Chapter 770


    Chapter 770 I Will Not Be Infected


    At the sight of Lucian’s condition, Roxanne couldn’t help frowning. Conversely, Este merely heard


    that her condition was contagious but didn’t see the red spots on Lucian’s body. She shrunk to the side


    pitifully, refusing to allow the two adults to touch her further.


    Gathering her wits about her, Roxanne dipped her eyes. When she saw Este curled up in a ball, her


    heart clenched painfully. “Come over here, Essie. Let me have a look at you.”


    Este shook her head, replying timidly, “No, it’s okay. I’ll infect you, Ms. Jarvis.”


    Her words had Roxanne’s eyes stinging. Smiling, she coaxed, “I’m not afraid. I’ve treated patients with


    simr conditions in the past and have suffered from this condition previously. Therefore, I won’t be


    infected anymore.”


    Even Lucian was momentarily stupefied to hear that, mistakenly assuming that she was speaking the


    truth.


    Este scrutinized Roxanne suspiciously for a long time. Only when she had ascertained that thetter


    didn’t seem to be lying, and she was indeed feeling so awful that she couldn’t put up with it any longer


    did she slowly inch over to Roxanne and stretch her hand out.


    Roxanne stroked her head tofort her before reaching out and taking her wrist to diagnose her


    condition.


    At the side, Lucian stared at the woman in front of him with a dark look in his eyes.

    Her expression when she spoke earlier had me duped as well. But on second thought, she hadn’t even


    checked Essie over. So, how could she have known whether her condition was contagious? Thus, her


    words earlier were only meant to console Essie.


    By the time realization dawned upon him, Roxanne had already started taking Este’s pulse. There


    was no point in him saying anything then. A strange feeling welled within him.


    She has no idea of her rtionship with Essie, yet she’s willing to take such a colossal risk to diagnose


    and treat her…


    For a moment, he even regretted bringing Este over.


    I should’ve brought Essie to the hospital. At the very least, I could have prevented Roxanne from being


    infected.


    While Roxanne was checking Este over, Archie and Benny trotted in curiously.


    Earlier, they vaguely heard some noise outside, so they got up to have a look. To their sheer surprise,


    they spotted Lucian’s car in the courtyard.


    They initially thought that he came alone, so they wanted toe over and sneak a look to ascertain


    whether the two adults were having a row again.


    Unexpectedly, no sooner had they reached Roxanne’s bedroom door than they caught sight of Este


    sitting on Roxanne’s bed pitifully with red spots dotting her exposed wrist and neck. She appeared as


    though she was gravely ill.


    Seeing that, they both wore worried expressions on their faces. They hastily sprinted over to the bed to


    have a look at Este.


    In the room, both adults were preupied with their respective thoughts. Este, on the other hand,


    was itching badly. No one noticed Archie and Benny’s approach.


    Lucian was the first to notice them.


    When he saw them dashing in without warning, his brows abruptly knitted together, and he warned in a


    deep voice, “Don’te in.”


    Regretfully, it was already toote. Archie and Benny gingerly touched Este’s neck with worry written


    all over their faces. “What’s wrong with Essie, Mommy?”


    It wasn’t until Roxanne heard their voices that she jolted back to reality and shifted her gaze away from


    Este’s wrist.


    The instant sheid eyes on their outstretched hands, her pupils constricted.


    Withdrawing their hands, Archie and Benny looked at each other in bemusement.


    “How itchy!” Benny lowered his head and nced at his wrist, only to see red spots simr to the ones


    on Este’s neck dotting his wrist.
