Chapter 303 She Left By Herself
“Ms. Jarvis…” At the sight of Roxanne lying on the bed with a sickly complexion, Estella felt tears welling up in her eyes again.
Estella’s voice made Roxanne’s heart melt. Seeing the little girl come running toward her bedside, she forced a smile. “I’m fine. Don’t worry, Essie.”
Like a pitiful kitten, Estella leaned by the bedside and stared at Roxanne with teary eyes.
Estella’s gaze calmed Roxanne down significantly. “Why are you here alone?” Roxanne asked in a gentle voice.
“Ms. Ward says you’re sick.” Estella was close to tears.
Roxanne nodded and reached out to caress the little girl’s head. “Thank you for caring so much about me, Essie.”

Similarly, Estella also stretched her arm out, intending to touch Roxanne’s forehead.
Roxanne had let them do a fever check by touching her forehead the other time. She could still vividly recall how Roxanne’s forehead was burning then.
When Roxanne realized what Estella was trying to do, she tried to get up from the bed and move her head closer to the young girl. Nevertheless, unable to muster any strength in her arm, she had only propped herself up a little before she fell back onto the bed again.
Worry was written all over Estella’s face.
Roxanne smiled apologetically. “If you’re worried, how about you get on the bed too?”
Estella removed her shoes without hesitation and climbed up onto the bed to touch Roxanne’s forehead lightly.
Panic filled the girl’s eyes when her palm came into contact with Roxanne.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lucian’s deep voice sounded from the other end. “I got it. Please excuse Essie from school today too. Thank you.”
After Pippa agreed to the request, the man concluded the call and called Cayden over. “I’m heading over to Roxanne’s. Help me get Dr. Elswick.”
Sonny Elswick was the family doctor of the Farwell family. He had impressive medical skills but basically only worked for the family.
Cayden knew Lucian’s motive for calling Sonny was to ask the latter to treat Roxanne. He was undoubtedly getting increasingly perplexed about Lucian’s feelings toward Roxanne but still went ahead to agree to the instructions.
Sonny arrived relatively quickly. Lucian had waited for his arrival before heading to Roxanne’s with him.
Having known Roxanne’s attitude toward him lately, he figured she would possibly not let him into the house if he had gone there alone.
Hence, it was more than wise to bring a doctor along.
