Chapter 42


    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 her.


    However, Roxanne hesitated at being rewarded for a task she had yet toplete.


    After all, the Queen family had initially dered that they would only supply medicine at half price to


    whoever that cured Alfred.


    When she didn’t say a word, Jonathan simply stared at her with a grin.


    Roxanne smiled back. “To be honest, I dide here to treat Old Mr. Queen after a friend told me that


    your family was willing to sell medicine at half price to whoever cured him. But now that he has only just


    awakened and his condition hasn’t stabilized, I don’t think it’s appropriate to talk about the reward. At


    the very least, we can wait till his situation makes a turn for the better.”


    Jonathan’s smile broadened upon hearing Roxanne’s answer. He then replied with even greater


    sincerity, “Dr. Jarvis, the fact that Grandpa is awake is already a miracle to us. As for his follow-up


    treatment, we have the utmost confidence in you. Consequently, you have earned the right for us to


    discuss your reward.”


    Surprised at how much faith he had in her, Roxanne was briefly stunned. When she finally regained her


    senses, she took a seat on the couch.


    “You were rmended by Dr. Galloway. When he came to see Grandpa back then, he did bring up


    the situation at the research institute. However, since he was unable to help Grandpa, the matter ended


    up in limbo.”


    Jonathan exined further, “Now that he has sent you here, I’m sure it has something to do with the


    research institute. Is my guess spot on?”


    Roxanne nodded slightly before rting the research institute’s situation to him.

    “The research institute is currently working on a few projects. Unfortunately, progress is being held


    back by theck of medicines. As a result, we’ve been searching for a medicine supplier whom we can


    work with. Unfortunately, we ended up being rejected by everyone in Horington. With no other choice,


    Colby thought of the Queen family and figured that I should give it a try.”


    Looking at Jonathan, Roxanne exined earnestly, “Of course, even without the reward, I would still do


    my best to treat Old Mr. Queen. The reward is nothing more than a bonus to me.”


    When Roxanne’s serious expression earned Jonathan’s further respect, he repeated, “I would like to


    apologize again for the doubt I’ve shown you earlier. You truly are an exceptional doctor.”


    Acknowledging his praise, Roxanne stared intently at Jonathan while waiting for him to discuss the


    medicine supply.


    With no time to waste, Jonathan jumped right into it after gaining an understanding of the situation,


    “Now that Grandpa has awoken after receiving your treatment, we hope that you will continue taking


    good care of him. As for the reward promised by our family, I have the authority to make a decision. As


    a start, I will provide the research institute with its first batch of medicine free of charge as a sign of our


    gratitude. Subsequently, our family will sign a long-term contract with the institute to supply medicine at


    half price.”


    Roxanne gradually understood the situation.

    After watching Alfred regain consciousness from her treatment, Jonathan was thoroughly convinced

    that she could cure him.


    As for the first batch of free medicine, it was both a gift and also an effort to reassure her.


    After all, that batch would solve the urgent shortage at the research institute, allowing her to


    concentrate on curing Alfred without any distractions.


    Needless to say, Jonathan’s proposal was extremely tempting.


    “All right. Please rest assured that I will do my best to cure Old Mr. Queen.”
