Chapter 1397


    Roxanne wasn’t sure what was going on with herself, but she really didn’t want to be misunderstood by Lucian, especially


    regarding her rtionship with Jack.


    After ending her sentence, she gazed at his expression carefully.


    Her exnation calmed him down, prompting him to withdraw his frigid expression.


    “He wasn’t acting differentlyst night, and | had no conflict with him. | don’t know why he suddenly checked out.” He spoke as


    though his dispute with Jackst night didn’t happen.


    Fearing that she might have misunderstood him, Roxanne held back from further thinking about the matter and nodded. “Then I''ll


    give him a call.”


    Lucian’s eyes darkened as he felt the urge to stop her.


    However, he just kept quiet because he believed he should act magnanimously after she exined their rtionship voluntarily.


    After she bade him goodbye, she returned to her room and called Jack.


    It took a while before he answered the phone. “What''s the matter, Ms. Jarvis?”


    Frowning, Roxanne confronted, “The cleaner said you checked outst night.”


    “Mhm,” said Jack, thinking she was wondering why he had left.


    To his surprise, she questioned, “What about today’s medical consultation? Are you still going?”


    The look in his eyes darkened a little. Despite his displeasure, he still sounded gentle when he answered, “I won''t be going. We


    spent the past two days checking up on the elderly with severe affliction, so all that’s left are the rtively healthy ones. You can


    let the other doctors examine them. I''ll head over there if there are any problems.”


    Then he sighed. “Also, | was feeling quite tired yesterday, so | wanted to rest today.”


    He was hinting at Roxanne to ask him about what happenedst night.


    However, she didn’t catch his intentions and merely said, “Then you should rest well, Mr. Damaris. Don’t worry, | can head over


    to the nursing home too if any problems pop up.”


    Jack was not pleased and he frowned. “Thank you, Ms. Jarvis.”


    She didn’t sense the change in his tone and smiled. “It’s what I’m supposed to do.”All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Oh yeah, | recently decided to develop a new medicine, which may require coboration with your research institute. | look


    forward to working with you when the timees, Ms. Jarvis.”


    Without hesitotion, she ogreed possionotely, “Sure! Oh, | olmost forgot. How ore you feeling right now? | remember you dronk o


    lot lost night. Do you feel unwell?”


    Jock osked probingly, “I wos plonning to send you bock first, but Mr. Forwell insisted on doing it insteod. Did he toke good core of


    you?”


    “Yes, he did.” She forced herself to onswer colmly ond tersely os she didn’t wont to soy onything more thon thot.


    Upon listening to her reply, he scowled. Something must''ve hoppened lost night! Why else would she be so unwilling to speok


    further?


    “You should rest if you''re tired, Mr. Domoris. | won’t bother you onymore,” uttered Roxonne noncholontly.


    Knowing he shouldn''t soy onything else, Jock replied in o deep voice ond woited for her to hong up the phone.


    Immediotely ofter the coll ended, he glowered. If my guess is correct, her ottitude toword Lucion hos softened! It’s only o motter


    of time before they remorry if | keep woiting! | need to do something!


    Without hesitation, she agreed passionately, “Sure! Oh, | almost forgot. How are you feeling right now? | remember you drank a


    lotst night. Do you feel unwell?”


    Jack asked probingly, “I was nning to send you back first, but Mr. Farwell insisted on doing it instead. Did he take good care of


    you?”


    “Yes, he did.” She forced herself to answer calmly and tersely as she didn’t want to say anything more than that.


    Upon listening to her reply, he scowled. Something must''ve happenedst night! Why else would she be so unwilling to speak


    further?


    “You should rest if you''re tired, Mr. Damaris. | won’t bother you anymore,” uttered Roxanne nonchntly.


    Knowing he shouldn’t say anything else, Jack replied in a deep voice and waited for her to hang up the phone.


    Immediately after the call ended, he glowered. If my guess is correct, her attitude toward Lucian has softened! It’s only a matter


    of time before they remarry if | keep waiting! | need to do something!
