The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 772

Chapter 772 We Will Take Good Care Of Essie

“What’s the matter, Dr. Jarvis?”

Colby had just fallen asleep when he was jolted awake by Roxanne’s call. When he glimpsed the caller ID, he immediately answered the call.

Hearing his voice, Roxanne furtively breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn’t the time to exchange pleasantries with him, so she cut to the chase. “If it isn’t too much trouble, can you make a trip to the research institute right now?”

At that, Colby sat up from the bed. “Is there anything important?”

While saying that, he had already started changing without waiting for her reply.

He knew that there must be something crucial that she was calling at that hour, but he wanted to know the specifics.

Roxanne glanced at the three children in the room, her voice grave. “I have kids here who developed an allergic reaction due to bacterial infection. The spray we formulated back then might be effective, but I’m really needed here. As such, I can only seek your help.”

Having said that, she added, “Forget it if it’s too much trouble. I can also make a trip over myself.”

By then, Colby had already gone downstairs after snagging a coat and draping it over himself. “I’ve already left home and will be arriving soon.”

Roxanne thanked him gratefully, saying, “I’m really sorry for troubling you at this hour.”

At her words, Colby merely chuckled nonchalantly. “It’s no big deal. The children’s health comes first. I remember that the symptoms of such an allergy can get exceedingly serious. Take care of them first. I’ll rush over as soon as possible.”

Roxanne murmured an acknowledgment and thanked him again before hanging up the phone.

By the time she returned to the room, Estella’s face had already flushed bright red. The red spots on Archie and Benny’s bodies had also spread to their necks.

It was the first time they had such a severe illness. Although they were already sufficiently strong, they were still inexorably afraid.
