NovelEnglishChapter 772 We Will Take Good Care Of Essie “What's the matter, Dr. Jarvis?” Colby had just fallen asleep when he was jolted awake by Roxanne’s call. When he glimpsed the caller ID, he immediately answered the call.
Hearing his voice, Roxanne furtively breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't the tto exchange pleasantries with him, so she cut to the chase. “If it isn’t too much trouble, can you make a trip to the research institute right now?” At that, Colby sat up from the bed. “Is there anything important?” While saying that, he had already started changing without waiting for her reply.
He knew that there must be something crucial that she was calling at that hour, but he wanted to know the specifics.

The spray we formulated back then might be effective, but I'm really needed here. As such, | can only seek your help.” Having said that, she added, “Forget it if it's too much trouble. | can also make a trip over myself.” By then, Colby had already gone downstairs after snagging a coat and draping it over himself. “I've already left hand will be arriving soon.” Roxanne thanked him gratefully, saying, “I'm really sorry for troubling you at this hour.” At her words, Colby merely chuckled nonchalantly. “It’s no big deal. The children’s health comes first. | remember that the symptoms of such an allergy can get exceedingly serious. Take care of them first. I'll rush over as soon as possible.” Roxanne murmured an acknowledgment and thanked him again before hanging up the phone.
By the tshe returned to the room, Estella’s face had already flushed bright red. The red spots on Archie and Benny's bodies had also spread to their necks.
It was the first tthey had such a severe illness. Although they were already sufficiently strong, they were still inexorably afraid.
Utter distress inundated Roxanne at the expressions on their faces. But still, she gritted her teeth and soothed them. “Don’t be afraid. It’s just a bit of an allergy. I've already asked someone to send the medication over. Just put up with it for a while longer.” Unwilling to cause her concern, the children nodded meekly.
Turning her back to them, Roxanne sighed soundlessly.
While Colby had promised that he would rush over as soon as possible, she couldn’t help feeling anxious. Thus, she went downstairs to wait.
At the sight of her retreating back, Lucian’s gaze darkened. He shifted his eyes to the three children on the bed.
Discerning his intention, Archie and Benny instantly patted themselves on the chest and vowed, “We'll take good care of Essie!” Following that, Lucian bobbed his head at them and left the room as well.

Lucian took the pot from her. “What illness is this exactly?” Roxanne didn’t bother to stand on ceremony with him. She whirled around and took a few brand-new towels from the bathroom before following behind him. “It’s an allergy due to bacterial infection. Adults can still endure it, but kids’ resistance is low. As tdrags on, there'll be a series of complications, such as high fever, laryngeal edema, and the like. In serious cases, there's even a possibility of asphyxia.” At her words, Lucian’s heart promptly sank to rock bottom.
Essie is already running a high fever now. It'd be bad if things were to drag on.
“I've already asked someone to help get the medication. Right now, I'm going to use hot towels on them to alleviate the itching first.” Roxanne’s heart was similarly heavy.
Earlier, she initially planned to go downstairs to wait for Colby. But when she arrived downstairs, that idea occurred to her.
Lucian didn’t know much about pathology, so he could only do as she said.
