Chapter 860


    Chapter 860 Este Was Unwell


    Roxanne left Herbscape Group and drove straight to the Farwell residence. Less than twenty minutes


    later, her Mercedes-Benz slowly rolled to a stop in front of the manor entrance.


    She rang the doorbell frantically, and it was not long before Catalina answered the inte. “Mrs.—”


    Catalina began without thinking when she saw the person on the screen. However, she quickly caught


    herself and changed what she was saying. “Ms. Jarvis.”

    Too worried about Este crying, Roxanne had no time to pay attention to the little details. “Hurry up


    and let me in, Catalina. How’s Essie?”


    Catalina sighed inwardly when she saw how anxious Roxanne looked. “You’re toote. Mr. Lucian has


    taken Ms. Este out.” Roxanne’s expression froze when she heard that reply.


    I thought Lucian only said that in a fit of anger. I can’t believe he’d actually be so cruel. Since Essie


    hasn’t seen me, she must still be bawling her eyes out.


    The thought of that brought Roxanne to her senses, and she asked in a low voice, “Do you know where


    he took her?”


    Catalina hesitated for a split second. However, the recollection of Lucian’s parting instruction made her


    shake her head. The light in Roxanne’s eyes went out, and a wave of regret washed over her. If only I’d


    arrived a little earlier…


    “Why don’t you give Mr. Farwell a call?” Catalina could not stop herself from suggesting. Although she


    felt bad for Este when Roxanne did not promise toe over immediately, she could not bear to see


    the look on Roxanne’s face.


    Indeed, Roxanne was so anxious that she had forgotten she could do so. Thanks to Catalina’s


    reminder, she suddenly realized that was what she should do.


    “Thank you. I’ll call him right away!” With that, she fished out her phone from her bag, pulled up


    Lucian’s number, and made the call. However, as soon as the call connected, it was declined just as it


    started ringing.


    Then, the sound of a femaleputer-generated voice rang out. She tried calling again immediately,


    but the same thing happened several times.


    He’s evidently angry at me. I’m afraid he probably won’t pick up my calls for now. As the realization


    dawned on her, guilt welled within her. All I can do is try my luck and send Lucian a message. I wonder


    how Este is…


    Meanwhile, Este’s cries grew louder and pierced the air whenever the phone rang as they made their


    way to James’ clinic. “Ms. Jarvis!”


    Nheless, Lucian remained unmoved and did not hesitate to decline the calls as soon as his phone


    rang. Despite hearing Este’s sobs, he denied that the calls were from Roxanne in a chilly tone, “No,


    it’s not Ms. Jarvis. She’s still busy working.”


    Este’s wails soon grew weaker again and gradually turned into whimpers.


    Lucian nced at her through the rearview mirror and saw that although her cries were much softer,


    tears continued streaming down her cheeks.


    The sight of that caused his gaze to darken. Spotting the message notification that popped up on his


    phone screen, he frowned and swiftly dismissed it. Then, he called to ask James to spare some time


    for him.


    Upon learning that Este was unwell, James agreed at once. After ending the call, Lucian could stop


    himself from tapping on the message Roxanne had sent.


    Roxanne: Sorry for beingte. Where are you and Essie? I’ll rush over there immediately. A scornful


    look shed in his eyes after he read the message. Then he closed the message interface.
