them in silence.


    She did not know why, but ever since she came to know Roxanne, the mother in her dreams started


    looking like Roxanne.


    Moreover, the dreams about her mother became sweet dreams.


    The only exception was when Roxanne was sick.


    This time, she dreamed about the unconscious Roxanne again.


    In her dream, no matter what she said, Roxanne’s eyes remained closed. That terrified her.


    As for Archie and Benny, although they did not hear any reply from Este, they could guess what was


    on her mind by studying her expression.


    “Essie, you see our mommy as your mommy, too, is that right?” Benny asked.


    Este nodded in hesitance. She then carefully asked, “Archie, Benny, you won’t be mad, right?”


    Both boys exchanged a bewildered look with each other. “Why would we be mad?”


    “Because… I’ll be stealing your mommy from you,” Este muttered, choking out thest few words as if


    she was about to burst into tears.


    Archie and Benny were bbergasted.


    They never knew that was what Este thought.


    Squeezing Este’s hand, Archie said, “We’re not mad at all. If we do get mad, wouldn’t you be mad too


    for trying to steal your daddy from you?”


    Este pursed her lips and anxiously shook her head.


    She desperately wanted to be a family with Archie and Benny, so how could she be angry with


    them?


    Archie then took a piece of tissue and wiped Este’s tears away. “If you’re not mad, then we’re not mad


    too!”


    Benny then said, “How about this? We’ll call them Daddy and Mommy when we’re alone. We won’t call


    them Mr. Farwell or Ms. Jarvis anymore. They’re our Daddy and Mommy.”


    Archie and Este immediately nodded in agreement to that.


    Even though there were still tears on her face, Este had a wide smile.


    She looked funny, and the boys could not help butugh heartily at her.


    Lucian naturally had no idea what was happening in the ward next door, let alone about how the three


    children had sneakily promised to be a family.


    “Thirsty…”


    Roxanne had been unconscious for a whole day. Even though she had been injected with sedatives, she


    could not sleep for long. Furthermore, the children had been talking earlier, so Roxanne slowly returned


    to the waking world.


    Lucian had a tiring day, and he was about to nod off. But the second he heard her voice, he woke with a


    start and filled a ss of water for her.


    Just as Roxanne was about to sit upright to get the ss, Lucian brought the ss to her lips and shifted


    her to be in his arms.


    Roxanne was groggy from her sleep, and she instinctively felt safe in his arms. Hence, she drank the


    water with his help before reaching up to push the ss away.


    Lucian ced the ss at the side before helping Roxanne lie down on the bed again.

    Shortly after, Roxanne was asleep again.


    Fearing that she would wake once more, Lucian reached out to grab her exposed hand after a moment


    of hesitance before closing his eyes to nap.
