Chapter 767


    Chapter 767 She Had Never Suffered Like That


    Roxanne had just fallen into a deep sleep when she was suddenly awakened by her phone ringing.


    Groggily, she felt for her phone on the bedside table and answered the call. “Who’s this?”


    Lucian furrowed his brows slightly, then said in a deep voice, “It’s me.” Hearing his voice gave her a


    jolt, and her mind suddenly felt much more awake. “What’s the matter?”


    He looked down at the girl in his arms. Este was sobbing while attempting to lower her head and look


    at herself.


    Lucian tightened his arms around her, then exined everything to Roxanne. “There are suddenly a lot


    of red spots on Essie’s body, and they itch a lot. I just woke her up. If it’s convenient for you, I’ll bring


    her over for you to check on her.”


    As soon as Roxanne learned that Este was unwell, thest vestiges of sleepiness vanished. Getting


    dressed while climbing out of bed, she said, “Sure. I’ll wait here for you.”


    After murmuring a reply, he hung up and patted Este’s head. “There’s a good girl. We’ll go and let


    Ms. Jarvis take a look at you, and everything will be fine,” he said in a reassuring tone.


    Despite her condition, Este nodded obediently upon hearing that she would be able to see Roxanne


    soon. She leaned against Lucian’s shoulder weakly and said pleadingly, “Daddy, it itches so bad.”


    It worried Lucian terribly to see her so unwell. s, the only thing he could do was free a hand and


    lightly scratch at her skin through her clothes with the tips of his fingers to relieve her difort.


    He carried her all the way downstairs. Just then, Catalina happened toe out of her room to get


    some water.


    When the woman saw Lucian and Este, she asked in confusion, “Mr. Farwell, where are you taking


    Ms. Este in the middle of the night?”


    He paused his footsteps, then turned and enquired, “Were there red spots on Essie’s body when you


    were helping her wash up?”


    Catalina’s heart sank a little as she nced at Este in concern.


    Her face was etched with worry when she noticed the red spots dotting Este’s body. “She was fine


    during her bath. How did this happen?”


    “I’m taking her to get it checked,” he responded without asking further questions. He was about to leave


    when Catalina quickly called out to him.


    She reached for a throw from the couch and wrapped it around Este. “Since it’s chilly outside and


    Ms. Este isn’t feeling well, it’ll be better to wrap up.”


    Lucian nodded, watching as the woman tucked the throw around Este. After that, he proceeded to


    carry Este out of the house.


    Catalina sighed worriedly as she watched the pair leave, then went to pour herself some water.

    I’m not sure whether it’s an illusion from seeing the red spots on Este’s skin, but I’m starting to feel


    some itchiness on my body too.


    Lucian carried Este to the car and had just ced her down when she started wing at her irritated


    skin again.


    His expression darkened, and he said sternly, “Don’t do that, Essie.”


    Este pouted at those words, tears brimming in her eyes.


    I don’t want to do so, either. It hurts and itches when I scratch at it. It’s absolutely unbearable. But if I


    don’t, it’s torturous!


    Her aggrieved expression made his heart ache, and he gently stroked her head.


    After all, she had been pampered since she was little and had never suffered like that.


    Recalling how Roxanne usually spoke to Este, Lucian tried his best to soften his tone and say a few


    words offort. “Everything will be fine when you see Ms. Jarvis. She’ll make you feel better. If you


    keep doing that, it’ll leave scars. That’d be an ugly sight.”


    Este finally nodded obediently at the mention of Roxanne.
