Roxanne felt her heart ached when she saw that. With a pat on Estella's head, she said, “I went out today and accidentally tore my wound open. I'm fine now.”
Estella's eyes were already turning red. “Does it hurt?”
The woman's heart softened. “Not at all. I don't feel a thing.”
Then, she glanced at Lucian and changed the subject to be about him. “Besides, your daddy was very careful when he bandaged my wound. You can ask him whether my injury is severe or not.”
Estella's attention was swiftly shifted to her father as she sought his answer.
Lucian couldn't help but raise his eyebrow when Roxanne mentioned him. Still, he nodded at the child. “She'll recover quickly if she gets the rest she needs.”
Everything he said, the girl believed what he said without any question. She sniffed and nodded obediently.
Roxanne initially wanted to ask Lucian to take Estella home after letting Estella know she was fine.
However, seeing Estella like that made it hard for her to chase the girl away.
Due to Roxanne's injury, the boys didn't play around as they did before. Instead, they just sat next to her quietly.
After a while, Lysa finished preparing their meal and called for them. “The meal is ready! Come and eat!”
Upon hearing that, Roxanne subconsciously glanced at Lucian.
She was about to say he shouldn't stay for the meal, but then she heard the boys say, “Mommy, can Essie eat with us?”
The boys saw how happy the girl was on the way back, and so they hoped she would get to spend more time with their mother.
