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."

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.
