No matter how she thought about it, Aubree just couldn’t calm down.

It wasn’t until she gave Cory a call that she found out about Roxanne’s discharge from the hospital.

Without a doubt, the news further unsettled her.

After much contemplation, she steeled herself and gave Lucian a call.

Despite gritting her teeth, she maintained a caring tone. “Lucian, I just received a call from Ms. Yaxley saying that Essie has missed school recently. Is she not feeling well?”

The moment she finished, Aubree felt her heart tense up as if she was afraid of hearing Lucian say that Estella was at Roxanne’s.

Furrowing his brows in brief silence, Lucian replied, “Essie is at my mom’s. You don’t have to bother. As for the teacher, just inform her that Essie is sick.”
