Chapter 941 Felt Like Food Poisoning
Fortunately, Lucian had packed some professional camping equipment for Estella before the camping trip.
Initially, Roxanne had thought that they wouldn’t need any of those items. Who knew that those would turn out to
be exactly what she needed to save the children’s lives?
After she found the small pot that Lucian had specially prepared for Estella, Roxanne emerged from the tent.
Without further ado, the woman poured some water into the pot and threw in the herbs and two leaves before
starting to boil the mixture.
While waiting for the medicine concoction to be ready, Roxanne got up and carried Benny and Estella into the tent.
Overwhelmed by pain, the children had a blank look in their eyes, and their foreheads were covered in sweat.
Roxanne covered the two little ones with some clothes before stroking their heads and saying, “Just bear with it a
little more. You will feel better soon.”
Benny and Estella gave a slight nod but were too weak to speak.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter settling the kids, Roxanne stood up and walked out of the tent.
Right after she stepped outside, she felt her stomach churning.
She had taken a sip of Archie’s water earlier.
As it was just one sip, the pain in her stomach was still bearable.
Ignoring her discomfort, Roxanne went to check on the traditional medicine concoction that she was preparing.
Archie was watching the fire to ensure that the mixture was boiling properly.
When the boy saw his mother approaching, he asked in concern, “Mommy, will Benny and Essie get well after
drinking this?”
An inexplicable glint flashed across Roxanne’s eyes before she shook her head dejectedly and replied, “No. It will
just help to lessen their pain.”
More medicinal herbs were required for the kids to make a full recovery, and some of them had to be retrieved
from the research institute.
Given Benny and Essie’s current condition, they would not be able to tolerate the pain until they made it back to the
research institute and waited for Roxanne to finish preparing the traditional medicine concoction.
When Archie heard that, his face dropped in disappointment.
“How are they feeling now?” He collected himself and continued asking.
Roxanne’s gaze softened when she saw how concerned the boy was for the other two. She moved forward to sit
down beside him.
Archie shifted aside to give his mother some space to sit.
Roxanne patted her son’s head and said, “You keep asking about Benny and Essie, but what about yourself? You
drank that water too. How are you feeling?”
Even though Archie had less severe symptoms, Roxanne was still worried.
After giving it some serious thought, the boy replied, “My stomach is aching a little, and I feel a little sick, but it just
feels like a normal stomachache from food poisoning.”
It was similar to what Roxanne was feeling.
The woman heaved a sigh of relief. “You should also have some medicine when it’s ready.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmArchie nodded obediently.
Meanwhile, Benny and Estella’s agonized cries from the tent could be heard intermittently.
Roxanne could feel her chest tightening. There was nothing she could do other than hope that the medicine
concoction would be ready soon.
When she checked on the medicine concoction half an hour later, she noticed that it was not fully ready yet. If it
was taken then, the medicine might not work to its full effect.
However, the little ones could not wait any longer.
Roxanne took out four disposable cups and scooped some medicine for herself and the three children.
Archie took one cup and drank it. Roxanne finished hers as well before bringing the remaining two cups to Benny
and Estella.
The two little ones were hurting so much that they were curled up into a ball. When they noticed the woman
entering the tent, they glanced at her weakly.
They were like two injured little animals, and one could not help but feel sorry for them.
Roxanne rushed to the kids’ sides and took Estella into her arms first without hesitation.
Besides the fact that she was a girl, Estella had drunk the most water. As such, she was in more pain compared to
Benny.
