Chapter 888 Feeling Uneasy
After giving it some thought, Archie looked toward the room on the second floor with a frown.
As usual, the elder child had more to consider before deciding.
Mommy is upset and worried about Essie. We shouldn’t go out without her knowledge. She’ll fly into a panic!
As for Benny, he continued to persuade his brother, “Essie may still feel uncomfortable when she wakes up. I’m
sure she’ll feel better if she sees us. On top of that, we can also let her know Mommy is worried about her!”
Having heard that, Archie was slightly swayed. After some time, he finally came to a decision.
Soon, the boys furtively opened the mansion door and ran straight to the roadside. After hailing a cab, they headed
to the Farwell residence.
Naturally, the cab driver was shocked to see two children getting into his car. After hesitating for a moment, he
voiced, “Hello, kids. Where are your parents?”

voice.
The driver heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that. He then started the car and drove toward the boys’
destination.
They’re indeed a pair of silver-spooned kids. This is already a luxurious residential area, but they’re heading toward
a more pricey neighborhood. Nevertheless, the little ones are sure pitiable. Their parents are already living
separately when they’re at such a young age.
Anyhow, Archie and Benny knew nothing about what the driver was thinking. They were excited and looking
forward to seeing their father and Estella.
Concurrently, Estella was sleeping in her bedroom at the Farwell residence.
When she was woken by the ringtones that rang out a moment ago, she opened her eyes in a daze.
“It hurts…”
Estella could not help but moan in pain as she felt excruciating pain around the eye area.
Her voice drew Lucian’s attention, and he immediately strode into the room.
He furrowed his brows worriedly as he wasn’t sure when exactly Estella had woken up.
Earlier, James had left the manor in a hurry. He had to attend to some urgent matters after sending them back.
Before leaving, James had repeatedly reminded Lucian to pay attention to Estella’s emotions. He said that Estella
might still be emotionally unstable when she woke up.
As the little girl squinted her eyes, she noticed that the person standing at the door was her father. With a woeful
expression, she stretched out her hand to him.
Lucian hurried forward and scooped her up in his arms. “Are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable?”
Estella touched her eyes gently and uttered softly, “Eyes. They hurt.”
Frowning, Lucian looked at her eyes only to notice that she had swelling around that area.
As the little girl had cried miserably earlier, it made her eyes swell up.
In actuality, this happened to Estella quite frequently, even before she met Roxanne.
As an autistic child, Estella did not know how to express and manage her emotions. She would always lock herself in

As a result, her eyes would always get swollen the next day.
As such, Lucian had already gotten used to treating her swollen eyes.
After checking her eyes, he carried her down the stairs and applied a cold compress to her eye area.
“Mr. Farwell. Ms. Estella,” Catalina greeted them politely.
Noticing that Estella’s eyes were red and swollen, Catalina could not help but express her concern worriedly. “Gosh,
that’s severe swelling!”
Estella, who was being held in Lucian’s embrace, was grasping the latter’s shirt tightly with her tiny hands.
Since she had cried herself to sleep, she still felt upset after she woke up.
Having heard what Catalina said, the little girl wanted to respond to the former. However, when she opened her
mouth, a burp got out, and tears started to well up in her eyes again.
