Before Roxanne could react to the situation, Lucian supported her by the waist and stabilized her body.When she raised her head, she saw his dark eyes.As their gazes met, Roxanne’s body stiffened. Then she quickly looked away before standing back up by propping her hand on the bed and supporting herself.He had grabbed her subconsciously when she fell. However, when he saw her avoiding him like the plague, the look in his eyes darkened. And so, he quickly withdrew the hand from her waist.“How dare you say you researched complicated diseases before! Is this the result of your research? I think those credentials of yours were bought!” Frieda didn’t notice what was going on between the two of them and was still angry at Roxanne.She stared at Jonathan furiously. “I think she’s a liar, Jonathan! We need to kick her out right now!”When Roxanne heard that, she quickly snapped back to her senses and mocked, “No wonder Old Mr. Queen’s condition became so severe. It seems like someone’s be
Why is he helping me again? Before I started the treatment, he was the one who was trying to stop me from advancing. But when I was treating Old Mr. Queen, he helped out, and now he’s even defending me. His intentions are so unclear…“Frieda has admitted her mistake, but I don’t expect you to forgive her that quickly, Dr. Jarvis. However, as you said, my grandpa’s condition is worsening. Can you please treat him first. We can discuss how we can make up for my sister’s misdeed in the future.”Jonathan’s voice rang in her ears.Roxanne was still pretty upset, but when she thought about the research institute, she suppressed her displeasure.Besides, Jonathan was right. Alfred did need a doctor quickly, and he was innocent.When she thought about that, she calmed down and swept her gaze past the crowd in the room before ordering coldly, “I hope unrelated persons will leave this room before I restart my treatment.”Frieda was about to say she was family before Roxanne added, “That include
After Estella handed the handkerchief to Roxanne, she had been staying at the latter’s side. Upon hearing that they were heading downstairs, she immediately reached her hand out and grabbed Roxanne’s hand, much like how they did it last time.Right before her hand touched Roxanne’s, a phone rang.Roxanne promptly turned around to take the phone in her bag, and her fingertips brushed past the little girl’s.It wasn’t easy for Estella to build up the courage to hold Roxanne’s hand, yet she failed at the last second. She blinked slowly as disappointment colored her expression, and she started fiddling with her fingers.Lucian saw how they almost held each other’s hand. His eyes darkened in response.Roxanne picked up the phone and saw it was a call from Madilyn.She handed her kids to Madilyn tonight because of her appointment at the Queen residence.So, when she saw the call, she thought something happened to the children and speedily answered.As her finger swiped across the screen, sh
Since she has no intention of acknowledging her daughter, I might as well go along with her wishes.Taken aback by Lucian’s tone, Estella was briefly stunned before she pouted and wrote in her notebook: Why?Before he could reply, she quickly wrote: I like her very much, and she is kind and gentle to me. I want to be together with her!Despite Lucian’s sympathy for her when he saw how much she liked Roxanne, they had no choice but to face reality. He replied indifferently, “That’s because she has children of her own and doesn’t need another child.”Estella was confused by his reply.I know that the two boys are her sons, but she has still been very nice to me. However, Daddy seems to hate her.Estella couldn’t help but feel disappointed.When he saw her fall silent, Lucian instructed his assistant to drive.After leaving the Queen residence, he felt a tug on his sleeve, causing him to look over at Estella with knitted brows.She wrote: In that case, where is my mommy?She gave him a p
After going into the details a little more, Roxanne realized it was getting late when she checked the time.Thinking of her two sons waiting for her at home, she got up to leave. “I think it’s time for me to go, but I’ll be coming back tomorrow. In the meantime, call me if Old Mr. Queen has any problems.”With that, she headed to the door with her medical bag in hand.Glancing at Roxanne’s leaving silhouette, Jonathan called out to her, “Dr. Jarvis, other than treating Grandpa, I’m sure you have some other reason for being here.”Stopping abruptly in her tracks, Roxanne suddenly remembered her objective for coming over.But Old Mr. Queen hasn’t recovered fully yet. So, Jonathan…When Jonathan saw her stop, he softened his tone. “Don’t you want to talk about it first before leaving?”Jonathan’s intentions couldn’t be more obvious.Even though she didn’t bring up the matter of medicine supply, he was cognizant of her agenda. In fact, he was also interested in exploring the matter with h
The moment the three of them saw Roxanne, they dropped the Lego in their hands and welcomed her home together.“Mommy!”The two boys threw themselves into her arms and asked in a concerned tone, “Why did youcome back so late? All of us are already sleepy.”.Both of them yawned with their eyes about to close.Roxanne tousled their hair. “I’m sorry for letting all of you wait that long.”Raising her gaze, she wanted to thank Madilyn.Sensing what she was about to say, Madilyn waved her hands. “Don’t worry about it. Both of them are my godsons after all. As for you, have you had your dinner yet? It’s already so late!”Roxanne shook her head. “I didn’t manage to eat, as I was caught up with work.”She had lost track of time while treating Alfred and discussing the supply of medicine with Jonathan.However, now that Roxanne had reminded her of it, she began to feel her stomach growling.Madilyn gave her an annoyed look. “I knew this would happen whenever you’re busy. Therefore, I set asid
Cognizant that Madilyn had helped her pick up the boys two days in a row, Roxanne planned to pick them up herself that day. Thus, she headed to the Queen residence in the afternoon after finishing her work in the morning.After she arrived, she examined Alfred to make sure there weren’t any complications before continuing his treatment by inserting needles.While waiting for the time to remove the needles, Jonathan approached with a document in hand. “Dr. Jarvis, here’s the contract I’ve prepared. If you’re fine with the terms, you can just sign on it.”Roxanne wasn’t surprised, as that was what they discussed the night before. After going through the document in detail, she placed her signature at the bottom.With the contract signed, Jonathan’s attitude toward her grew warmer. “From now on, we have become partners. Nevertheless, we’ll still need your help with regards to Grandpa’s condition.”Roxanne nodded in acknowledgment. “That’s the least I can do.”After a brief chat, Roxanne
At the same time, Estella, too, threw her a hopeful gaze.Faced with the look in Estella’s eyes. Roxanne, who was about to decline, couldn’t bring herself to say it. In the end, she swallowed her words and nodded at the teacher.In response, Estella’s eyes glistened as she discreetly leaned into Roxanne while holding the latter’s sleeveFrom afar, it looked as if she was leaning in Roxanne’s arms.Sensing the slight movement, Roxanne didn’t stop her nor show her any attention. Instead, she discussed the boys’ affairs with the teacher as if she didn’t realize anything.“I remember that you came back from overseas together with Archie and Benny. Considering that they grew up overseas, I’m surprised at how well they speak Chanaean.”Since the chat was just an excuse, the teacher talked about trivial matters, as Archie and Benny’s performances in class were so impressive that there was nothing to complain about.Roxanne nodded with a smile. “That’s because there were still many Chanaeans
