With that in mind, Roxanne nodded and led him upstairs.
As Estella had already fallen asleep, the room was only illuminated by a night lamp at the time. Afraid that she would wake her up, Roxanne made sure to be extra careful and gentle.
While standing by the door with his hands in his pockets, Lucian shifted his gaze from Estella to the decoration in the room.
Not only did the room look exceptionally neat and tidy, but the dolls that Roxanne's kids brought over also added a warm and homely feel to it.
Looking at the room caused the anger that Lucian was suppressing to vanish completely and filled his heart up
with warmth.
After applying the ointment, Roxanne made sure that Estella was still fast asleep before getting up. “It's done.”
Her gaze met Lucian's the moment she turned around, and the two of them locked eyes in silence for a few seconds.
Eventually, Lucian snapped out of it and said with a nod, “Thanks.”
Roxanne then closed the door behind her and walked him downstairs.
After giving him a brief summary of Estella's condition, Roxanne tried to end the conversation when she saw that it was quite late. “It's getting late, so you should head back and get some rest. Don't worry; I'll take good care of Essie.”
Lucian nodded and got up from the couch. “I've spoken to the person in charge of the kindergarten. If you don't mind what happened before, you may let Archie and Benny continue studying there.”
Roxanne agreed to it immediately. “I will. Also, I think Essie should study there and hang out with the other kids too.”
Having her return to an environment that she's familiar with might just help improve her condition.
She then anxiously waited for Lucian's response as his permission was necessary for that to happen.
