Chapter 1200
Mission To Remarry
As Lucian was holding Estella, the latterâs body was twisted awkwardly to face Aubree. Estella spread her chubby arms wide and held them in front of Aubree.
âYouâre not allowed to go in! I donât want you!â
Daddy and Ms. Jarvisâs relationship finally improved after much difficulty. I donât want this evil woman to affect their relationship again. Every time Daddy argued with Ms. Jarvis, this nasty woman would always stick her nose into their business because she didnât want Daddy to get together with Ms.
Jarvis!
Seeing Estella block her way for Roxanneâs sake, Aubree was furious, but she didnât dare throw a tantrum and could only clench her hands to try to suppress her anger.
âEssie, do you not want Ms. Jarvis to get better soon? Donât forget that my family knows a lot of doctors. I can get them to treat Ms. Jarvisâ illness,â Aubree patiently persuaded.
However, Estella was not moved. Glaring at Aubree, she declared, âMs. Jarvis has already recovered.
She doesnât need any more treatments!â
After what had just happened, Estella was immensely sensitive to the word âillness,â so after she heard Aubreeâs words, she flew into a fit of rage.
Aubreeâs face fell when she sensed Estellaâs abrupt anger, and she looked at Lucian, perplexed.
âLucian, I meant well. What do you thinkâ¦â
Lucian threw her a glance and replied in an impassive tone, âThereâs no need for you to worry. Itâs late.
You should go back and rest.â
Seeing that Lucian was also preventing her from entering the ward, Aubree clenched her jaw so tightly that her teeth hurt.
Still, she tried to persuade Lucian to leave, not giving up, âThen letâs leave together. You and Ms. Jarvis arenât close anyway, and youâve helped her enough. If youâre still worried, I can hire an experienced caregiver for her. If word gets out that you stayed with her for the entire night, it will affect your reputation badly.â
As Lucian had a long, tiring day at work, he was feeling irritated, so his face immediately darkened upon hearing Aubree persistently asking him to leave.
âWord wonât get out! Even if it did, Ms. Jarvis saved Essie twice, so I should take care of her to repay her. No one will dare to say anything!â
Not expecting such words, Aubree was stunned.
âDo you have anything else to say?â Lucian asked, shooting her an icy glance.only shake her head silently.
âThen you can return.â Lucian turned back indifferently.
Estella also retracted her arm and hugged Lucianâs neck, showing Aubree the back of her head.
Gazing at their backs, Aubree clenched her hands even tighter.
After a moment, she squeezed out a semblance of a smile and answered, âThen, Iâll go back first. Itâs late. Donât stay up too late taking care of her. Rest early.â
Then, she turned to leave.
Suddenly, Lucianâs voice sounded behind her.
âDid you go and see Roxanne again on the day she visited Essie?â
Lucian was deeply bothered by what Benny said before the latter stopped himself.
Immediately, Aubree froze in her tracks, terrified.
Did Lucian find out what I did that day?
Immediately, she forced herself to calm down.
According to his personality, if he really knew something, he would immediately take action. He wonât be questioning me like now. Itâs the same as the time I hit Essie.
At that thought, Aubree replied, pretending to be confused, âWhat are you saying? I have no reason to go and see her again. We have already made things clear before you.â
