His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 1793

Chapter 1793 Can You Afford The Compensation

After getting ashore, Lucian and Roxanne hurried to Estella to check on her condition.

Estella had sipped some water and gradually began to calm down. “Daddy, Mommy, I'm fine! When I fell into the pool, the baby dolphin also jumped in after me. I saw that. I'm sure it was trying to save me!”

Lucian and Roxanne could barely hide their surprise to hear that. She's practically friends with that baby dolphin!

Due to the urgency of the situation, they hadn't seen that with their own eyes. They also knew they couldn't rely on others to save their daughter.

“Did you choke and swallow the pool water?” Roxanne asked.

Estella furrowed her brows before nodding. “I think I drank two mouthfuls of the water. I feel a bit uncomfortable. Will I have a tummy ache later?”

Roxanne gave her head a reassuring pat. “No, of course not. I'm a doctor, so trust me. You'll just have to take a few pills to kill the bacteria, that's all.”

Archie and Benny hung their heads, ready to be reprimanded for their actions.

“Daddy, Mommy, we're sorry for failing to protect Essie!”

Lucian got to his knees and hugged them. “No, that wasn't your fault. It was a sudden situation, and you did a good job pinning that boy down. Had you not been able to do that, he would've pushed you both, too. If that were to happen, we wouldn't be able to save you all.”

Roxanne felt bad for them and quickly comforted them, “That's right. Archie, Benny, you did nothing wrong. Even if you jumped into the water, you wouldn't be able to save Essie. Saving her is our responsibility as adults. We won't blame you for this.”

The keepers and visitors gathered to inquire about their well-being.

Lucian and Roxanne felt a surge of anger when they recalled who the culprit was.

“Where is the plump kid?” Roxanne demanded. It was the first time in her life that she had ever despised a child this much.
