Chapter 769 Still Need To Check Her Over

When Estella heard her father’s remark, her eyes flickered, and she retracted her hands. I’m already feeling

horrible, so I don’t want Ms. Jarvis to suffer as well.

Roxanne was inevitably stunned for a few seconds, surprised that Lucian was purely concerned about her. Oh God, I

misunderstood him…

Pursing her lips, she smiled and looked at Estella reassuringly. “It’s okay. Come here and let me hug you.” While

saying that, she held her arms out to the little girl to carry her into the house.

She could tell that Estella was scared to death then and yearned for her embrace. Alas, her outstretched arms

grasped empty air once more.

Estella wriggled into her father’s embrace, dodging Roxanne’s outstretched arms. She then shook her head at the

latter. “Daddy will carry me in.”

Roxanne’s heart promptly melted, knowing that Estella was afraid she would be infected. In the end, she relented

and followed them into the living room.

“Place her in my room,” she offered gently upon noticing the man faltering in his tracks.

Nodding, Lucian headed upstairs directly with Estella in his arms and went to Roxanne’s room.

After stepping foot into the room, however, he hesitated because he wasn’t sure where to place her.

If it’s really contagious, Roxanne might be infected if I were to place Essie onto her bed.

Entering right after him, Roxanne perceived his worry. She snagged a large blanket from the side and spread it over

the bed before motioning for him to place Estella down.

Only then did Lucian step forward and place Estella onto the bed.

Subsequently, Roxanne stepped forward and carefully removed the blanket wrapped around Estella.

The lighting outside was rather dim earlier. That aside, Estella was wrapped up like a burrito, so she merely knew

that the girl had red spots all over her body. She had no idea of the specific situation.

Estella docilely allowed her to do as she pleased.

When Roxanne had removed the blanket, a glimmer of shock flittered across her eyes at the red spots blanketing

Estella’s body.

Although she had expected her condition to be exceedingly severe long before Lucian arrived, she never imagined

it would be that bad.

It’s fortunate that he timely stopped Essie from simply scratching her body. Otherwise, her condition would be even

more severe.

“So? Is it serious?” Lucian asked with a frown, restraining Estella’s wrists in order to prevent her from moving

around.

At his question, Roxanne turned and cast him a look. The expression on her face was somewhat solemn. “I still

need to check her over.”

She could roughly tell the cause of Estella’s symptoms, but she still needed to take her pulse to be sure.

As soon as Lucian glimpsed her outstretched hand, the crease of his brows deepened. Ultimately, he admitted,

“Essie’s condition is contagious.”

During the drive over, his arm had also started itching. As time passed, the feeling soon grew increasingly intense.

On top of that, the affected area was seemingly expanding as well.

He hadn’t had the time to check himself over yet, but he was inwardly certain that he had already been infected by

Estella.

To avoid having her blame herself, he had been holding himself back and saying nothing. Nor did he exhibit any

irregularity.

Nonetheless, he still stopped Roxanne timely when she wanted to touch Estella.

Unexpectedly, contact between them both still ended up unavoidable.

Hearing that, both Roxanne and Estella were startled.

Snapping back to her senses, Roxanne instinctively swept her gaze over the man’s exposed skin, only to be greeted

by the sight of a few inconspicuous red spots looming at his collar.

The back of his neck, where Estella touched earlier, had also turned into an expanse of red spots.

Whoa! I wonder how he managed to endure it that he didn’t give anything away all this while.
