Hearing that, Estella started applying the medicine to Roxanne's wound meticulously.
Beside them, Lucian said, “After I redressed her wound last night, she wanted to bring the medicine to you. If I hadn't stopped her, she would've come last night.”
The little girl's gesture moved Roxanne. Glancing at Estella, who was bandaging her wrist, she said gratefully, “Thank you, Essie.”
Estella lifted her head and flashed a faint smile.
Archie and Benny watched as Estella applied the medicine to Roxanne's wrist. They were about to speak, but Lucian's stern voice caused them to frown in displeasure.
After Estella went missing yesterday, they got so worried and didn't bother expressing their emotions to Lucian.
Now that Estella was safe and sound, Archie and Benny felt that her disappearance was somewhat his fault.
He knew Essie hated that evil woman but allowed her to get close to Essie! Mommy didn't bring Essie with her as the woman was there. That bad woman also bullied Mommy previously! It was all your fault.
With that thought in mind, the boys didn't bother being nice to Lucian.
Sensing the strange ambiance, Lucian lowered his head and saw the boys glaring at him as though he were a ferocious beast.
The boys pouted when they realized he was looking at them. “Mr. Farwell, you brought Essie here to deliver the medicine to Mommy. The medicine is here, and Essie has applied it to Mommy's wound. Is that all?”
Lucian's brows snapped together as he let out a noncommittal grunt.
“Please leave now!” Archie and Benny lifted their heads to look at Lucian, as he was taller than them. Despite their young age, they looked intimidating.
That was the first time Lucian had ever been asked to leave by the kids. His brows twitched, but he said nothing.
I could be imagining it, but the boys seem incredibly hostile today, even though they are usually hostile to me.
