Chapter 860


    Chapter 860 Este Was Unwell


    Roxanne left Herbscape Group and drove straight to the Farwell residence. Less than twenty minutester, her Mercedes-Benz


    slowly rolled to a stop in front of the manor entrance.


    She rang the doorbell frantically, and it was not long before Catalina answered the inte. “Mrs.—” Catalina began without


    thinking when she saw the person on the screen. However, she quickly caught herself and changed what she was saying. “Ms.


    Jarvis.”


    Too worried about Este crying, Roxanne had no time to pay attention to the little details. “Hurry up and let me in, Catalina.


    How''s Essie?”


    Catalina sighed inwardly when she saw how anxious Roxanne looked. “You''re toote. Mr. Lucian has taken Ms. Este out.”


    Roxanne’s expression froze when she heard that reply.


    | thought Lucian only said that in a fit of anger. | can’t believe he’d actually be so cruel. Since Essie hasn’t seen me, she must still


    be bawling her eyes out.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    The thought of that brought Roxanne to her senses, and she asked in a low voice, “Do you know where he took her?”


    Catalina hesitated for a split second. However, the recollection of Lucian’s parting instruction made her shake her head. The light


    in Roxanne’s eyes went out, and a wave of regret washed over her. If only I''d arrived a little earlier...


    “Why don’t you give Mr. Farwell a call?” Catalina could not stop herself from suggesting. Although she felt bad for Este when


    Roxanne did not promise toe over immediately, she could not bear to see the look on Roxanne’s face.


    Indeed, Roxanne was so anxious that she had forgotten she could do so. Thanks to Catalina’s reminder, she suddenly realized


    that was what she should do.


    “Thank you. I’ll call him right away!” With that, she fished out her phone from her bag, pulled up Lucian’s number, and made the


    call. However, as soon as the call connected, it was declined just as it started ringing.


    Then, the sound of a femaleputer-generated voice rang out. She tried calling again immediately, but the same thing


    happened several times.


    He’s evidently angry at me. I’m afraid he probably won''t pick up my calls for now. As the realization dawned on her, guilt welled


    within her. All | can do is try my luck and send Lucian a message. | wonder how Este is...


    Meanwhile, Este’s cries grew louder and pierced the air whenever the phone rang as they made their way to James’ clinic.


    “Ms. Jarvis!”


    Nheless, Lucian remained unmoved and did not hesitate to decline the calls as soon as his phone rang. Despite hearing


    Este’s sobs, he denied that the calls were from Roxanne in a chilly tone, “No, it’s not Ms. Jarvis. She’s still busy working.”


    Este’s wails soon grew weaker again and gradually turned into whimpers.


    Lucian nced at her through the rearview mirror and saw that although her cries were much softer, tears continued streaming


    down her cheeks.


    The sight of that caused his gaze to darken. Spotting the message notification that popped up on his phone screen, he frowned


    and swiftly dismissed it. Then, he called to ask James to spare some time for him.


    Upon learning that Este was unwell, James agreed at once. After ending the call, Lucian could stop himself from tapping on


    the message Roxanne had sent.


    Roxanne: Sorry for beingte. Where are you and Essie? I''ll rush over there immediately. A scornful look shed in his eyes after


    he read the message. Then he closed the message interface.
