Mission To Remarry novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122 She Finally Recovered

For the entire day, Roxanne was there with Estella.

Despite that, Estella never responded.

As darkness fell, Roxanne had to leave, albeit unwillingly.

“I will visit you again tomorrow. You have to get better, okay?” Roxanne hugged Estella tight.

Archie and Benny too, embraced her.

When the three of them were about to leave, Roxanne felt a force pulling the corner of her skirt.

Stunned, she turned around. Estella’s gaze was still fixated somewhere else, without any emotion, but her hand remained gripped on Roxanne’s skirt tightly.

At the door, Lucian and James exchanged glances, shocked.

They thought that Estella completely shut herself off and would not respond to any external stimuli.

Much to their surprise, Estella could feel Roxanne’s presence. On top of that, she didn’t want Roxanne to leave.

Roxanne almost lost her breath. She stood there for a few seconds before gradually walking back to Estella. She squatted down and looked her in the eyes warmly. “Essie, you know I’m here, right?”

Estella’s eyes still looked blank, but her hands remained gripped on Roxanne’s skirt.

Archie and Benny quickly asked, “Mommy, can we bring Essie back with us?”

Bring Essie back with us!

Roxanne was tempted slightly, and she apprehensively looked toward the duo standing at the door.

If Estella was willing to tag along, Roxanne had no hesitation in taking Estella under her wing.

However, Roxanne feared that Estella was not willing to leave her father.

James’ expression stiffened. “I think that’s fine. It’s a huge improvement to even see Essie respond to something. Perhaps her chances of recovery will be significantly higher if she stays with you for a while.”

Finishing his sentence, James turned toward Lucian.

Roxanne replied calmly, “I’ve said this, and I will say it again. The child is innocent, and I will take good care of her.”

Lucian did not overstay his welcome. Seeing that they had set up Estella’s room, he bid goodbye and left after that.

Roxanne felt strange.

Lucian confidently left Estella with me, just like that?

However, her attention was subsequently directed back to Estella, and her lingering thoughts immediately vanished.

Outside Roxanne’s house, Lucian’s expression darkened almost immediately. He then took out his phone and rang Aubree.

“Lucian, is there anything wrong?” Aubree’s said coyly.

Most of the time, it was Aubree who took the initiative to call Lucian. Hence, she was surprised to see Lucian calling her back, thinking that he had finally realized the good in her.

Lucian’s voice was cold and distant. “Meet me half an hour at Lake Frosa.”

Then, he put down the phone.
