Roxanne’s eve’s glistened with hope and she felt the boulder being lifted off her shoulders. “Why didn’t you say this earlier? That’s a great thing!”

Colby beamed. “I thought about it, but admittedly I’m not good enough. Besides, you were not bere back then. Hence, I gave up and never thought about it until now. Perhaps you can give it a try. What do you think?”

“Of course! Not a problem at all!”

Roxanne confidently stood up to urge him. “Please help me contact the Queen family and help me make an appointment with them.”

Looking at Roxanne’s passion for matters that concerned the research institute, Colby’s heart surged with a sense of relief. He smiled and said, “I’ll do that now. Wait for me here.”

Then, he exited the office and pulled out his phone.

Meanwhile, Roxanne sat quietly in the office and waited.

Irrespective of how complex the treatment would be, Roxanne was determined to cure old Mr. Queen.

Soon after, Colby returned.

“How did it go?” Roxanne eagerly asked.

Colby nodded.

    Roxanne didn’t mind that at all. When she heard the apology, she smiled.“It’s fine. After all, you two are his family members. I understand that you have concerns. However, I assure you I’m capable. I may be young and, I might not look like a doctor with years of experience under my belt, but I’ve researched many complicated diseases abroad. My experience isn’t as plenty as doctors who had been in the profession for decades, but I’mconfident in my abilities.”When she finished, she pulled out a document from her bag and handed it to Jonathan. “This contains my achievements over the years. You can take a look jourself before deciding if I’m qualified to treat Old Mr. Queen.”Jonathan didn’t expect she would be that prepared.When he reprimanded Frieda earlier, he himself didn’t trust Roxanne that much either.However, after seeing how confident she appeared and spoke, it was enough to convince him that she was capable even without looking at her credentials.Still, his responsibility

    Jonathan was taken aback when he saw that.If she’s doing that, it means she practices traditional medicine. It’s hard to believe she’s using such a simple diagnostic method on him.The Queen family had hired medical practitioners of all kinds to treat Alfred’s condition, so he had personally seen different medical techniques being applied to Alfred.That was the reason he was shocked by Roxanne’s action. It was a very simple technique to diagnose Alfred’s condition. Still, he didn’t say anything.She sat next to the bed, holding Alfred’s wrist. Her eyes were lowered as she focused entirely on the activities of his pulse.The more she observed his pulse, the more she was shocked.She thought his condition was severe enough when Colby described it.However, Alfred’s actual condition turned out to be even worse.During her diagnosis, she noticed Alfred’s breathing was so weak that any breath could be his last.After a while, Roxanne let go of the old man’s hand with a heavy expression a

    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.

    Sorry, I… was thinking about something earlier, so I accidentally missed the step,” Aubree murmured in feigned contrition after Catalina had helped her onto the couch. Standing behind the two of them, Lucian said nothing to that.Aubree’s heart sank, and she hypocritically remarked, “I probably twisted my ankle by accident. Let me rest for a while before going over to Mrs. Farwell’s place to tell her about your condition.”Having said that, she acted as though she was afraid that he would worry and flashed him another smile.She initially thought that her comment would garner the man’s sympathy.At the very least, he would allow her to stay over that night.To her disappointment, Lucian merely bobbed his head blithely. Subsequently, he crouched before her.For a moment, she was at a loss.A heartbeat later, a sharp pain came from her ankle, upon which her expression instantly changed.“Does it hurt?” Lucian queried in a deep voice, a hand grasping her injured ankle.Gritting her teet

    Lucian cast a look at Archie and Benny indifferently. A strange feeling inexplicably welled up within Archie and Benny when they met his gaze.The look in Daddy’s eyes when he regards us seems to have changed.In fact, they felt that the man seemingly didn’t want to look at them for long, his gaze only staying on them for a brief moment before leaving in the next heartbeat.“Mr. Farwell?” Benny couldn’t help venturing.Lucian merely inclined his head a fraction. “Ms. Ward will wait with you both.”Having said that, he held his hand out at Estella once more.Estella was reluctant to leave, but she could tell that her father appeared to be angry.After a moment’s hesitation, she ultimately reached out and took his hand.Archie and Benny, on the other hand, could only quieten down and watch helplessly as Lucian left with Estella.“Is Daddy mad at Mommy, Archie?” Benny stared at his brother pitifully.Archie remained expressionless, but disappointment glinted in his eyes.That was also t

    At a single glance, Jack saw right through his parents. Exasperation inexorably swamped him. “Since you’ve investigated Ms. Jarvis, I’m sure you already know that she’s an exceedingly outstanding doctor.”With regard to that statement, Titus and Priscilla had no rebuttal.During the investigation, they had already learned that Roxanne studied under Harvey and was even his top student.That alone was sufficient for them to acknowledge her medical attainments.However, that didn’t mean they could accept the fact that she was a divorcee with kids.Jack could tell that his parents were still influenced by public opinion, so he had no choice but to continue explaining things to them helplessly.“I reckon you’re both aware of the project the Damaris family established recently.”In response, Titus and Priscilla nodded noncommittally.Despite being away from the Damaris residence most of the time, they still kept themselves informed about the Damaris family’s activities.At that, Jack nodde

