    Chapter 770 | Will Not Be Infected


    At the sight of Lucian’s condition, Roxanne couldn''t help frowning. Conversely, Este 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 Este curled up in a ball, her heart clenched painfully.


    “Come over here, Essie. Let me have a look at you.”


    Este 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 simr conditions in the


    past and have suffered from this condition previously. Therefore, | won''t be infected anymore.”


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


    Este scrutinized Roxanne suspiciously for a long time. Only when she had ascertained that thetter 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 tofort 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 Este’s pulse. There was no point in him saying


    anything then. A strange feeling welled within him.


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


    For a moment, he even regretted bringing Este over.


    | should''ve brought Essie to the hospital. At the very least, | could have prevented Roxanne from being infected.


    While Roxanne was checking Este over, Archie and Benny trotted in curiously.


    Earlier, they vaguely heard some noise outside, so they got up to have a look. To their sheer surprise, they spotted Lucian’s car


    in the courtyard.


    They initially thought that he came alone, so they wanted toe over and sneak a look to ascertain whether the two adults


    were having a row again.


    Unexpectedly, no sooner had they reached Roxanne’s bedroom door than they caught sight of Este sitting on Roxanne’s bed


    pitifully with red spots dotting her exposed wrist and neck. She appeared as though she was gravely ill.


    Seeing that, they both wore worried expressions on their faces. They hastily sprinted over to the bed to have a look at Este.


    In the room, both adults were preupied with their respective thoughts. Este, on the other hand, was itching badly. No one


    noticed Archie and Benny’s approach.


    Lucian was the first to notice them.


    When he saw them dashing in without warning, his brows abruptly knitted together, and he warned in a deep voice, “Don’te

    Regretfully, it was already toote. Archie and Benny gingerly touched Este’s neck with worry written all over their faces.


    “What''s wrong with Essie, Mommy?”


    It wasn’t until Roxanne heard their voices that she jolted back to reality and shifted her gaze away from Este’s wrist.


    The instant sheid eyes on their outstretched hands, her pupils constricted.


    Withdrawing their hands, Archie and Benny looked at each other in bemusement.


    “How itchy!” Benny lowered his head and nced at his wrist, only to see red spots simr to the ones on Este’s neck dotting


    his wrist.
