Archie and Benny were stunned when they saw tears running down Estella’s cheeks. They did not know if they should console her or not.

After all, it seemed like she was crying because their mother was hurt. In a way, she was responding to the outside world. It was great news for them.

However, their hearts broke at the sight of Estella’s watery eyes. They then turned to seek help from their mother, but the next thing they saw was their mother, frowning in pain as she washed her wound.

At that, Archie and Benny calmed down. Their eyes continued to flit between their mother and Estella, nevertheless.

A while later, Lucian grabbed Roxanne’s arm and pulled it away from the running water.

Roxanne lowered her eyes to look at the site of the wound. Although it was still red, it did not hurt as much anymore.

When Lucian noticed her action, he frowned as concern seeped into his eyes. He asked, “What’s the matter? Does it still hurt a lot?”

Roxanne tensed up for a second but shook her head. “I’m feeling much better. I’ll treat the wound, and it should be fine after that.”

With that, she shook off Lucian’s hand and walked toward the door.
