Chapter 771 I Am Sorry
Shortly after, Archie’s arm also started itching. Archie and Benny gazed at Roxanne nkly, not
understanding what had happened to them.
A glint of self-recrimination shed across Roxanne’s eyes when she saw that they had both gotten
infected.
If only I had closed the door earlier, I would’ve noticed their entry in time and stopped them from
approaching. Then, they wouldn’t have gotten infected…
“It’s so itchy, Mommy.” With a frown marring his countenance, Benny stretched out his hand to scratch
the itch.
“Don’t touch it!” Roxanne hastily ordered.
As her words rang out, Lucian stepped forward and grabbed Archie and Benny’s hands to prevent
them from simply scratching their itches.
Just now, he didn’t dare touch them out of consideration that he was already infected. That was why he
didn’t physically stop them.
Since they had also been infected then, that was no longer a worry.
Meanwhile, Este already had that experience. While refraining from scratching her body, she pinned
her eyes on Archie and Benny as she apologized, “I’m sorry. This is all on me…”
When Archie and Benny heard that, they endured the itch assailing them andforted her instead.
“We asked for it. It has nothing to do with you.”
After saying that, it urred to them that Este had suffered such torment for an indeterminably long
time. Gritting their teeth, they turned solemn and said to Lucian, “Let go of us, Mr. Farwell. We won’t
scratch anywhere!”
Since Essie can endure it, we can naturally do the same! We need to be good role models for her!
Lucian eyed them both skeptically. Only when he was sure he couldn’t detect any signs of lying did he
slowly loosen his hold on them.
Sure enough, Archie and Benny didn’t touch the red spots on their bodies throughout it all.

“Ms. Jarvis…” Este muttered with much difficulty out of the blue.
Roxanne’s heart lurched. She dropped her hand from Este’s wrist and touched the girl’s face instead.
When they came over earlier, the red spots hadn’t yet spread to her face.
Right then, however, her entire face was stained red.
With a single touch, Roxanne discovered that Este was already running a slight fever. At once, her
heart sank.
“What’s wrong?” Lucian inquired with a frown, his expression likewise darkening a shade.
Shaking her head, Roxanne merely murmured, “I’m stepping out to make a call.”
After saying that, she instructed the three children, “I’m going out for a while. Don’t touch the red spots
on your bodies.”
In response, the children nodded obediently.
Having obtained their agreement, Roxanne pivoted and left the room.
His brows scrunching together, Lucian touched Este’s forehead. Upon detecting that she was
running a fever, he initially wanted to step out after Roxanne to ask about her condition. But it was clear
that someone needed to keep the childrenpany, so he could only give that n up.
At the door, Roxanne rolled up her sleeves and took a gander at her arm. Unsurprisingly, red spots had
also manifested on her arm.
Since they were adults, their resistance was stronger than children. For that reason, Archie and Benny
developed a reaction as soon as they touched Este, while she and Lucian were infected slowly.
If her diagnosis was correct, Este’s symptoms obviously indicated an allergy due to bacterial
infection.
As time dragged on, the symptoms would only worsen.
She and Lucian would still be fine, but the three children would inevitably have to suffer quite a bit.
Worse still, Este had already developed subsequent symptoms.
At the thought of the children inside, Roxanne didn’t dare dy things anymore. She whipped out her
phone and called Colby right away.
She initially thought that she would have to wait for a while before he answered, as it waste at night.
Unexpectedly, the person on the other end picked up the call mere seconds after it was connected.
