The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 768

Chapter 768 The Mosquitoes Keep Biting Me

Meanwhile, although the light in Aubree’s room had been turned off, she had yet to go to sleep.

Aubree waited until she saw Lucian carry Estella to the car and slowly drive out of the Farwell residence before tiptoeing around her room to gather some things. Then, she opened the door and crept to Estella’s room.

Lucian had left in such a hurry that he did not even close the door to Estella’s room, which only made things easier for Aubree.

Using the glow from her phone screen to see what she was doing, she switched out a few things inside Estella’s bathroom. After scanning the room carefully and ensuring nothing appeared out of the ordinary, she left quietly.

Back in her room, the thought of the distressed look on Estella’s face filled her heart with glee.

That little brat… Let’s see if she dares to go against me again!

Meanwhile, Estella’s condition did not get any better as they made their way to Roxanne’s house. She could not refrain from occasionally reaching out to rake her nails wildly over her skin.

Lucian could see what she was doing through the rearview mirror, and his brows knitted together. While they stopped at a traffic light, he took the chance to call Roxanne again.

Roxanne had already prepared her medical kit and was anxiously waiting for them to arrive.

When she saw that Lucian was calling her, she answered her phone immediately.

“I’m on the way to your house, but Essie can’t stand the itchiness and keeps scratching. You should chat with her for a little while.”

Lucian was subconsciously thinking of Roxanne as Estella’s biological mother. He spoke in a way that sounded as though that was the most natural thing for Roxanne to do.

As for Roxanne, since the matter concerned Estella, she did not notice anything odd about his tone and agreed without hesitation.

Over in the rear passenger seat, Estella stared at Lucian’s phone as soon as she heard Roxanne’s voice. I want to talk to Ms. Jarvis!
