Chapter 285 Recuperate Back At Home
The following day, Roxanne woke up and realized there was a coat draped over her body. Lucian had
ced his coat over her after she fell asleepst night.
Roxanne sat up and nced around the ward, but Lucian was nowhere to be seen.
Strangely, she felt empty inside.
Roxanne was in a daze when the door to the ward was opened. Turning at her shoulder, she saw
Lucian tiptoeing in, wearing nothing but a shirt. He looked really worn out.
When their gazes met, Lucian’s gaze turned dark. His voice was hoarse as he asked, “You’re up?”
Roxanne nodded in response. After a brief hesitation, she got up and ced the coat over Este. The
little girl was still sleeping soundly.
Lucian’s gaze softened when he saw what she did. He went up to her and nced at her bandaged
wrist. “How are you feeling? Do you need to redress your wound?” he asked with concern.
Roxanne shook her head calmly. “No need for that. I can change it myself at home. The medicine in the
hospital could be more inefficient than my own medicine.”
As she sounded confident, Lucian arched a brow. He then recalled her job and previous experience
before giving her a nomittal nod.
After that, an awkward silence ensued in the ward.
“If there’s nothing else—”
Roxanne was about to bid him goodbye when Este’s soft voice rang out. “Ms. Jarvis…”
The little girl sounded as though she was on the verge of breaking into tears.
An instant heartache overcame Roxanne as she turned around hastily to look at Este.
Perhaps Este had dreamed ofst night’s event, for tears were streaming down her cheeks even
though she was still asleep. Her little face was all scrunched up pitifully.
“I’m here,” Roxanne assured her as she carefully wiped the tears away from Este’s cheeks.
Este woke up crying. At the sight of Roxanne sitting beside her, she leaped into Roxanne’s arms and
started sobbing.

Her sobs were muffledpared to her sobs back when she was trapped in the hole. However,
Roxanne still felt her heart clench at her pitiful whimpers.
She must be so scared to wake up from a nightmare this morning.
Roxanneforted Este for a long time before the little girl quashed her sobs. Her eyes were red as
she stared at Roxanne wordlessly.
Lucian’s expression had turned dark when he heard Este calling Roxanne in her sleep a while ago.
After chatting with Este briefly, Lucian summoned the doctor to check her condition.
The doctor confirmed she was all right, and Lucian left to handle the discharge procedures.
Outside the hospital, Este held Roxanne’s hand. She couldn’t bear to part with her.
Roxanne patted her head. “You should recuperate back at home. Just give me a call whenever you
miss me, all right?”
Este nodded, but she showed no signs of wanting to release Roxanne’s hand.
Roxanne couldn’t bring herself to ask Este to release her hand.
Este was traumatized by yesterday’s events, so she wanted nothing more than to shower her love on
Este.
Seeing how stubborn Este was, Lucian felt heartbroken. He knew Roxanne couldn’t keep Este
company forever, so he bent down and took Este’s wrist. “Essie, let go of Ms. Jarvis. We need to
head back home. Your grandpa and grandma are worried about you.”
Pursing her lips, Este released her grip on Roxanne’s hand reluctantly.
Roxanne was slightly distracted. Essie looks disappointed. She had the same disappointed expression
when I rejected herst afternoon.
“Ms. Jarvis, goodbye.” Este bade goodbye to Roxanne softly with her head hung low.
Roxanne was taken aback. This was the first time Este had spoken out loud sincest night, except
for the words that she had mumbled in her sleep earlier.
She spoke out loud to bid me goodbye.
Roxanne felt her heart turn soft. shing a smile, she bade Este goodbye and left in a hurry. She
was afraid she would be reluctant to leave if she were to spare Este another look.
