Seeing that Jonathan was full of confidence, Lucian asked, “What is it? Stop keeping me in suspense.”

Jonathan broke into a casual smile. “To further develop traditional medicine, our country provides the best environment to do so. I’m sure that was Dr. Jarvis’ objective when she chose to return. It’s just…”

Here, Jonathan threw Lucian a glance. There was no need for him to finish his sentence.

Roxanne had come back to Chanaea so that she could expand the field of traditional medicine. Unfortunately, she didn’t expect to run into the Farwell family and be forced to leave.

Meeting Jonathan’s gaze, the frustrated Lucian grimaced.

“But if the proposition is attractive enough, I’m sure Dr. Jarvis will be willing to stay for the sake of traditional medicine research,” Jonathan said. “I’m sure you have heard about the prestigious families who live in seclusion within Chanaea. Among them, the Damaris family used to cause waves within the field of ancient medicine. Unfortunately, they gradual

    That night, Roxanne went personally to the Queen residence to show her gratitude.During dinnertime, Alfred conveniently brought up the news regarding the Damaris family. “Dr. Jarvis, the Damaris family is planning to have a medical consultation. Would you be interested in being a part of it? If you’re interested, I can help introduce you to them.”The shock was written all over Roxanne’s face.Even though she had mostly been living overseas, the Damaris family was no stranger to her.In the world of traditional medicine, the Damaris family was nothing short of legendary. The younger ones in the industry would always hear about the legacy of the Damaris family, yet they rarely stood a chance to meet them in person.Because Roxanne had been overseas for so long, it was even harder for her to have any encounter with the Damaris family. Even so, she had longed to meet and interact with them.After all, the Damaris family was extremely skilled in traditional medicine. The family also owne

    Once Archie and Benny were comforted, Roxanne breathed out a sigh of relief.After they finished eating, Roxanne sent Archie and Benny into their room before she entered the study.According to Alfred, the medical consultation held by the Damaris family was in two days. She needed to understand more about the consultation in advance.Before that, she had only heard of the medical consultations by the Damaris family, but she had never really looked into it, and neither had she imagined herself to be lucky enough to have the chance to participate in it.Since the unexpected opportunity had landed in her hands, she was determined to perform well.Without many leads for her to find out more about the process of the medical consultation, Roxanne could only use the most unreliable method—searching online—and hope for the best. If she were lucky, she would be able to get a glimmer of information.Unfortunately, the Damaris family was far too mysterious for the common men. Despite the fact th

    The next morning, Roxanne was still fast asleep when a knock sounded on her door.“Mommy!” Benny’s childish voice called out from outside her bedroom. “Mommy, wake up!”The noise jolted Roxanne awake, and she quickly sat up. Thinking that the children were calling her because something had happened, she hurried over to open the door without even brushing up.When she opened the door, Archie and Benny greeted her with an innocent look. Looking up at Roxanne with puppy eyes, they whined, “Mommy, will you send us to the kindergarten today?”Their eyes were filled with anticipation.By then, Roxanne was fully awake.Upon hearing the boys’ question, Roxanne was reminded of the disappointed looks on their faces the night before.After a few seconds of hesitation, Roxanne finally agreed, “You boys go ahead and have breakfast first. I’ll be down in a few. After breakfast, I’ll send you two to the kindergarten.”Archie’s and Benny’s eyes lit up. Nodding obediently, they immediately trotted dow

    Over the next few days, Roxanne bustled around in preparation for the medical consultation.Her understanding of the Damaris family was limited to mere rumors and the forum forwarded by Harvey.However, all that wasn’t quite enough for her.The opportunity this time was truly too rare for her. If she wanted to take advantage of it, she needed to make preparations as much as possible.Consequently, she had become a regular visitor to the Queen residence in the past few days. Alfred admired her greatly, so he answered every question she asked about the Damaris family.After they finished chatting about the Damaris family, Alfred had Roxanne help him to his seat. Then, he ventured solemnly, “Previously, I tried to feel you and Jonathan out, but neither of you has feelings for the other. I know that. But it’s still not done for you to raise two children by yourself. Is there someone you like? Tell me, and I might be able to give you some suggestions.”Roxanne was inevitably stunned when t

