Chapter 1793 Can You Afford The Compensation
After getting ashore, Lucian and Roxanne hurried to Estella to check on her condition.
Estella had sipped some water and gradually began to calm down. “Daddy, Mommy, I'm fine! When I
fell into the pool, the baby dolphin also jumped in after me. I 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. I feel a bit
uncomfortable. Will I have a tummy ache later?”

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 blame you 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 time in 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 I 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.”

Lucian approaching him, he apologized readily. “It was completely my son's fault, and I'm sorry for that.
Please, let me make it up to you in any way I 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 time seeing such an evil kid.
If they weren't in public, she would've given the boy two forceful slaps without hesitation.
