Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 284 I Did Not Take Care Of Her

After the meal, Lucian told Cayden to send Archie and Benny back home to rest while he stayed in the ward with Roxanne so they could both keep Estella company.

Roxanne couldn’t bear to leave the little girl alone in the ward. Estella was still afraid and refused to release her grip on the corner of Roxanne’s clothes.

Estella shook her head silently.