    Speaking of Estella, Roxanne couldn’t help feeling somewhat distressed. The smile on her face turned a touch forced.Estella was unhappy because of her, yet she could only have Archie and Benny mollify the girl on her behalf.As Archie and Benny clocked her expression, their eyes dimmed. Self-reproach was written all over their faces. “We’re sorry, Mommy.”Roxanne’s brows furrowed in bafflement when they apologized all of a sudden.Benny muttered weakly, “We shouldn’t have thrown a tantrum with you because of Essie. You must also be very tired every day, Mommy. Don’t worry. We’ll do our best to make her happy henceforth!”“Just focus on your work, Mommy. We’ll take good care of Essie!” Archie echoed.Roxanne beamed in gratification. “Thank you, Darlings.”“But it’ll be far better if you can go and visit Essie, Mommy,” Benny added in a whisper.After saying that, he was afraid that Roxanne heard him, so he smilingly announced, “It’s okay even if you can’t visit her.

    As Larry and Roxanne conversed, the car arrived at the entrance of the restaurant.After Larry parked the car, the two of them entered the restaurant and sat down by the window.Larry had made a reservation long ago, so the food was served no sooner had they taken their seats.While eating, they talked about the Damaris family’s medical consultation.“News of the Damaris family’s medical consultation is usually circulated within closed circles. How did you learn about it?” Larry couldn’t resist querying.Roxanne had nothing to hide, so she admitted, “I initially had no idea about it and was already planning to go abroad. But when I went to the Queen residence to thank them two days ago, Old Mr. Queen suddenly brought it up to me. That’s why I decided to stay a bit longer in Chanaea.”When Larry heard that, he frowned. “Go abroad?”In response, Roxanne chortled airily. “As you can see, the research institute is targeted by Farwell Group with me here. Rather than staying in Chanaea and

    After hanging up the phone, Roxanne hesitated before driving toward the kindergarten.The kindergarten ended at five o’clock in the afternoon, and the teachers led the children out of their respective cla*srooms uniformly, waiting for their parents to pick them up.Archie and Benny accompanied Estella at the back of the line. As the boys watched her look at the crowd expectantly, they looked at each other with concerned faces.“Look at me, Essie. I can turn into a bird!” Benny tried to attract Estella’s attention. As he spoke, he shaped his fingers into the shape of a bird and showed it to Estella.Alas, Estella merely glanced at his hands absent-mindedly before turning her gaze toward the crowd again. She seemed to be looking for someone.It could be her imagination, but she could feel Roxanne watching her. However, she couldn’t find her.When Archie and Benny noticed that Estella didn’t bother to look at them, they weren’t discouraged. Instead, they still tried their best to cheer E

    The boys thought they guessed it right and stopped being angry. Instead, they comforted Roxanne, “Mommy, if you don’t want to see Mr. Farwell, then don’t. We will take good care of Essie!”Since Lucian was cruel enough to leave the boys and Roxanne behind, they didn’t want to see him either.Proud of her two sons, Roxanne smiled gently and said, “I know you will. I saw.”When the boys heard her, they took the credit proudly.The atmosphere in the car became lively.Roxanne’s mood also became relaxed. She would respond to the boys patiently no matter what they said to her.After they got home, Roxanne even cooked with Lysa, which was considered a rare occasion, and prepared a sumptuous dinner for the children.After dinner, Roxanne played with them for a while. Then, she returned to her room when the boys were fast asleep.Her emotions ran wild when she thought of the look on Estella’s face when she saw her in the afternoon.When Estella came to see me before, she was full of joy.Howe

