Estella’s gaze was glued to Roxanne’s back, tears rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably. Archie and Benny were equally miserable. They did not expect Roxanne to be so heartless. When they saw that the girl was crying, they went over and consoled her.“Don’t cry, Essie. Mommy is really busy these few days. You can always come over and play once Mommy is free again,” Benny cajoled with a smile, yet his attempt was futile.When Archie saw that Estella was still sobbing, he took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears as he comforted her, “We can still play together at the kindergarten, Essie. Mommy really likes you because you’re a good girl, so don’t cry. You’ll look ugly if you keep crying, and Mommy doesn’t like that.”Estella stopped and looked at the boy with doubt in her eyes.“Yeah! Archie’s right,” Benny quickly chimed in with a nod. “Mommy doesn’t like kids who cry.”It was not until then that Estella finally held back her tears with much effort.An inexplicable glint shone

Unbeknownst to Roxanne, Aubree had begun to plot against her. She was too occupied with the research she had to do. Her busyness was not entirely an excuse to send Estella home.If the children had not insisted that she took a day off because of her injured wrist, she would not have taken a break from her research work.Early the next morning, Roxanne was awakened by a call from her teammate. After a brief conversation, she rushed over to the research institute without even having the time to have a bite of breakfast.The beginning and end phases of a research project were usually the hardest parts. At the start of the project, Roxanne had dedicated so much time to it that she would spend days at the research facility.Since they were then at the final stage of the project, things were picking up again.Colby, who was still a*sisting Roxanne on the project, was alarmed when he saw the injury on her wrist while they were conducting an experiment. “Dr. Jarvis… Your hand…”Roxanne was s

Meanwhile, Estella had been waiting at the kindergarten entrance way before school started that morning, hoping she could see Roxanne, Archie, and Benny.The brothers had told her the day before that Roxanne was finally coming home and would be fetching them to school.The night before, she had also waited for Roxanne eagerly, but in the end, she only saw Madilyn.She felt disappointed at first, yet when she knew that Roxanne had a message for her, she was comforted because it meant Roxanne still thought about her.That was the reason why she was not altogether upset, and she was looking forward to seeing Roxanne the next day.However, not only did she not see Roxanne, but she also did not see the two brothers at school.That made her extremely sad.“Essie! Come on in! It’s almost time for school!” Pippa did not call out until school was about to start since she did not know what the kid was doing.Estella pouted and shook her head in refusal.“What’s going on?” Pippa asked.Ever sinc

Just as Roxanne was stumped, the man’s figure appeared in the doorway.Upon seeing the woman on the bed, Lucian furrowed his brows.With just a glance, he could already see that the woman’s fever was worse than the previous time.“Mr. Farwell.” When Roxanne realized she could not avoid him anymore, she had no choice but to greet him in an aloof tone. However, that was all she did before averting his eyes, for she did not intend to speak much to him.When Lucian sensed that the woman was still trying to keep a distance from him, his eyes darkened. Then, he turned to the side to say to Sonny, “Please take a look at her.”Sonny nodded in response and stepped forward to give Roxanne a checkup.Roxanne knitted her brows when she saw the unfamiliar man appear in her bedroom. But as her mind was fuzzy from the fever, she could not react in time to his action.“This is the Farwell family’s family doctor. I brought him over to take a look at you,” Lucian said in a low voice.A trace of resista

A ruthless look crossed Aubree’s face after she ended the call. She then made another call and said a few words to the person on the other end of the line.That day was a weekend, and Aubree drove to the Farwell residence early in the morning.Sonya was in the middle of her breakfast when Aubree came in. Almost immediately, Sonya smiled at her. “You’re early. Have you had your breakfast? Do you want to sit down and eat something?”Aubree shook her head. “No, thank you. I’ve come to pick you up.”Sonya did not insist. As she ate her breakfast, she chatted away with Aubree.After Sonya finished her breakfast, Aubree brought her to the shopping district.“Mrs. Farwell, how has Essie been?” Aubree asked nonchalantly when they were on their way to their destination. “I’m worried about her. But after that day, I haven’t been able to meet her.”Sonya’s expression turned solemn at the mention of Estella. “That incident has frightened Essie. Moreover, her condition has been unstable recently.
