His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 767

Chapter 767 She Had Never Suffered Like That

Roxanne had just fallen into a deep sleep when she was suddenly awakened by her phone ringing. Groggily, she felt for her phone on the bedside table and answered the call. “Who’s this?”

Lucian furrowed his brows slightly, then said in a deep voice, “It’s me.” Hearing his voice gave her a jolt, and her mind suddenly felt much more awake. “What’s the matter?”

He looked down at the girl in his arms. Estella was sobbing while attempting to lower her head and look at herself.

Lucian tightened his arms around her, then explained everything to Roxanne. “There are suddenly a lot of red spots on Essie’s body, and they itch a lot. I just woke her up. If it’s convenient for you, I’ll bring her over for you to check on her.”

As soon as Roxanne learned that Estella was unwell, the last vestiges of sleepiness vanished. Getting dressed while climbing out of bed, she said, “Sure. I’ll wait here for you.”

After murmuring a reply, he hung up and patted Estella’s head. “There’s a good girl. We’ll go and let Ms. Jarvis take a look at you, and everything will be fine,” he said in a reassuring tone.

Despite her condition, Estella nodded obediently upon hearing that she would be able to see Roxanne soon. She leaned against Lucian’s shoulder weakly and said pleadingly, “Daddy, it itches so bad.”

It worried Lucian terribly to see her so unwell. Alas, the only thing he could do was free a hand and lightly scratch at her skin through her clothes with the tips of his fingers to relieve her discomfort.

He carried her all the way downstairs. Just then, Catalina happened to come out of her room to get some water.

When the woman saw Lucian and Estella, she asked in confusion, “Mr. Farwell, where are you taking Ms. Estella in the middle of the night?”

He paused his footsteps, then turned and enquired, “Were there red spots on Essie’s body when you were helping her wash up?”

Catalina’s heart sank a little as she glanced at Estella in concern.
