    Chapter 782 Pack Your Things


    Aubree was stunned for a few seconds. Suppressing the panic in her heart, she approached him with


    concern written all over her face and pretended not to know anything about what had happened


    yesterday. “Lucian, what’s going on?”


    Lucian looked at the person in front of him expressionlessly and interrogatively. Things had been


    chaoticst night. He had only heard Roxanne say that Este’s symptoms were due to a bacterial


    allergy.


    As for where the bacterium came from, he hadn’t had the time to think about it until he carefully


    recalled what had happened when he was on the way back.


    Everything had been fine before Aubree arrived at the manor. However, the bacterium had shown up


    the same time as her.


    Lucian couldn’t help but suspect the woman in front of him.


    Aubree’s heart clenched when he nced at her. She pinched her palm to calm herself down, then


    asked innocently, “I heard from the housekeepers that there’s a bacterium in the house. It can’t be true,


    can it? The house is cleaned daily, so where did the bacteriume from?”


    Lucian furrowed his brows. I don’t notice anything odd by observing her face. Then again, I’ve never


    noticed how she has been treating Essie behind my back or even in front of me for six years.


    At that thought, he looked away instead of investigating further. If she’s the one who did it, I’ll find out


    sooner orter.


    “Essie’s allergy was suddenly triggeredst night. I took her for a checkup and was told that she had


    come in contact with an infectious bacterium,” Lucian said, then nced at Aubree meaningfully.


    “Looks like you weren’t infected. I suppose I don’t need to bring bad news to Mr. Pearson.”


    Aubree was stunned. She wondered if it was a good or bad thing that she wasn’t infected. Steeling


    herself, she changed the topic and asked, “Essie had an allergic reaction? How is she?”

    Lucian looked at her silently.


    “Why did youe back all by yourself? Is anyone taking care of Essie right now?” Aubree stubbornly


    put on an act despite hisck of response.


    However, Lucian continued to remain silent. Unable to go on with her one-woman show, she asked


    sheepishly, “Where is she? I’ll go and visit her.”


    Lucian pursed his lips and replied, “You don’t have to. Essie has recovered.”


    An imperceptible astonishment shed past Aubree’s eyes. How did she recover so quickly? Frieda


    said that kind of bacterium is very difficult to detect. It’ll take normal doctors days to find the cause and


    even longer than that toe up with a treatment. But he doesn’t seem to be lying. He also doesn’t


    have any reason to lie to me about Essie’s condition.


    Aubree forced herself to calm down, then shed a casual smile at Lucian. “I’m d that Essie’s fine.


    Her body has always been quite weak since she was a child. She must have been terrified this time.”


    Lucian ignored her question and scanned the room. Besides the woman in front of me, who else could


    have brought the bacterium here…


    “It’s done, Mr. Farwell,” Catalina reported after she and the other housekeepers sanitized the entire


    mansion.


    Lucian nodded and ordered, “Investigate who had left the manor for a long time in the past few days.”


    “Will do, Mr. Farwell.”


    Aubree panicked a little when she heard that Lucian nned to investigate the matter thoroughly. Her


    heart clenched again as she pretended to avert her gaze from Lucian calmly.


    “Pack your things. I’ll send you back,” Lucian said in a deep voice.
