Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 1175

However, an inexplicable sense of unease swamped Estella. She felt so aggrieved that her eyes turned red-rimmed. “No, I want you, Daddy!”

Perturbed, Lucian massaged his temples and tried to console his daughter by saying patiently, “Essie... I'll be home very soon.”

Unexpectedly, Estella suddenly demanded, “I want Ms. Jarvis!”

At the mention of Roxanne, Lucian's heart promptly sank.

Is this a coincidence? Why did she bring it up today, of all days, when she's been waiting for Roxanne for days on end?

“Be good, Essie. Your daddy is busy with work. I'll take good care of you.”

Hastily cutting Estella off, Aubree brought the phone to her ear, afraid that Estella would burst into tears if she continued with the conversation.

If that happened, she would really have no way of explaining things to Lucian.

“Go and get busy, Lucian. Don't worry, for I'll get Essie home safely!”

Naturally, Lucian could hear the agitation in Estella's voice. But in comparison with Roxanne's current condition, he hadn't the time to attend to his daughter.

Thus, he merely went silent for a few seconds following Aubree's promise before acquiescing tersely.

After hanging up the phone, Aubree glanced at the rearview mirror.

Phew! Fortunately, she's merely tearing up and hasn't yet started crying. I suppose Lucian didn't notice anything amiss.

“Essie, Ms. Jarvis already has her own kids, so you can't cling to her so much. Besides, she often fights with your daddy. You should be siding with your daddy.”

She attempted to mislead Estella into staying away from Roxanne.

Estella, who was already in a bad mood that day, snorted angrily upon hearing disparaging remarks about Roxanne from Aubree. Crossing her arms, she said nothing.

The little girl's attitude caused Aubree to grit her teeth in vexation and forced herself to suppress the wrath within her.

At the hospital, time continued ticking by.

It was already seven o'clock at night, and four to five hours had passed since Roxanne was wheeled into the emergency room.
