Chapter 280

Royanne patted Estella, trying her best to comfort the latter. Still, the sobs of the little girl in her arms sounded weaker and weaker. "Essie?" Roxanne gazed down concernedly.

Estella had passed out after crying for so long, but tears continued to roll down her cheeks from the corner of her eyes.

Roxanne struggled to catch her breath, as she could hardly stand the pain in her chest when she took in Estella's wretched state.

The weather is so cold, and Essie's wearing such thin clothes. She won't last if this situation drags on. I need to think of a way to get out of here!

At that thought, Roxanne took off her jacket and wrapped Estella with her outerwear before racking her brain to figure out a solution.

However, no matter her methods, she could not climb out of the pit.

Instead, she ended up exhausting all her energy.

After several attempts, she stopped her futile struggles in slight desperation. She held Estella in her arms to provide the little girl with warmth.

The night breeze blew past the forest, causing a series of rustling sounds. Sadly, Roxanne did not hear the voice of any other person in the woods. Despaired, Roxanne took out her phone.

Although she knew there would not be any signal in the wilderness, she could only place her hope for a miracle to happen.

The light from her phone screen illuminated her face. She browsed through her contact list for some time. In the end, Roxanne still decided to call Lucian. Unfortunately, there was no miracle, as she failed to make the call.

Roxanne hung up the phone while wearing a wry smile. Then she looked up at the opening of the

pit.

Luckily, she brought a torchlight. At the very least, Roxanne felt a little at ease when the interior of the pit was not completely dark.

"Roxanne?" Just when she was about to give up and deal with that predicament the next morning, a person's deep and tired-sounding voice reverberated beside her ears. Am I hallucinating? Roxanne blinked her eyes in doubt as she gazed upward at the hole atop her.

Lucian's voice sounded again. "Are you here?"

Roxanne felt immensely relieved when she saw him. She croaked, "Essie fainted after crying for too long. Hurry up and get help to bring her out of here."

Lucians heart switched painfully: He replied solemnly. "I'll be right back. Wait for me."

Roxanne greni to wait for him.

Lucian immediately turned on his heels to find Cayden and the others.

His face turned grim right after he turned around.

I arrived here too late.' That's why Raranne and Estella are in such terrible conditions. I can't even imagine hour seared they must have been!

He walked for some distance before finally meeting Cayden and the others.

At that moment. Cavden was troubled because even though Lucian had roughly described his position to Cavden, it was still very difficult to navigate the terrains of the deep forest. Looking up and noticing Lucian striding in their direction, he immediately darted forward.

Once the group reached the side of the pit, Cayden instructed his subordinates to take out some ropes to pull Roxanne and Estella out of the hole. However, Roxanne could merely grab the rope without having any strength left to muster. Moreover, she was carrying Estella with her other arm.

Noticing that, Cayden hastily thought of ordering one of his men to go down into the pit and piggyback them up.

Before he could give the instruction, Cayden caught Lucian jumping into the hole from the corner of his eyes.

He was taken aback. "Mr. Farwell!"
