Chapter 595 – Her Sudden Departure: A Tale of Love and Redemption (Lucian & Roxanne)

Lucian’s heart skipped a beat, and he swung his gaze in the direction where Archie was pointing.

Roxanne’s hand outside the covers seemingly twitched. In that instant, all three of them held their breaths as they stared at the hand unblinkingly.

A few seconds later, Roxanne’s pinkie curved slightly but returned to its initial state in the blink of an eye. It was as though that was merely their illusion.

Assuming that their mother would be regaining consciousness soon, Archie and Benny waited with anticipation. Alas, Roxanne remained motionless. Benny anxiously grabbed her hand. “Mommy, hurry up and wake up. I’m scared…”

Frowning deeply, Lucian went over to the door and summoned the specialists. “Her hand moved earlier. Why isn’t she awake yet?”

The specialists’ expressions turned grim when they heard that. One of the reputable doctors hurried over to the bed and performed a series of examinations on Roxanne. When he was done, he shook his head helplessly.

“What does that mean?” Lucian’s tone sounded incredibly cold. Meanwhile, Archie and Benny stared fixedly at the adults.

In response, the specialist said, “I’ve examined Ms. Jarvis, and she’s showing no signs of regaining consciousness. What you saw just now-her fingers curling-was probably just a reflex of her nerves. She’s trying her best, too, but she needs a final push.”

Right as those words left his mouth, the ward plunged into a deathly silence. Only the sound of Benny’s sobbing could be heard. Lucian frowned as he pondered deeply.

A final push. Who else does this woman care about that I haven’t thought of? Suddenly, Archie approached Lucian and tugged at the hem of his clothes. “Mr. Farwell.”

Hence, Lucian looked down at the boy while trying to lessen the iciness in his gaze. Archie suggested sweetly, “Could you let Essie come here and talk to Mommy?”

Upon hearing that, Lucian felt his heart tense. It hurt so much that he could not breathe properly Oh, right. Essie. He almost forgot Estella was just as important as the boys were to Roxanne.

Moreover, Estella was Roxanne’s flesh and blood. Maybe they’re connected telepathically to a certain extent.

At that thought, Lucian held Archie’s hand and instructed grimly, “Stay here with Mommy and keep talking to her. I’ll get someone to bring Essie over now.”

Archie’s face was wet with tears. The moment he heard those words, he broke into a smile. “Mommy will definitely wake up if Essie could come.”

The boys could sense their mother’s longing and worry for Estella At that, Lucian nodded calmly. As he walked out of the ward, he instructed Cayden, “Go to the manor and bring Estella here.”

Cayden had been waiting in the corridor after bringing the boys over.

When Cayden heard Lucian’s orders, he was stunned but quickly came to his senses. True. Ms. Jarvis was the one who gave birth to Ms. Estella. Perhaps a miracle will happen.

With that thought in mind, Cayden agreed without hesitation and hurried off.

Normally, the journey to the manor would take thirty minutes. However, Cayden had already parked the car in front of the Farwell residence after twenty minutes.

Since he knew the password to the door, he opened it and strolled into the mansion. It was already past ten o’clock at night, but the mansion was still brightly lit.

Estella’s lips were pressed together as she sat on the couch with an aggrieved look, hugging her knees at the same time. She looked as if she did not want anyone to approach her.

Standing beside her was Catalina, looking exasperated. Meanwhile, Aubree was trying to approach the little girl with a smile.

That was how it had been the entire night.

Catalina let out a quiet sigh of relief when she saw Cayden. “Mr. Lawson, please help us talk some sense into Ms. Estella. She refuses to sleep.”

When Aubree heard that, she recalled the incident where Cayden had ruined her plans. Displeased, she shut her mouth. Meanwhile, Estella glanced over with a frown.

“Ms. Estella, Ms. Pearson,” Cayden greeted them politely. Aubree merely hummed a cold response. “Mr. Farwell has instructed me to bring Ms. Estella to him,” Cayden informed nonchalantly.

As soon as he finished his sentence, Estella’s eyes lit up, and she loosened her arms around her knees. At the same time, there was a change in Aubree’s countenance. “Where’s Lucian?”

There was an urgent look on Aubree’s face as if she wanted to personally bring Estella to Lucian. Lucian had been treating Aubree coldly ever since Estella got bullied at the kindergarten.

In fact, Aubree had not met Lucian for the past few days. That day, she had a golden opportunity to wait for Lucian to return by using Estella as an excuse.

To her dismay, not only did Lucian not return, but he even sent Cayden to pick Estella up. Naturally, Aubree would not miss out on that opportunity.

Alas, Cayden apologized coldly, “I’m sorry, Ms. Pearson. It’s not my place to reveal Mr. Farwell’s schedule.” Aubree’s expression darkened as soon as she heard that.

What do you mean you can’t reveal his schedule? “Don’t you forget I’m Lucian’s fiancée. Why are you hiding his schedule from me?” Aubree questioned, glaring furiously at Cayden.

Nonetheless, Cayden was unfazed. “I know you’re Mr. Farwell’s fiancée, but I’ll still be saying the same thing even if Mrs. Farwell is here today.” Aubree gritted her teeth in fury. “Don’t go overboard, Cayden!”

This obtuse man was the one who ruined my plans last time. And now, he’s keeping Lucian’s schedule a secret from me.

Cayden merely lowered his head and explained, “If you think there’s no need to hide it from you, you may give Mr. Farwell a call. He still has some time to answer some calls, after all. He’ll tell you if he thinks you should know about it.”

Having said that, he turned to look at Estella. “Let’s go, Ms. Estella.”

Estella immediately leaped off the couch, ran to him, and held his hand sweetly. With that, Cayden led the girl away.

Aubree purpled with fury as she watched them leave. “I’ll go with you!”

After placing Estella in the car, Cayden shut the door and said firmly, “Mr. Farwell has only instructed me to bring Ms. Estella over. If you’d like to tag along, please give Mr. Farwell a call. I’ll bring you along if he gives his approval.”

Aubree’s expression froze when she heard that.

Strangely, she felt slightly confident when she recalled the fact that Lucian had taken the initiative to call her that afternoon. Hence, she pulled out her phone and called him.

Unfortunately, the call was declined after the first ring. The screen on the phone reflected Aubree’s vicious expression. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave with Ms. Estella first. I’ll pick you up if Mr. Farwell instructs me to do so.”

Cayden sounded incredibly polite. After saying that, he got into the car and drove in the direction of the hospital.

As she watched Cayden’s car disappear from her line of sight, she snatched a handful of flowers at the mansion’s entrance and watched the petals fall to the ground. Gnashing her teeth, she crushed them all.

“Mr. Lawson, where are we going?” On their way to the hospital, Estella cast. Cayden a puzzled look. However, a pained look appeared on his face. when he heard the question.

After some time, he said awkwardly, “You’ll find out once we’re there. Don’t worry. Mr. Farwell is waiting for us there.” Pouting, Estella fell silent for a while before suddenly asking, “Is Ms. Jarvis there, too?”
