Chapter 1006 Expecting Someone Else
After some time, Roxanne asked concernedly, “Do you feel ufortable 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 | healed?”
Asharp 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 contemtion, she still epted his suggestions and made changes to the prescription.
When that waspleted, 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 the medical consultation had gone extremely well and the boy''s illness was not too severe. Still,
Roxanne could not help but feel bad for him.
If he were an ordinary child, his parents would do everything in their power to care for him if they found out about his condition.
But this child is an orphan... If not for this medical consultation, he would''ve...
Just as she was about to be overwhelmed by sorrow, Jack’s voice sounded from behind her.
“Don''t worry. The follow-up treatment from my family’s medical consultation is free. We''ll continue to observe his condition until
he has recovered.”
Upon hearing that, Roxanne turned around and shot him a grateful look. “I’d like to thank your family on behalf of the kid.”
Jack let out a heartyugh. After calming himself down, he raised his brow at the remaining gifts she ced by the wall. “What
are you going to do with these?”
Following his line of sight, Roxanne grabbed the bags and informed, “Please wait for me. I''ll distribute these to the other
children.”
Hence, Jack nodded and waited patiently.
Immediately, Roxanne stepped out of the tent, and the children’s cheers immediately sounded on the outside.
Jack chuckled, for he had expected how much the children would like her.
“Mr. Damaris, this is the log for today’s medical consultation. Please have a look.” An employee handed Jack a folder.
Hence, Jack nodded and epted the folder. He had just flipped open the first page when the sound of a phone ringing filled the
tent.
ncing in the direction of the sound, he spotted Roxanne’s phone shing on the table.
Earlier during the medical consultation, they had ced their phones there for convenience.
However, Roxanne forgot to take it with her when she left.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
shing the employee a smile, Jack walked to the table and looked at the phone.
The name on the caller ID was none other than Lucian.
Jack raised his brow and turned his head to nce at the tent’s entrance.
The children’s cheers never stopped, and Roxanne’sughter could be heard in between.
Clearly, Roxanne was having a great time with the kids and would not be back so soon.
At that realization, Jack retracted his gaze and picked up the phone.
Lucian did not speak right away, so Jack purposely kept quiet, too.
It was not after some time that Lucian’s deep voice rang out. “What are you doing?”
As if having just returned to his senses, Jack responded in an exaggerated tone, “Mr. Farwell? Geez, | was expecting someone
else. Why didn’t you say anything? What is it, anyway? Do you need something from Ms. Jarvis?”
Right as he finished his words, a dead silence took over the conversation.
Though Jack said nothing else, the look on his face could easily make others misunderstand.
For a moment, only the sound of their breaths could be heard through the phone.
It was as if they were at a standstill—neither of them spoke or hung up.