    Roxanne had long guessed Sonya would treat her with an unpleasant attitude. Although she was displeased, she didn’t show it on her face.“It’s Essie and Mr. Farwell’s wishes that Essie stays here. As you’re her grandma, I have nothing to say if you want to bring her back, but I hope you respect Essie’s opinions.”Sonya frowned in displeasure.I’ve already asked Essie just now. I wonder what sorcery Roxanne has cast on her to make her refuse to go home. That’s why I turned to ask Roxanne, but I didn’t expect this woman to be so tactless!Sonya was livid.Just then, Estella spoke. “Grandma, I don’t want to go home. I want to stay here and play with Archie and Benny.”Estella looked at Sonya pitifully.Usually, when Estella wore such an expression, Sonya would have gone along with her wishes. However, she was filled with rage right now, so Estella’s look only added fuel to the fire.“You have to go home even if you don’t want to. You belong to the Farwell family. How can you stay at some

    Ten minutes ago, Catalina had been instructing the rest of the household staff on their chores when she heard the doorbell ring.The moment she opened the door, she saw that it was Sonya.Before Catalina could greet her, Sonya questioned her, “Where’s Essie? Tell Essie to come out. Tell her that her grandma is here.”Catalina was put in a difficult position.Estella had not been in the manor for the past few days.She had thought that the little girl was with Sonya.However, judging from Sonya’s reaction, Catalina knew there and then that Estella was with Roxanne.It was obvious that Sonya must have discovered that, and that explained her anger.As a servant, Catalina did not know how to answer her question. In the end, she replied, “I will inform Mr. Farwell right away.”She was about to go and seek help from Lucian when Sonya stopped her in her tracks.“I want to see Essie. If she doesn’t come down, I will go up myself.”With that, she began to walk upstairs.Catalina had no choice

    “Please wait for a moment as Mrs. Farwell is taking a nap. I’ll tell her you’re here.” After inviting Aubree to sit on the couch in the living hall, the butler was ready to go up to call Sonya.Aubree knitted her brows and responded, “It’s okay. I can go up and check on her.”The butler knew Sonya doted on her. He hesitated but eventually agreed to allow her to go upstairs.Aubree responded with a nod. After plastering a smile on her face, she took the stairs and went up.Sonya had just woken up from her nap in the master bedroom upstairs. Upon hearing a knock on the door, she opened it right away.“Mrs. Farwell.” Aubree grinned politely. “I hope I’m not disturbing you.”Sonya, too, responded with a smile when she realized it was Aubree. “Not at all. I just woke up.”Aubree walked up to her and held her arm affectionately. “I brought you lots of gifts. Let’s go down and check them out.”“Aww, you’re too sweet.” Sonya glanced at her. “You didn’t have to do that. I’m happy that you’re h

    The search lasted the entire morning.The grim-faced Cayden, who returned with his subordinates in the afternoon, said, “We found nothing, Mr. Farwell.”Admittedly, Cory was an excellent private investigator.Cayden could not help but wonder how he had managed to keep in touch with his employers.Not only did Cayden not find any evidence of how the mastermind instructed Cory to spy on Roxanne, but he also could not find proof that could expose Cory’s identity as a private investigator.Cory began playing the sympathy card. “Mr. Farwell, I told you no one instructed me to do anything.”Lucian waited for half a day but did not get the answer he was looking for. His eyes blazed with fury when he saw the pretentious innocent look on the culprit’s face.“If no one put you up to this, why did you stalk her?” he asked.Cory blinked innocently. “B-Because I find Ms. Jarvis attractive. I wished to snap photos of her since I was trying my hand at photography.”He had felt nervous before Cayden

