Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 942

Chapter 942 Should Not Have Camp Here

“Ms. Jarvis…” Estella, who was in Roxanne’s embrace, called out weakly. Roxanne stroked her cheek and assured her, “Come on. You’ll not be in as much pain anymore after drinking the medicine.”

Naturally, Estella trusted her and leaned over to have her medicine. A frown instantly formed on her face after she took a sip. Roxanne placed the cup near Estella’s lips. However, the latter refused to open her mouth again.

Ever since Estella was young, she had always taken pills or been on an IV drip when she was sick. She had rarely had any traditional medicine. Hence, Estella could not stand the bitterness of it.

Just as Roxanne was worrying about how she could get Estella to finish her medicine, Archie walked in. “Hurry up and drink your medicine, Essie. I’ll give you a piece of candy once you finish it!”

He squatted down in front of Estella and waved his fist. Hesitating, Estella looked at Archie for a moment before opening her mouth and chugging the medicine. She then turned her head and looked at Archie expectantly.

Archie scratched his nose embarrassedly and said, “We ate all the candies earlier.” He had no choice but to lie to Estella just now. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have finished her medicine.

Upon hearing that, Estella was slightly unhappy. However, she knew that the boy had done it for her health. Hence, she recomposed herself and gave Archie a smile.

Only then did Archie heave a sigh of relief and turn to check on Benny. It was way easier for Benny to take his medicine.

Since they were young, Archie and Benny had always hung around in the research institute. They had tried different traditional medicines as if they were just a snack.

Many of them were way more bitter than the traditional medicine they were having now. Roxanne nervously observed Benny’s and Estella’s condition after they finished their medicine.

“How are both of you feeling?” Roxanne asked, concerned, as she did not notice anything amiss from both of them after some time.

Benny furrowed his brows and said, “I felt better when I just finished the medicine. Now, I’m starting to feel the pain again.”

Just as he finished his words, Estella, who was at the side, couldn’t help but let out a groan.

She had more severe symptoms and was the first to finish her medicine, so Estella had started to feel the sharp pain in her stomach again a few minutes ago.

However, she endured the pain as she didn’t want the boys and Roxanne to be worried about her.
