Chapter 771 | Am Sorry Shortly after, Archie’s arm also started itching. Archie and Benny gazed at Roxanne blankly, not understanding what had happened to them.

A glint of self-recrimination flashed across Roxanne’s eyes when she saw that they had both gotten infected.

If only | had closed the door earlier, | would've noticed their entry in tand stopped them from approaching.

Then, they wouldn't have gotten infected...

“It's so itchy, Mommy.” With a frown marring his countenance, Benny stretched out his hand to scratch the itch.

“Don’t touch it!” Roxanne hastily ordered.

As her words rang out, Lucian stepped forward and grabbed Archie and Benny's hands to prevent them from simply scratching their itches.

Just now, he didn’t dare touch them out of consideration that he was already infected. That was why he didn’t physically stop them.

Since they had also been infected then, that was no longer a worry.

Meanwhile, Estella already had that experience. While refraining from scratching her body, she pinned her eyes on Archie and Benny as she apologized, “I'm sorry. This is all on me...” When Archie and Benny heard that, they endured the itch assailing them and comforted her instead. “We asked for it. It has nothing to do with you.” After saying that, it occurred to them that Estella had suffered such torment for an indeterminably long time.

Gritting their teeth, they turned solemn and said to Lucian, “Let go of us, Mr. Farwell. We won't scratch anywhere!” Since Essie can endure it, we can naturally do the same! We need to be good role models for her! Lucian eyed them both skeptically. Only when he was sure he couldn't detect any signs of lying did he slowly loosen his hold on them.

Sure enough, Archie and Benny didn’t touch the red spots on their bodies throughout it all.

“Ms. Jarvis...” Estella muttered with much difficulty out of the blue.

Roxanne’s heart lurched. She dropped her hand from Estella’s wrist and touched the girl's face instead.

When they cover earlier, the red spots hadn't yet spread to her face.

Right then, however, her entire face was stained red.

With a single touch, Roxanne discovered that Estella was already running a slight fever. At once, her heart sank.

“What's wrong?” Lucian inquired with a frown, his expression likewise darkening a shade.

Shaking her head, Roxanne merely murmured, “I'm stepping out to make a call.” After saying that, she instructed the three children, “I'm going out for a while. Don’t touch the red spots on your bodies.” In response, the children nodded obediently.

Having obtained their agreement, Roxanne pivoted and left the room.

His brows scrunching together, Lucian touched Estella’s forehead. Upon detecting that she was running a fever, he initially wanted to step out after Roxanne to ask about her condition. But it was clear that someone needed to keep the children company, so he could only give that plan up.

At the door, Roxanne rolled up her sleeves and took a gander at her arm. Unsurprisingly, red spots had also manifested on her arm.

Since they were adults, their resistance was stronger than children. For that reason, Archie and Benny developed a reaction as soon as they touched Estella, while she and Lucian were infected slowly.

If her diagnosis was correct, Estella’s symptoms obviously indicated an allergy due to bacterial infection.

As tdragged on, the symptoms would only worsen.

She and Lucian would still be fine, but the three children would inevitably have to suffer quite a bit.

Worse still, Estella had already developed subsequent symptoms.

At the thought of the children inside, Roxanne didn’t dare delay things anymore. She whipped out her phone and called Colby right away.

She initially thought that she would have to wait for a while before he answered, as it was late at night.

Unexpectedly, the person on the other end picked up the call mere seconds after it was connected.
