Chapter 1175
However, an inexplicable sense of unease swamped Este.
She felt so aggrieved that her eyes turned red-rimmed.
“No, | want you, Daddy!” Perturbed, Lucian massaged his temples and tried to
console his daughter by saying patiently, “Essie...
I''ll be home very soon.” Unexpectedly, Este suddenly demanded, “I want Ms.
Jarvis!” At the mention of Roxanne, Lucian’s heart promptly sank.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
Is this a coincidence? Why did she bring it up today, of all days, when she’s
been waiting for Roxanne for days on end? “Be good, Essie.
Your daddy is busy with work.
I''ll take good care of you.” Hastily cutting Este off, Aubree brought the phone
to her ear, afraid that Este would burst into tears if she continued with the
conversation.
If that happened, she would really have no way of exining things to Lucian.
“Go and get busy, Lucian.
Don’t worry, for I''ll get Essie home safely!” Naturally, Lucian could hear the
agitation in Este’s voice.
But inparison with Roxanne’s current condition, he hadn’t the time to attend
to his daughter.
Thus, he merely went silent for a few seconds following Aubree’s promise
before acquiescing tersely.
After hanging up the phone, Aubree nced at the rearview mirror.
Phew! Fortunately, she’s merely tearing up and hasn’t yet started crying.
| suppose Lucian didnt notice anything amiss.
“Essie, Ms. Jarvis already has her own kids, so you can’t cling to her so much.
Besides, she often fights with your daddy.
You should be siding with your daddy.” She attempted to mislead Este into
staying away from Roxanne.
Este, who was already in a bad mood that day, snorted angrily upon hearing
disparaging remarks about Roxanne from Aubree.
Crossing her arms, she said nothing.
The little girl''s attitude caused Aubree to grit her teeth in vexation and forced
herself to suppress the wrath within her.
At the hospital, time continued ticking by.
It was already seven o’clock at night, and four to five hours had passed since
Roxanne was wheeled into the emergency room.
Lucian had taken a seat after standing for a long time, and right then, he was
again standing in front of the emergency room doors with a grim expression,
waiting impatiently.
What exactly is going on in there? It’s been so long! “Mr. Farwell, you haven’t
eaten, have you? Why don’t we go and grab a bite together? I''ll have someone
keep an eye on things here.
If there’s any news, you''ll be notified at once.” Meanwhile, the director of the
hospital, Zayne Yaleman, was still persistently trying to ingratiate himself with
Lucian.
As he spoke, he cautiously lifted his eyes and peeked at the man before him.
Lucian whirled around, his eyes zing scarlet.
“Buzz off!” The temperature around him was frightfully low.
Shuddering instinctively, Zayne nodded fervently.
“Sure! I’m going to buzz off right now.
I''m leaving.” Having said that, he spun on his heel and hurried away.
Lucian turned back around and stared intently at the emergency room doors as
though he wanted to bore a hole in them.
At that precise moment, the red light above the emergency room finally went
out. The doors slowly swung open, upon which four or five doctors strode out
with a few nurses.
At the sight of the medical team, Lucian immediately frowned.
| don’t see any sign of Roxanne among the crowd.
“Where is she?” His voice was seemingly squeezed out between clenched
teeth.
The leading specialist hastened over and reported, “Calm down, Mr. Farwell.
Dr. Jarvis’ condition has stabilized for the time being.” Turning a deaf ear to that,
Lucian pressed with his eyes fixated on the man, “So, where is she?”
Seeing that he was on the brink of snapping, the specialists exchanged nces.
For a moment, no one dared to say anything.
While we sessfully saved the patient...
things aren’t looking so bright.
