Estella refused to go home with him because she wanted to see Roxanne. That was why Lucian had no choice but to wait at a corner.
Never had he expected to hear such news.
Estella gave Lucian an anxious look and grabbed his sleeve. “Ms. Jarvis-”
Lucian knew what his daughter wanted to ask, so he helped her finish her question. “What happened to Ms.
Jarvis?”
Lysa, who knew nothing about their story, told them what happened to Roxanne, “Ms. Jarvis hadn't been feeling well when she got home last night. I thought she was exhausted, but when I checked on her at noon, she had already come down with a fever. I have to get back to take care of her now.”
She then held the boys' hands and left.
Archie and Benny left in haste and did not even bid Estella goodbye.
Estella's eyes started turning red. She could not help but mumble in a soft voice, “Ms. Jarvis-”
Lucian looked at the little girl and hesitated for a moment. He then asked his driver to follow Lysa's car so that they could visit Roxanne.
The boys were so worried about their mother that they ran straight into her room. They did not even say anything when Lucian came into the house.
Lysa did not stop Lucian and Estella from going upstairs either.
Roxanne was woken up by the boys when they opened the door. She opened her eyes and saw two pairs of doe eyes staring at her.
“Mommy, how are you? You must be feeling very uncomfortable.” Archie touched her forehead and was taken aback by the heat.
Roxanne responded with a comforting smile. “It's just fever. It'll go away once I have enough sleep.”
Suddenly, she heard a little girl's voice. “Ms. Jarvis-”
