    Chapter 782 Pack Your Things


    Aubree was stunned for a few seconds. Suppressing the panic in her heart, she approached him with concern written all over her


    face and pretended not to know anything about what had happened yesterday. “Lucian, what''s going on?”


    Lucian looked at the person in front of him expressionlessly and interrogatively. Things had been chaoticst night. He had only


    heard Roxanne say that Este’s symptoms were due to a bacterial allergy.


    As for where the bacterium came from, he hadn''t had the time to think about it until he carefully recalled what had happened


    when he was on the way back.


    Everything had been fine before Aubree arrived at the manor. However, the bacterium had shown up the same time as her.


    Lucian couldn’t help but suspect the woman in front of him.


    Aubree’s heart clenched when he nced at her. She pinched her palm to calm herself down, then asked innocently, “I heard


    from the housekeepers that there’s a bacterium in the house. It can’t be true, can it? The house is cleaned daily, so where did the


    bacteriume from?”


    Lucian furrowed his brows. | don’t notice anything odd by observing her face. Then again, I’ve never noticed how she has been


    treating Essie behind my back or even in front of me for six years.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    At that thought, he looked away instead of investigating further. If she’s the one who did it, I''ll find out sooner orter.


    “Essie’s allergy was suddenly triggeredst night. | took her for a checkup and was told that she hade in contact with an


    infectious bacterium,” Lucian said, then nced at Aubree meaningfully. “Looks like you weren''t infected. | suppose | don’t need


    to bring bad news to Mr. Pearson.”


    Aubree was stunned. She wondered if it was a good or bad thing that she wasn’t infected. Steeling herself, she changed the


    topic and asked, “Essie had an allergic reaction? How is she?”


    Lucian looked at her silently.


    “Why did youe back all by yourself? Is anyone taking care of Essie right now?” Aubree stubbornly put on an act despite his


    lack of response.


    However, Lucian continued to remain silent. Unable to go on with her one-woman show, she asked sheepishly, “Where is she?


    I''ll go and visit her.”


    Lucian pursed his lips and replied, “You don’t have to. Essie has recovered.”


    An imperceptible astonishment shed past Aubree’s eyes. How did she recover so quickly? Frieda said that kind of bacterium is


    very difficult to detect. It''ll take normal doctors days to find the cause and even longer than that toe up with a treatment. But


    he doesn’t seem to be lying. He also doesn’t have any reason to lie to me about Essie’s condition.


    Aubree forced herself to calm down, then shed a casual smile at Lucian. “I’m d that Essie’s fine. Her body has always been


    quite weak since she was a child. She must have been terrified this time.”


    Lucian ignored her question and scanned the room. Besides the woman in front of me, who else could have brought the


    bacterium here...


    “It''s done, Mr. Farwell,” Catalina reported after she and the other housekeepers sanitized the entire mansion.


    Lucian nodded and ordered, “Investigate who had left the manor for a long time in the past few days.”


    “Will do, Mr. Farwell.”


    Aubree panicked a little when she heard that Lucian nned to investigate the matter thoroughly. Her heart clenched again as


    she pretended to avert her gaze from Lucian calmly.


    “Pack your things. I''ll send you back,” Lucian said in a deep voice.
