His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 717

Chapter 717 Not As Terrified As Before

Roxanne had no idea what Estella whispered next to Lucian’s ear. All she knew was that the man looked at her meaningfully after Estella had spoken to him before denying in a low voice, “No.”No sooner had he said that than they both swung their gazes at her. Lucian wore a bizarrely innocent expression, while suspicion was written all over Estella’s face.

The question Estella asked her when they were in the backyard earlier flashed across Roxanne’s mind. Complemented by their expressions, she felt that she could surmise the situation to a tee.

At the thought of Estella’s determination to avenge her, Roxanne was both amused and exasperated. After a few seconds of silence, she stepped forward and started, “Essie is exceedingly worried about you, so I’d best take a look at you. Besides, it’s a problem if you keep having insomnia.”

In other words, she was trying to tell him that she only decided to treat him for Estella’s sake.

When Lucian heard that, he quirked an eyebrow and glanced at his daughter beside him.

Estella nodded emphatically with triumph etched across her features.

Clocking that, Lucian chuckled lightly and held his wrist out to Roxanne.

Roxanne lifted her hand and grasped his wrist. While diagnosing his condition, however, she couldn’t quite ignore the warmth emanating from his wrist.

It should have only taken a minute or two at most, but it took quite a while because she kept getting distracted.

“Never mind if you really can’t determine the cause. Perhaps I’ve been too busy with work these days. I’ll be fine after resting for a few days,” Lucian drawled insouciantly upon seeing that she couldn’t diagnose his condition after some time had passed.

Roxanne happened to find the cause at that instant. Dropping her fingers from his wrist, she stated placidly, “Your liver is a bit inflamed, probably because of overwork. Take some medicine to reduce the inflammation. Alternatively, it’ll also heal by itself after you rest for a few days.”

Lucian inclined his head in acknowledgment.
