    Chapter 780 Tag Along


    After the examination, Roxanne stood up and asked Lucian to leave, not giving him any more


    opportunity to speak to the kids.


    “Since it’s already morning, you should hurry up and bring Essie home, Mr. Farwell. You should


    thoroughly sanitize your house and do it as soon as possible.”


    There was no room left to object to her suggestion. Lucian raised his brows while wearing an indifferent


    expression. Then, he gazed downward at Este.


    She pouted in reluctance. “You can go back on your own, Daddy.” Este was still feeling a little


    insecure after having just recovered from the sudden and severe illnessst night.


    She thought she could spend more time ying with Roxanne, Archie, and Benny that day, but


    unexpectedly, Roxanne appeared anxious to chase her away right after she woke up.


    Lucian and Roxanne frowned at the same time after hearing Este’s words. However, the thoughts


    that shed across their minds were entirely different.


    Beforest night, she would have allowed Este to stay at her ce without hesitation.


    Yet, after her conversation with Lucian the night before, Roxanne had to consider Este’s biological


    mother.


    In her opinion, Este was overly-attached to her because the little girl could acquire motherly affection


    from her. Having said that, Roxanne knew she was not Este’s mother after all. I cannot let Essie


    continue to think of me as her mother because sooner orter, her real mother will return.


    On the other hand, Lucian was displeased because he sensed Roxanne’s hesitation.


    “Essie…” Roxanne opened her mouth and only managed to call out Este’s name as she did not


    know how to refuse the little girl.


    A hint of mockeryced Lucian’s deep voice as he said, “Ms. Jarvis, ording to what you’ve said, my


    house should still be contaminated with bacteria. If that’s the case, I’m afraid it’ll be inconvenient for me


    to bring Essie home. Since you’re unavable to look after her, I’ll have no choice but to send her to the


    company.”

    He was implying that he would leave Este at the office and return home by himself to handle the


    sanitization of his house.


    Roxanne looked up and nced at him in bewilderment after hearing that. She had the urge to


    question whether he could really bring himself to do that when Este had just recovered from her


    illness.


    However, before she could say anything, Roxanne suddenly realized Lucian’s suggestion was no


    different from what she was doing. If I let Essie stay, he won’t have to leave her alone at the office.


    “I don’t want to go to the office!” Este tugged at the hem of Roxanne’s clothes pitifully.


    Roxanne looked down and met with the little girl’srge, watery eyes. In the end, she conceded. “Why


    don’t you stay here and hang out with Archie and Benny, Essie?”


    With that, she turned around to gaze at Lucian and said resolutely, “The disinfection process should not


    be dyed any longer. You should hurry up and go back, Mr. Farwell.”


    He stared at her for a few moments before nodding in response. Then, he spun on his heels and left


    the kids’ room.


    Roxanne loaded the remaining bottle of sprays in his car and reminded him in detail about the proper


    way to disinfect the house.


    “Feel free to tag along with me if you’re worried, Ms. Jarvis,” Lucian teased while arching his eyebrow.


    She fell silent immediately after hearing that and moved to one side. Soon, she watched as his car


    sped away and finally disappeared from her vision.


    Only then did she return to the mansion with a heavy heart.


    Although what Lucian didst night was over the line, Roxanne’s strong sense of responsibility and


    professional ethics as a doctor caused her to feel a little worried still. She was afraid he would contract


    the disease again during the disinfection process.
