Chapter 770 I Will Not Be Infected

At the sight of Lucian’s condition, Roxanne couldn’t help frowning. Conversely, Estella merely heard that her condition was contagious but didn’t see the red spots on Lucian’s body. She shrunk to the side pitifully, refusing to allow the two adults to touch her further.

Gathering her wits about her, Roxanne dipped her eyes. When she saw Estella curled up in a ball, her heart clenched painfully. “Come over here, Essie. Let me have a look at you.”

Estella shook her head, replying timidly, “No, it’s okay. I’ll infect you, Ms. Jarvis.”

Her words had Roxanne’s eyes stinging. Smiling, she coaxed, “I’m not afraid. I’ve treated patients with similar conditions in the past and have suffered from this condition previously. Therefore, I won’t be infected anymore.”

Even Lucian was momentarily stupefied to hear that, mistakenly assuming that she was speaking the truth.

Estella scrutinized Roxanne suspiciously for a long time. Only when she had ascertained that the latter didn’t seem to be lying, and she was indeed feeling so awful that she couldn’t put up with it any longer did she slowly inch over to Roxanne and stretch her hand out.

Roxanne stroked her head to comfort her before reaching out and taking her wrist to diagnose her condition.

At the side, Lucian stared at the woman in front of him with a dark look in his eyes.

Her expression when she spoke earlier had me duped as well. But on second thought, she hadn’t even checked Essie over. So, how could she have known whether her condition was contagious? Thus, her words earlier were only meant to console Essie.

By the time realization dawned upon him, Roxanne had already started taking Estella’s pulse. There was no point in him saying anything then. A strange feeling welled within him.

She has no idea of her relationship with Essie, yet she’s willing to take such a colossal risk to diagnose and treat her…

For a moment, he even regretted bringing Estella over.
