    Chapter 768 The Mosquitoes Keep Biting Me


    Meanwhile, although the light in Aubree’s room had been turned off, she had yet to go to sleep.


    Aubree waited until she saw Lucian carry Este to the car and slowly drive out of the Farwell


    residence before tiptoeing around her room to gather some things. Then, she opened the door and


    crept to Este’s room.


    Lucian had left in such a hurry that he did not even close the door to Este’s room, which only made


    things easier for Aubree.


    Using the glow from her phone screen to see what she was doing, she switched out a few things inside


    Este’s bathroom. After scanning the room carefully and ensuring nothing appeared out of the


    ordinary, she left quietly.


    Back in her room, the thought of the distressed look on Este’s face filled her heart with glee.


    That little brat… Let’s see if she dares to go against me again!


    Meanwhile, Este’s condition did not get any better as they made their way to Roxanne’s house. She


    could not refrain from asionally reaching out to rake her nails wildly over her skin.


    Lucian could see what she was doing through the rearview mirror, and his brows knitted together. While


    they stopped at a traffic light, he took the chance to call Roxanne again.


    Roxanne had already prepared her medical kit and was anxiously waiting for them to arrive.


    When she saw that Lucian was calling her, she answered her phone immediately.


    “I’m on the way to your house, but Essie can’t stand the itchiness and keeps scratching. You should


    chat with her for a little while.”


    Lucian was subconsciously thinking of Roxanne as Este’s biological mother. He spoke in a way that


    sounded as though that was the most natural thing for Roxanne to do.


    As for Roxanne, since the matter concerned Este, she did not notice anything odd about his tone and


    agreed without hesitation.


    Over in the rear passenger seat, Este stared at Lucian’s phone as soon as she heard Roxanne’s


    voice. I want to talk to Ms. Jarvis!


    A secondter, Este saw him toss his phone over to her.

    She quickly grabbed it. Then, holding the phone in both hands, she proceeded to voice her grievances


    to Roxanne. “Ms. Jarvis, it’s so itchy! The mosquitoes keep biting me!”


    Upon hearing Este’s miserable voice, Roxanne felt a pang shooting through her heart. “Be good and


    don’t scratch, okay? I’ll take a lookter and make you all better.”


    Este sadly mumbled a response.


    To distract Este, Roxanne started chatting to her about arts and crafts again.


    It seemed to work as Este’s hands stopped moving after a while.


    Lucian heaved a sigh of relief and began driving even faster.


    Soon, the car slowly pulled up in front of the entrance to Roxanne’s residential area.


    “We’re here.”


    Roxanne vaguely heard Lucian’s voice over the phone. Then, the inte in her house started ringing.


    She hung up and went to the inte to open the gates of the residential area for Lucian and Este


    toe in. After that, she opened the mansion door and waited in the yard.


    In the dark of the night, she watched as a car slowly drove toward her and stopped in her yard.


    Lucian alighted from the car. His shirt was only a thin, ashy gray one. He turned to open the rear


    passenger seat door and carried Este out of the car.


    “Ms. Jarvis!” From afar, Este stretched out her hands toward Roxanne while still in her father’s arms,


    wanting Roxanne to carry her.


    Roxanne hurried forward to carry Este. However, Lucian dodged away.


    Roxanne was taken aback. Her thoughts flew to their rather unpleasant conversation earlier that


    evening, and she guessed that he was still annoyed by her rtionship with Jack.


    However, Lucian frowned and simply said, “We don’t know if it’s contagious.”
