The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 717 Not As Terrified As Before

Roxanne had no idea what Estella whispered next to Lucian's ear. All she knew was that the man looked at her meaningfully after Estella had spoken to him before denying in a low voice, "No."

No sooner had he said that than they both swung their gazes at her. Lucian wore a bizarrely innocent expression, while suspicion was written all over Estella's face.

The question Estella asked her when they were in the backyard earlier flashed across Roxanne's mind. Complemented by their expressions, she felt that she could surmise the situation to a tee.

At the thought of Estella's determination to avenge her, Roxanne was both amused and exasperated. After a few seconds of silence, she stepped forward and started, "Essie is exceedingly worried about you, so I'd best take a look at you. Besides, it's a problem if you keep having insomnia."

In other words, she was trying to tell him that she only decided to treat him for Estella's sake.

When Lucian heard that, he quirked an eyebrow and glanced at his daughter beside him.
