Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278

The forest was dark. Roxanne could only rely on her torchlight because the faint moonlight was insufficient to illuminate the path ahead of her.

She walked carefully inside the forest, not knowing where she was.

Roxanne only knew Estella was nowhere in sight thus far in her venture into the woods.

After sending Archie and Benny back to the hotel, she checked the messages in the WhatsApp group and noticed none of the other parents had seen Estella.

No one has yet to search the forest. This is the only place left. If Essie is really in here...

Roxanne felt more frightened the more she dwelled on that thought.

Even she was scared of being alone in that environment, not to mention Estella, who was just a little girl.

Essie would not have come inside here if it weren‘t for me.

At that thought, Roxanne gritted her teeth and hastened her steps. She must locate Estella as soon as possible.

“Essie! Where are you?”

Roxanne shouted Estella‘s name as she moved deeper into the forest, hoping to receive any response from the little girl.

However, even after she shouted until her voice turned hoarse, her surroundings remained silent.

Suddenly, there were movements at a bush nearby.

Roxanne‘s eyes shone. She thought Estella was there, so she quickly strode over.

Just as she got closer, something jumped out from the thicket

Roxanne shuddered in fear. She was on the verge of screaming due to the shock.

Upon taking a closer look, she realized that it was just a wild rabbit. She let out a sigh of relief at that realization.

Still, when she was reminded of Estella‘s unknown whereabouts, her anxiety intensified, and she walked forward at a quicker pace.
