Mission To Remarry Novel Chapter 767 – She Had Never Suffered Like That
oxanne had just fallen into a deep sleep when she was suddenly awakened by her phone ringing.
Groggily, she felt for her phone on the bedside table and answered the call. “Who’s this?” Lucian furrowed his brows slightly, then said in a deep voice,
“It’s me.” Hearing his voice gave her a jolt, and her mind suddenly felt much more awake. “What’s the matter?”
He looked down at the girl in his arms. Estella was sobbing while attempting to lower her head and look at herself.
Lucian tightened his arms around her, then explained everything to Roxanne. “There are suddenly a lot of red spots on Essie’s body, and they itch a lot.
I just woke her up. If it’s convenient for you, I’ll bring her over for you to check on her.”
As soon as Roxanne learned that Estella was unwell, the last vestiges of sleepiness vanished. Getting dressed while climbing out of bed, she said, “Sure.
I’ll wait here for you.” After murmuring a reply, he hung up and patted Estella’s head. “There’s a good girl.
e’ll go and let Ms. Jarvis take a look at you, and everything will be fine,” he said in a reassuring tone.
Despite her condition, Estella nodded obediently upon hearing that she would be able to see Roxanne soon.
he leaned against Lucian’s shoulder weakly and said pleadingly, “Daddy, it itches so bad.” It worried Lucian terribly to see her so unwell.
Alas, the only thing he could do was free a hand and lightly scratch at her skin through her clothes with the tips of his fingers to relieve her discomfort.
He carried her all the way downstairs. Just then, Catalina happened to come out of her room to get some water.
When the woman saw Lucian and Estella, she asked in confusion, “Mr. Farwell, where are you taking Ms. Estella in the middle of the night?”
He paused his footsteps, then turned and enquired, “Were there red spots on Essie’s body when you were helping her wash up?”
Catalina’s heart sank a little as she glanced at Estella in concern. Her face was etched with worry when she noticed the red spots dotting Estella’s
body.
“She was fine during her bath. How did this happen?” “I’m taking her to get it checked,” he responded without asking further questions.
He was about to leave when Catalina quickly called out to him. She reached for a throw from the couch and wrapped it around Estella.
“Since it’s chilly outside and Ms. Estella isn’t feeling well, it’ll be better to wrap up.”
Lucian nodded, watching as the woman tucked the throw around Estella. After that, he proceeded to carry Estella out of the house.
Catalina sighed worriedly as she watched the pair leave, then went to pour herself some water.
I’m not sure whether it’s an illusion from seeing the red spots on Estella’s skin, but I’m starting to feel some itchiness on my body too.
Lucian carried Estella to the car and had just placed her down when she started clawing at her irritated skin again.
His expression darkened, and he said sternly, “Don’t do that, Essie.” Estella pouted at those words, tears brimming in her eyes.
I don’t want to do so, either. It hurts and itches when I scratch at it. It’s absolutely unbearable. But if I don’t, it’s torturous!
Her aggrieved expression made his heart ache, and he gently stroked her head.
After all, she had been pampered since she was little and had never suffered like that.
Recalling how Roxanne usually spoke to Estella, Lucian tried his best to soften his tone and say a few words of comfort.
“Everything will be fine when you see Ms. Jarvis. She’ll make you feel better. If you keep doing that, it’ll leave scars. That’d be an ugly sight.”
Estella finally nodded obediently at the mention of Roxanne.
