Capítulo 281

Roxanne estaba a punto de decirle a Lucian que podía arreglárselas para levantarse cuando él la

abrazó aún más fuerte.

No te muevas. De lo contrario, será difícil para mí subir”. Su voz sonaba un poco ronca.

Roxanne sintió una breve oleada de extraña emoción en el pecho al escuchar su voz. Ella se quedó

quieta después y permitió que él la sacara del agujero.

Ella se separó de su abrazo justo después de que escaparon a salvo del pozo.

“Sra–Sra. Jarvis, eres muy amable con la Sra. Estella”. Cayden no pudo evitar decir con nostalgia.

Se había sorprendido mucho cuando vio a Roxanne abrazando a Estella en el fondo del pozo antes.

Cayden ya estaba sorprendido de que Roxanne estuviera dispuesta a aventurarse en lo profundo del

bosque en medio de la noche para buscar a Estella. Inesperadamente, Roxanne incluso localizó a

Estella antes

ellos en el desierto.

If it weren’t for Roxanne, they wouldn‘t have known how long they needed to search.

Roxanne pursed her lips and smiled. “This is my obligation.”

Lucian gazed at her and piped up, “It‘s not your fault.”

Roxanne was dazed for a few seconds before she made sense of his words. When she realized that he

was comforting her, she did not know how to react.

“Essie ran oui in anger after she quarreled with Aubree. I am to be blamed for this matter. Essie is a

wilful child. I did not stop Aubree in time and took proper care of Essie,” Lucian explained sombrely

Roxanne felt a little less guilty after listening to him. She pursed her lips and expressed her gratitude to

Lucian, “Thank you.”

Lucian bent down to pick up the torchlight on the ground and said with all seriousness, “I should thank

you instead. Thank you for locating Essie.”

If Roxanne had not found Estella first, they might not have been able to discover this pit the latter had

fallen into,

They had walked in that direction earlier because they coincidentally noticed the light originating from

Roxanne‘s torchlight.

Roxanne glanced at Estella, who was now resting in Cayden‘s arms. “I wonder how Essie is. She was

here for so long. She must be scared out of her wits. She couldn‘t stop crying just now.”

Roxanne‘s heart ached when she was reminded of the way Estella bawled her eyes out earlier.

Lucian was in low spirits as well. “We can only check her condition when we return.

Holding Estella in his arms, Cayden uttered sympathetically, “Ms. Estella doesn‘t seem to have sustained

any serious external injuries. I‘m just afraid that…”

Estella suffered from psychological illness to begin with. Cayden was fearful that the unfortunate incident

would traumatize her and aggravate her existing condition.

Lucian and Roxanne could guess the rest of Cayden‘s unfinished sentence. Their faces darkened at that

possibility.

Along the way back, everyone kept quiet as a heavy atmosphere lingered in the air.

After arriving at the hotel, Lucian informed the good news of locating Estella in the WhatsApp group

before contacting his mother. Then, he instructed Cayden to handle the checkout procedure while he

brought Estella, Roxanne, Archic, and Benny back to the city and headed straight to the hospital.

Inside the car, Archie and Benny eyed Estella concernedly. “Mommy, will Essie be fine?”

Roxanne patted their heads and comforted them, “She‘ll be fine. Don‘t worry.”

Archie y Benny miraron a su madre y dijeron con el corazón dolorido: “Mami, te estás quedando sin

voz”.

Ella les sonrió sin decir una palabra.

A Roxanne no podía importarle menos perder la voz mientras pudiera encontrar a Estella.

Sentado en el asiento del pasajero, Lucian miró fijamente a Roxanne ya la niña en sus brazos a través

del espejo retrovisor con una mirada insondable en su rostro.

Pronto, el automóvil se detuvo frente a la entrada del hospital.

Cayden salió del auto, recibió a Estella de manos de Roxanne y corrió al hospital.
