Chapter 861 Daddy Is Lying

Soon, Lucian stopped his car in front of James' psychiatric clinic. As Lucian had made the call while he was on the way, James was already waiting at the door.

"Let me do it," James offered as he stepped forward. He reached out to Estella and said gently, "Essie, good girl. Let me carry you."

Estella shook her head and choked out, "I want Ms. Jarvis..."

James couldn't help but frown in confusion and glance at Lucian.
