Chapter 1985 Slow Down

The sky wos drizzling outside the prison eorly in the morning.

Roxonne ond Lucion woited quietly in their Rolls-Royce until the lorge iron gote slowly opened.

Colby, still weoring his prison uniform, listened to the middle-oged prison worden's odvice. “Be o good

person ofter you leove this ploce, ond don't moke ony more mistokes.”

He nodded, curling the corner of his lips into o relieved smile. “I will, Mr. Zogomi. When I find o new job

ond eorn money, I will definitely come bock to visit you. Thonk you for olwoys helping me.”

“You're most welcome. You don't need to come bock here onymore. It's bod luck! Just get on with your

life. Go on,” soid the middle-oged prison worden with o foint smile.

Colby ossumed no one would be there to pick him up, so he didn't poy ony ottention to the Rolls-Royce

porked outside either.

An ostonished expression spreod ocross his foce when he noticed Lucion showing up while holding

Roxonne's hond to help her get out of the vehicle.

“Colby, you're finolly out.” Lucion grinned slightly.

Initiolly, they thought they would hove to woit o few more months before Colby wos releosed.

Unexpectedly, the lotter's sentence wos reduced becouse of his good behovior in joil.

The expression in Roxonne's eyes wos colm ond gentle. Hoving olreody forgotten post grievonces, she

nodded ot Colby. “Hello, Mr. Gollowoy. Welcome bock!”

Colby wos utterly ostounded, for he hod never expected the couple to pick him up, let olone thot

Roxonne would give him o chonce to return to the reseorch institute.

The sky was drizzling outside the prison early in the morning.

Roxanne and Lucian waited quietly in their Rolls-Royce until the large iron gate slowly opened.

Colby, still wearing his prison uniform, listened to the middle-aged prison warden's advice. “Be a good

person after you leave this place, and don't make any more mistakes.”

He nodded, curling the corner of his lips into a relieved smile. “I will, Mr. Zagami. When I find a new job

and earn money, I will definitely come back to visit you. Thank you for always helping me.”

“You're most welcome. You don't need to come back here anymore. It's bad luck! Just get on with your

life. Go on,” said the middle-aged prison warden with a faint smile.

Colby assumed no one would be there to pick him up, so he didn't pay any attention to the Rolls-Royce

parked outside either.

An astonished expression spread across his face when he noticed Lucian showing up while holding

Roxanne's hand to help her get out of the vehicle.

“Colby, you're finally out.” Lucian grinned slightly.

Initially, they thought they would have to wait a few more months before Colby was released.

Unexpectedly, the latter's sentence was reduced because of his good behavior in jail.

The expression in Roxanne's eyes was calm and gentle. Having already forgotten past grievances, she

nodded at Colby. “Hello, Mr. Galloway. Welcome back!”

Colby was utterly astounded, for he had never expected the couple to pick him up, let alone that

Roxanne would give him a chance to return to the research institute.

On the way, emotions churned within Colby as he watched the rapidly passing scenery outside the

window.

Lucian had originally planned a lavish lunch to celebrate Colby's liberation.

However, Colby politely declined. “I've been eating plain and bland meals in prison, so it's not suitable

for me to suddenly consume a sumptuous meal after coming out. That can easily cause indigestion and

pancreatitis, which can be life-threatening.”

Roxanne nodded in agreement, while Lucian smiled and didn't insist.

“Thank you for picking me up. I'll report to the research institute tomorrow. Please send me to this

address as I need to deliver a message for someone in the prison,” Colby piped up.

Lucian and Roxanne agreed. They also reminded him to change into a different outfit as soon as

possible. After all, walking around the streets dressed in prison uniform would attract too much

attention.

After sending Colby off, the couple returned to their car.

“He really missed out, but since I've already booked the restaurant, let's have our meal there

ourselves.” Lucian's suggestion immediately received Roxanne's affirmation and support. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Lucian and Roxanne finally decided to pick up the three kids at the entrance of the art academy after

strolling around for an entire afternoon.

Amidst the bustling crowd after school, Archie and Benny held Estella's hands on either side, ensuring

their sister's safety as they exited the school.

The three children were thrilled because their parents would pick them up from school that day.

Upon spotting their parents from a distance away, they immediately quickened their pace.

“Slow down. Don't run,” Roxanne hurriedly reminded them, as there were too many people around

them.

Lucian, on the other hand, moved swiftly and ran toward the children's location.

Just as he was about to reach them, several children suddenly emerged from beside Archie and

Benny.

The kids had a clear target. As they approached, they reached out to push Archie and Benny, causing

them to lose their balance and fall heavily to the ground.

Before falling, Archie and Benny let go of their sister's hand at the same time to prevent her from

toppling over as well.

The boys grimaced in pain after hitting the ground. Their knees scraped against the cement floor, and

blood came oozing out from the graze wound.

“Archie, Benny!” Estella cried out in fear.

Instantaneously, Lucian's pupils constricted, and his eyes gleamed with malicious coldness. He

quickened his pace and strode over to his sons' side.

Subsequently, he trained his eyes on the few children who were trying to escape at once.

Colors drained from Roxanne's face as she was frightened by the scene unfolding before her. She

hastily jogged toward her children as well.
