Chapter 194
After breakfast. Roxanne thought that the time was still early, so she could possibly make it to the
research institute in time.
“My fever has subsided. Lysa, could you please arrange for my discharge? I need to get some work
done.”
Her work progress at the research institute had been impacted due to the surgery she did for Larry
Therefore, Roxanne did not want to create a backlog of work and fall behind even further.
Lysa hesitated. “Ms. Jarvis, I think you should stay and observe your condition for one more day. I
know how swamped with work you‘ve been recently. You didn‘t fall sick yesterday for no apparent
reason. It‘s because of fatigue! Now that your temperature is kept at bay, you can‘t wait to bury yourself
in work again. I‘m really afraid that your body can‘t cope with it and will copse for the second time.”
Though Lysa had not been serving Roxanne for a long time, she had witnessed enough of how the

raising her children. I
The more time Lysa spent with the family, the more she felt sorry for the single mother of two.
She treated Roxanne like her own daughter, and it broke her heart to see the younger woman fall sick.
“It‘s okay. I‘m used to it already. Moreover, yesterday was just a little ident.” Roxanne removed the
nket and insisted on getting off the bed.
The expression of the man standing not too far away from her turned grim when he heard that.
He recalled the contents of her amazing resume. How did she attain all those achievements within six
short years? What kind of life did she lead when she was abroad? What has she gone through to get to
where she is today?
Lysa was still very concerned. She had not been present when the doctor gave his diagnosis, so she
was clueless about Roxanne‘s actual condition.
While Lysa was still debating what to do, Roxanne had already gotten up from the bed. Fretting, the
former hurriedly turned to Lucian and gave him a pleading look, hoping that he would offer some help
in persuading Roxanne to stay.
Somehow, she just felt that Roxanne would listen to him.
Lucian‘s frown became more pronounced as he strode toward the bed and stared at the stubborn
woman. “The doctor said that you must go through a check–up before he will approve your discharge.”
With that said, he nced at Lysa and instructed, “Please get the doctor here.”
Finally, Lysa heaved a sigh of relief and did as he had requested.
Roxanne‘s brow snapped together disapprovingly. “This is really unnecessary. I know myself, and I
know my body well.”
As a doctor, she was well aware of her own body‘s condition.
It was just a fever. I have recovered, and I can definitely be discharged.
Lucian retorted, “If you did, why would you have copsed at home and gotten so weak that you
couldn‘t even get down from your bed?”
Roxanne was rendered speechless at hiseback.
Upon hearing Lucian‘s words, Archie and Benny chimed in, “Mommy, let‘s get the doctor to perform a
check–up thoroughly.”
Roxanne could not bear to see her boys getting all anxious because of her. Atst, she swallowed her
rejection and obliged.
Soon, Lysa returned to the ward with the doctor.
After a series of examinations, the doctor scanned the group and located the man who had admitted
Roxanne to the hospital. “There appears to be nothing wrong with her, so the patient can be
discharged. However, she must pay attention to her health and get sufficient rest from now on.
Remember, health is wealth.”
Lucian nodded. Then, he cast a look at Roxanne.
After meeting his gaze, Roxanne felt somewhat guilty and lowered her eyes. “Thanks, doctor. I‘ll take

note of this,” she muttered.
With that, the doctor listed a few other usual reminders and left the room.
Upon confirming that all was well with Roxanne, Lysa was put at ease and went ahead to settle the
discharge procedures.
