Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289 I Will Take You There

Lucian was resolute. Aubree had no choice but to leave with her head hung low.

Elias and Sonya stayed back for a while to spend time with Estella.

No matter how hard they tried, Estella remained disinterested. The little girl refused to write any words even though Sonya gave her a pen and paper. She would only nod or shake her head at any questions they posed.

Sonya felt bad for Estella, as she knew the little girl was traumatized by last night’s events.

The only thing she could do was to spend more time with Estella.

When night arrived, Sonya got to her feet reluctantly. “Should I bring Essie back so I can take care of her? You’re busy, and I’m afraid you can’t take care of her well.”

Lucian rejected her offer outright. “No, thanks.”

After what happened last night, he refused to let Estella go anywhere.

As he refused to give in, Sonya said nothing else. She talked to Estella briefly before leaving with her husband.

After they left, Lucian redressed Estella’s wound and led her upstairs so she could go to bed.

Estella stared at her wound silently and showed no response to his words.

Frowning, Lucas asked, “Does your wound hurt?”

Estella lifted her head and shook her head.

“What’s wrong? Tell me,” Lucian said patiently.

Pursing her lips, Estella pointed at the medicine on the table and took the pen to write “Ms. Jarvis” on the paper.

The next morning, Estella woke him up by shaking his body repeatedly.

Opening his eyes groggily, he saw that Estella had already changed her outfit and was waiting for him to leave.

It took him a while before he realized Estella wanted to leave right away to give Roxanne the medicine.

“Okay. I’ll take you there,” Lucian promised her solemnly.

Climbing out of bed, he washed up and brought her downstairs.

Downstairs, Estella ran to the medical kit and found the medicine she had used last night. She placed the medicine beside her when she was having breakfast so they could leave after breakfast.

Lucian sighed when he saw her action.

Perhaps this is their mother-and-daughter bond. They are both worried about each other. I’m worried about Roxanne, too. Those who had no idea what happened to her might think she was seriously wounded judging from Essie’s reaction.
