The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 771

Chapter 771 I Am Sorry

Shortly after, Archie’s arm also started itching. Archie and Benny gazed at Roxanne blankly, not understanding what had happened to them.

A glint of self-recrimination flashed across Roxanne’s eyes when she saw that they had both gotten infected.

If only I had closed the door earlier, I would’ve noticed their entry in time and stopped them from approaching. Then, they wouldn’t have gotten infected…

“It’s so itchy, Mommy.” With a frown marring his countenance, Benny stretched out his hand to scratch the itch.

“Don’t touch it!” Roxanne hastily ordered.

As her words rang out, Lucian stepped forward and grabbed Archie and Benny’s hands to prevent them from simply scratching their itches.

Just now, he didn’t dare touch them out of consideration that he was already infected. That was why he didn’t physically stop them.

Since they had also been infected then, that was no longer a worry.

Meanwhile, Estella already had that experience. While refraining from scratching her body, she pinned her eyes on Archie and Benny as she apologized, “I’m sorry. This is all on me…”

When Archie and Benny heard that, they endured the itch assailing them and comforted her instead. “We asked for it. It has nothing to do with you.”

After saying that, it occurred to them that Estella had suffered such torment for an indeterminably long time. Gritting their teeth, they turned solemn and said to Lucian, “Let go of us, Mr. Farwell. We won’t scratch anywhere!”

Since Essie can endure it, we can naturally do the same! We need to be good role models for her!

Lucian eyed them both skeptically. Only when he was sure he couldn’t detect any signs of lying did he slowly loosen his hold on them.

Sure enough, Archie and Benny didn’t touch the red spots on their bodies throughout it all.

“Ms. Jarvis…” Estella muttered with much difficulty out of the blue.

Roxanne’s heart lurched. She dropped her hand from Estella’s wrist and touched the girl’s face instead.
