Chapter 1793 Can You Afford The Compensation After getting ashore, Lucian and Roxanne hurried to Estella to check on her condition.

Estella had sipped swater and gradually began to calm down. “Daddy, Mommy, I'm fine! When | fell into the pool, the baby dolphin also jumped in after me. | saw that. I'm sure it was trying to save me!” Lucian and Roxanne could barely hide their surprise to hear that. She's practically friends with that baby dolphin! Due to the urgency of the situation, they hadn't seen that with their own eyes. They also knew they couldn't rely on others to save their daughter.

“Did you choke and swallow the pool water?” Roxanne asked.

Estella furrowed her brows before nodding. “I think I drank two mouthfuls of the water. | feel a bit uncomfortable.

Will | have a tummy ache later?” Roxanne gave her head a reassuring pat. “No, of course not. I'm a doctor, so trust me. You'll just have to take a few pills to kill the bacteria, that's all.” Archie and Benny hung their heads, ready to be reprimanded for their actions.

“Daddy, Mommy, we're sorry for failing to protect Essie!” Lucian got to his knees and hugged them. “No, that wasn't your fault. It was a sudden situation, and you did a good job pinning that boy down. Had you not been able to do that, he would've pushed you both, too. If that were to happen, we wouldn't be able to save you all.” Roxanne felt bad for them and quickly comforted them, “That's right. Archie, Benny, you did nothing wrong.

Even if you jumped into the water, you wouldn't be able to save Essie. Saving her is our responsibility as adults.

We won't blyou for this.” The keepers and visitors gathered to inquire about their well-being.

Lucian and Roxanne felt a surge of anger when they recalled who the culprit was.

“Where is the plump kid?” Roxanne demanded. It was the first tin her life that she had ever despised a child this much.

Lucian's expression was as dark as thunder. “What a ruthless boy! How could he put someone else's life at stake?” The overweight man and his son were currently surrounded by an angry crowd, who hurled insults and curses at them.

As Lucian and Roxanne approached, the crowd parted.

Roxanne immediately discovered that the boy wasn't repentant at all as there was a smug look in his gaze.

Nevertheless, she also noticed that his nose was bleeding.

“Daddy, Mommy, Benny and | hit him,” Archie admitted.

To his surprise, Lucian praised him. “Good job! Someone like him deserves to be punished. You did the right thing by hitting him. It's fine.” The overweight man had no idea his son would cause trouble for him. When he saw Roxanne and Lucian approaching him, he apologized readily. “It was completely my son's fault, and I'm sorry for that. Please, letmake it up to you in any way | can. I'm willing to compensate you with any amount you deem necessary.” Before he could add more, Lucian delivered a vicious kick to the man, sending him tumbling to the ground.

“Compensate? Can you afford to compensate us?” Lucian's gaze sent a chill down the man's spine.

Roxanne's face hardened as she gritted her teeth and spoke in a tone laced with frost. “Look how smug your son is. It's a wonder how you were able to raise such a complete piece of trash.” She couldn't control her feelings as it was her first tseeing such an evil kid.

If they weren't in public, she would've given the boy two forceful slaps without hesitation.
