    Chapter 769 Still Need To Check Her Over


    When Este heard her father’s remark, her eyes flickered, and she retracted her hands. I’m already feeling horrible, so | don’t


    want Ms. Jarvis to suffer as well.


    Roxanne was inevitably stunned for a few seconds, surprised that Lucian was purely concerned about her. Oh God, |


    misunderstood him...


    Pursing her lips, she smiled and looked at Este reassuringly. “It’s okay. Come here and let me hug you.” While saying that, she


    held her arms out to the little girl to carry her into the house.


    She could tell that Este was scared to death then and yearned for her embrace. s, her outstretched arms grasped empty air


    once more.


    Este wriggled into her father’s embrace, dodging Roxanne’s outstretched arms. She then shook her head at thetter. “Daddy


    will carry me in.”


    Roxanne’s heart promptly melted, knowing that Este was afraid she would be infected. In the end, she relented and followed


    them into the living room.


    “ce her in my room,” she offered gently upon noticing the man faltering in his tracks.


    Nodding, Lucian headed upstairs directly with Este in his arms and went to Roxanne’s room.


    After stepping foot into the room, however, he hesitated because he wasn’t sure where to ce her.


    If it''s really contagious, Roxanne might be infected if | were to ce Essie onto her bed.


    Entering right after him, Roxanne perceived his worry. She snagged arge nket from the side and spread it over the bed


    before motioning for him to ce Este down.


    Only then did Lucian step forward and ce Este onto the bed.


    Subsequently, Roxanne stepped forward and carefully removed the nket wrapped around Este.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    The lighting outside was rather dim earlier. That aside, Este was wrapped up like a burrito, so she merely knew that the girl


    had red spots all over her body. She had no idea of the specific situation.


    Este docilely allowed her to do as she pleased.


    When Roxanne had removed the nket, a glimmer of shock flittered across her eyes at the red spots nketing Este’s body.


    Although she had expected her condition to be exceedingly severe long before Lucian arrived, she never imagined it would be


    that bad.


    It''s fortunate that he timely stopped Essie from simply scratching her body. Otherwise, her condition would be even more severe.


    “So? Is it serious?” Lucian asked with a frown, restraining Este’s wrists in order to prevent her from moving around.


    At his question, Roxanne turned and cast him a look. The expression on her face was somewhat solemn. “I still need to check


    her over.”


    She could roughly tell the cause of Este’s symptoms, but she still needed to take her pulse to be sure.


    As soon as Lucian glimpsed her outstretched hand, the crease of his brows deepened. Ultimately, he admitted, “Essie’s condition


    is contagious.”


    During the drive over, his arm had also started itching. As time passed, the feeling soon grew increasingly intense. On top of that,


    the affected area was seemingly expanding as well.


    He hadn''t had the time to check himself over yet, but he was inwardly certain that he had already been infected by Este.


    To avoid having her me herself, he had been holding himself back and saying nothing. Nor did he exhibit any irregrity.


    Nheless, he still stopped Roxanne timely when she wanted to touch Este.


    Unexpectedly, contact between them both still ended up unavoidable.


    Hearing that, both Roxanne and Este were startled.


    Snapping back to her senses, Roxanne instinctively swept her gaze over the man’s exposed skin, only to be greeted by the sight


    of a few inconspicuous red spots looming at his cor.


    The back of his neck, where Este touched earlier, had also turned into an expanse of red spots.


    Whoa! | wonder how he managed to endure it that he didn’t give anything away all this while.