    However, Roxanne had no idea that Jack had found out about her past. That was why Jack raised his brows and looked at Cayden when he heard her denial.Once again, Cayden felt unjust on Lucian’s behalf.Despite Lucian being ill, he still insisted on helping Roxanne. Cayden could not understand why she was so ungrateful.Furthermore, she seemed so secretive about her relationship with Lucian. It was as though Lucian was an embarra*sment!In spite of his thoughts, there was no way Cayden could express them outright in front of Jack.“These medicinal herbs are difficult to find. Mr. Farwell has transferred nearly all of the remaining medicinal herbs from Herbscape Group.”Roxanne’s heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to calm down quickly.“Please convey my thanks to Mr. Farwell. However—”As far as Roxanne was concerned, Lucian did that in order to compensate for making use of her in the past.Therefore, she had no intention to accept his gift.Moreover, Jack had already provide

    Jack had been staring at her ever since she returned. Naturally, he did not miss the look of anxiousness on her face earlier. “I believe it was rather rude of me to answer the call for you. I hope you don’t mind.”Hearing that, Roxanne grinned as if everything was fine. “It’s okay.”Still, Jack probed, “I wonder why he called you. I tried asking him, but he refused to tell me.”In response, Roxanne shook her head. “I don’t know either.”Intrigued, Jack raised his brow.Though Roxanne thought she had done a good job at concealing her emotions, he still saw through her.After all, the change in her expression was too obvious from the moment she stepped into the tent.Indeed, the phone call stirred up some emotions in her heart.Looks like Lucian has a special spot in her heart. This is interesting.Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office of Farwell Group, Cayden peered at Lucian fearfully.Lucian had been looking unhappy ever since he hung up.

    After some time, Roxanne asked concernedly, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” The boy shook his head. He felt nothing apart from the moments the needles were inserted.Only then did Roxanne feel relieved.She waited for a little while longer before retrieving all the needles when the time was up.Seeing that, the boy sat up on the bed and asked naively, “Ms. Jarvis, am I healed?”A sharp pang hit Roxanne’s heart. “No. We’ll need to continue observing you in the future. Remember to pay more attention to your health and don’t take part in vigorous exercises, okay?”The boy nodded.Then, Roxanne prescribed him some traditional medicine, to which Jack gave many suggestions.After a thorough contemplation, she still accepted his suggestions and made changes to the prescription.When that was completed, the boy took the paper and went looking for the staff responsible for packing the medicines.Sadness was written all over Roxanne’s face as she watched him leave.Perhaps it was because

    That night, Roxanne received a text from Jack before she went to bed. It contained the details to the medical consultation.It was in two days, and the location was an orphanage in the city.After making a mental note of the information, Roxanne typed a simple answer and went to bed early.However, her mind was so occupied with Colby’s words that she could not fall asleep.It was only after an indeterminate time that she finally drifted off to sleep.In the next two days, the boys kept trying to get Roxanne’s attention.To be more specific, they were doing it on Lucian’s behalf.Meanwhile, Roxanne was clueless as to why Archie and Benny were so persistent in mentioning Lucian to her, nor did she know how to deal with them.After pondering about it for some time, she decided to pour all her attention into preparing the medical consultation.When the boys saw she was at work, they finally gave up.Two days later, Jack’s car appeared in front of Roxanne’s house early in the morning.Rox

    “What’s wrong?” Jack and Colby were both gentlemen. They wanted to wait for Roxanne to leave before leaving.However, Roxanne’s car was still parked at the same spot even after they had waited for some time. Thus, they went up to check on her.Roxanne felt a little helpless. “The car’s broken.”Maybe some parts weren’t fully repaired from the accident last time.Hearing that, Jack and Colby exchanged glances, and Jack offered, “Let me help you to check.”With that, he got into the vehicle to check on it.He had always been interested in cars, so he thought something like that was happening because Roxanne did not understand them enough.Just as he was about to get to work, he heard Roxanne say, “This car was knocked by another car some time ago. Maybe the mechanics missed a few parts. I’ll get it repaired another day.”At that, Jack stopped whatever he was about to do.Since she already knows what the problem is, then it’s definitely not a man-made problem.“Then… Let me send you hom

    There was a slight change of expression on Colby’s face when he heard that. Instantly, his eyes were fixated on Roxanne. She wants to treat Jack to a meal? Since when? How come I know nothing about it? Did they contact each other privately?Intrigued, he blurted, “Really? When was that?”Roxanne replied, “I made that suggestion when Mr. Damaris and I were talking about the medicinal herbs last night.”Turning to Jack, she added, “Mr. Damaris has helped our institute fix a huge mess. This meal is nothing significant compared to the favor received.”In other words, she made it clear that the meal was not meant to pay Jack back for his generosity.Jack did not seem bothered by her words.He glanced at Colby and teased Roxanne, “How then does Ms. Jarvis plan to return me the favor?”Jack’s gaze, coupled with his question, made Colby’s heart sink.He quickly turned to Roxanne, impatiently waiting for her response.Putting on a serious expression, she stated, “I’ll definitely make your sac
