The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 290

Archie and Benny had already gotten up when Roxanne arrived home. They promptly asked about Estella.

The boys were delighted to learn that Estella could talk again.

As Roxanne's wrist was injured, the boys refused to let her do anything and stayed by her side the entire day.

The following day, Roxanne wanted to head to work at the research institute, but the boys insisted that she stay at home.

“Mommy, you're hurt. You should rest at home.” Benny shot her an imploring look.

Archie chimed in, “We're afraid you'll fall ill, just like last time.”

They could still remember how they had freaked out when Roxanne got sick previously.

Roxanne knew the kids were worried about her. As her wrist was hurt, it would be difficult for her to work. Hence, she bobbed her head in agreement.

After breakfast, the doorbell rang.

Roxanne got to her feet and answered the door.

She was taken aback by the unexpected visitors. “Why are you here?”

Clad in a casual coat, Lucian held Estella's hand. Estella was holding an exquisite bag with something inside.

Hearing her question, Lucian nodded and gestured to Essie. “Essie is worried and wants to deliver medicine to you.”

Estella offered the bag she brought with her to Roxanne, affirming her father's words. “Ms. Jarvis, medicine.”

Lucian was used to how fond Estella was of Roxanne, so he wasn't surprised to hear her talk.

Roxanne's heart melted when she heard Estella's adorable voice. She took the bag from the girl and patted her head. “Thank you, Essie.”

When Essie used to stay with us, we loved playing with Lego blocks. Perhaps she'll forget what happened yesterday if we play together!

Comprehension dawned on Roxanne. It turns out Essie is worried about my injury.
