Chapter 770 I Will Not Be Infected

At the sight of Lucian’s condition, Roxanne couldn’t help frowning. Conversely, Estella merely heard that her

condition was contagious but didn’t see the red spots on Lucian’s body. She shrunk to the side pitifully, refusing to

allow the two adults to touch her further.

Gathering her wits about her, Roxanne dipped her eyes. When she saw Estella curled up in a ball, her heart

clenched painfully. “Come over here, Essie. Let me have a look at you.”

Estella shook her head, replying timidly, “No, it’s okay. I’ll infect you, Ms. Jarvis.”

Her words had Roxanne’s eyes stinging. Smiling, she coaxed, “I’m not afraid. I’ve treated patients with similar

conditions in the past and have suffered from this condition previously. Therefore, I won’t be infected anymore.”

Even Lucian was momentarily stupefied to hear that, mistakenly assuming that she was speaking the truth.

Estella scrutinized Roxanne suspiciously for a long time. Only when she had ascertained that the latter didn’t seem

to be lying, and she was indeed feeling so awful that she couldn’t put up with it any longer did she slowly inch over

to Roxanne and stretch her hand out.

Roxanne stroked her head to comfort her before reaching out and taking her wrist to diagnose her condition.

At the side, Lucian stared at the woman in front of him with a dark look in his eyes.

Her expression when she spoke earlier had me duped as well. But on second thought, she hadn’t even checked

Essie over. So, how could she have known whether her condition was contagious? Thus, her words earlier were only

meant to console Essie.

By the time realization dawned upon him, Roxanne had already started taking Estella’s pulse. There was no point in

him saying anything then. A strange feeling welled within him.

She has no idea of her relationship with Essie, yet she’s willing to take such a colossal risk to diagnose and treat

her…

For a moment, he even regretted bringing Estella over.

I should’ve brought Essie to the hospital. At the very least, I could have prevented Roxanne from being infected.

While Roxanne was checking Estella over, Archie and Benny trotted in curiously.

Earlier, they vaguely heard some noise outside, so they got up to have a look. To their sheer surprise, they spotted

Lucian’s car in the courtyard.

They initially thought that he came alone, so they wanted to come over and sneak a look to ascertain whether the

two adults were having a row again.

Unexpectedly, no sooner had they reached Roxanne’s bedroom door than they caught sight of Estella sitting on

Roxanne’s bed pitifully with red spots dotting her exposed wrist and neck. She appeared as though she was gravely

ill.

Seeing that, they both wore worried expressions on their faces. They hastily sprinted over to the bed to have a look

at Estella.

In the room, both adults were preoccupied with their respective thoughts. Estella, on the other hand, was itching

badly. No one noticed Archie and Benny’s approach.

Lucian was the first to notice them.

When he saw them dashing in without warning, his brows abruptly knitted together, and he warned in a deep voice,

“Don’t come in.”

Regretfully, it was already too late. Archie and Benny gingerly touched Estella’s neck with worry written all over

their faces. “What’s wrong with Essie, Mommy?”

It wasn’t until Roxanne heard their voices that she jolted back to reality and shifted her gaze away from Estella’s

wrist.

The instant she laid eyes on their outstretched hands, her pupils constricted.

Withdrawing their hands, Archie and Benny looked at each other in bemusement.

“How itchy!” Benny lowered his head and glanced at his wrist, only to see red spots similar to the ones on Estella’s

neck dotting his wrist.
