    Chapter 121 What Went Wrong


    Roxanne walked in that direction, and she saw Este curled in the corner with her knees tucked in,


    and her eyes looked empty like a soulless doll.

    Recalling how Este used to wee her with a sweet, bright smile, Roxanne’s heart was wrenched


    in pain, suffocating her.


    This morning, Este grabbed her skirt with a pair of twinkling eyes, but she descended into such a


    piteous state so unexpectedly.


    Roxanne tiptoed into the room and squatted down beside her. With a soft and gentle voice, she called


    out to her, “Essie, I’m here.”


    Este, however, had no response.


    Roxanne was taken aback by Este’s condition.


    Behind Roxanne, James reminded softly, “Ms. Jarvis, Este is nowpletely shut off from the


    outside world. You need to keep talking to her, in order to lure her back into reality. Patience is


    necessary to achieve that.”Roxanne calmed herself down and nodded.


    She started talking to Este again, “Essie, look who is here too! Archie and Benny are here! They’re


    all here!”


    Archie and Benny strode over to join Roxanne and Este. Benny started making faces at Este. “I’m


    here to visit you! Don’t you cry!”


    Archie frowned and stared at Este’s eyes. “You can just zone out for a short while, okay? We’re


    waiting for you to y together. Would you like to join us?”


    Previously, when they said this, Este would burst intoughter.


    However, this time, Este did not respond. She sat motionlessly on the same spot and did not even lift


    a finger.


    The smile on Benny’s face slowly faded, and it quickly turned into a frown. “Hey, we’re talking to you.


    Are you unhappy that you’re going to school? Archie and I are joining you soon. We can bring you


    anywhere that you want, and we can do everything together! Doesn’t that sound nice?”


    With a sullen expression, Archie threatened, “If you don’t talk to us, we don’t want to y with you


    anymore!”


    Be that as it may, Este still did not respond.


    Archie and Benny took a deep breath and changed their methods. Instead of anticipating a response,


    they started babbling incessantly about all sorts of topics, even mentioning what happened at Universe


    Park. They also promised to bring her there once she recovered.


    In spite of their relentless attempts to get her to talk, Este didn’t even blink once.


    Their eyes started to well up, and they used Roxanne’s sleeves to wipe their tears. “Mommy, Essie


    doesn’t seem to be able to hear us. What should we do?”


    Their voices started to break.


    Roxanne’s eyes were also slightly red. She kept herposure and patted Archie and Benny on the


    head. “Essie will surely recover. Why don’t the two of you take a break? I will speak to her.”


    Archie and Benny struggled to resist crying, at least not in front of Este. Quietly, they retreated


    behind Roxanne.


    Roxanne extended her hand gently and carried Este in her arms. Roxanne started talking about


    everything under the sun, irrespective of whether Este could hear her.


    Este was also like a doll, leaving herself to the whims and fancies of Roxanne.


    That very sight pulled at Lucian’s heartstrings.


    He was even more certain that Roxanne did not know that Este was her daughter.


    Otherwise, Roxanne would not have treated Este that kindly, given that she purportedly abandoned


    her own daughter.