    Meanwhile, Lucian, too, ordered Cayden to investigate the issue.With Farwell Group’s financial capability, the investigation was carried out effortlessly.In less than an hour, Cayden had managed to bring the private investigator to Farwell Group.It was not until the private investigator was led to Farwell Group’s entrance that he realized something was off.“D-Did I do something wrong? Why did you bring me here?”Cayden cast him a cold glance. “Why are you asking me that? I’m not the one who calls the shots here. You’ll find out soon.”The private investigator’s legs trembled when he heard Cayden’s words.The only person who came to mind when he thought of the person who called the shots for Farwell Group was none other than Lucian Farwell.The private investigator had recently been following Roxanne around on Aubree’s orders. During those times, he had indeed seen Roxanne interacting with Lucian.Yet, he paid no mind to that.After all, he was merely doing as instructed. He did no

    Upon hearing that, the doubtful Roxanne and Madilyn exchanged glances.They had spoken to nearly all the research institutes that could develop that specific bacterium in Horington, and only that research institute confirmed that their laboratory had previously lost the bacteria.Although it happened half a month ago, the bacteria could remain viable as long as they were appropriately preserved.Madilyn was aware of that and didn’t hesitate to ask, “How did you guys lose the bacteria back then? Do you guys have any findings now?”The person’s answer did not disappoint them. “One of the researchers should have taken it,” he said frankly.Madilyn was filled with confusion when she heard that.“Although we have no solid evidence, we were certain about that. Two days after the bacteria went missing, that researcher suddenly quit. We haven’t heard from her since then,” the person continued.Before Madilyn could speak, Roxanne asked, “What’s the name of that researcher?”The person on the o

    At the side, Estella had her head lifted and gazed at Roxanne, looking hopeful.Roxanne’s gaze flickered. Only after obtaining Lucian’s promise did she forcibly suppress the worry within her.“Got it. I’ll take good care of Essie for the next few days.”Lucian indifferently inclined his head a fraction in acknowledgment. Shortly after, he took his leave and left.Roxanne watched as his car disappeared into the distance before bringing Archie, Benny, and Estella into the mansion.All three children were already starving to the point that their stomachs growled incessantly.Without tarrying, Roxanne prepared some quick and easy breakfast to fill their stomachs first.After having breakfast, she had the children play by themselves while she stood up and went into the study.She simply couldn’t sit back and do nothing about the person who used the bacteria on the children.Worse still, Lucian left Estella at her place. Hence, she wanted to catch the culprit as soon as possible to eliminat

    “Have you and the kids been here?”Lucian came to a stop under a gigantic tree.Stopping with him, Roxanne looked around before shaking her head. “No.”That tree was located at the edge of the woods.Yesterday, she had been with Archie, Benny, and Estella in the woods or by the waterfall.As such, they indeed hadn’t been to that particular spot.Nodding in understanding, Lucian motioned for her to take a look at the bottom of the tree.Roxanne followed his gaze and took a closer look, upon which she made out a vague footprint.From the looks of it, it obviously belonged to an adult.As the footprints moved toward the edge of the gra*sy area, they grew increasingly faint.Therefore, she had no way of knowing whether the owner of those footprints had gone anywhere near the tent.However, it was certain that someone else was there yesterday other than her and the children.In fact, that person had been watching from the side while she was playing with the children.That realization had a

    After Archie, Benny, and Estella had dozed off, Roxanne turned off the small night light in the tent.Consequently, the tent was pitch-dark right then, and she had no idea whether Lucian was asleep on the other side.Well, I didn’t hear any movement in a long time, so he has probably gone to sleep.At that thought, Roxanne quietly got up and left the tent. She sat outside under the moonlight alone and stared blankly into space.The weather had been great for the past two days. The moon shone brightly, but there weren’t many stars in the sky.For safety reasons, Lucian had the headlights turned on, illuminating the tent’s surroundings and rendering it like daylight.As Roxanne looked at the scenery around her, her mind gradually began drifting.Too many things had happened that day.At first, the children suddenly contracted a bacterial infection. Then, she inexplicably ended up in the same space as Lucian.Both of the incidents had her emotions turn into a jumbled mess.While she was
