Chapter 390


    Jonathan could see that Roxanne was worried, and he could decipher


    what she was worried about, so he rephrased his words. “Queen Group won‘t have a falling out with Fa


    rwell Group because of something trivial as this, and I won‘t risk Queen Group either. Naturally, I‘ve ma


    de all the preparations beforeing here to talk about this with you.”


    The hesitance on Roxanne‘s face slowly faded away as she stared at his confident expression. Howev


    er, she still could not stop herself from asking, “But why are you helping me out? Is it just because I cur


    ed Old Mr. Queen‘s illness?”

    When Jonathan thought about his conversation with Lucian the night before, the


    thoughts he had whilst he looked into Roxanne‘s eyes changed.


    However, Roxanne only felt strange as she stared back at him.

    Half a beatter, Jonathan slowly stated, “My grandpa had been bedbound for


    years, and it‘s all thanks to you, Dr. Jarvis, that he can recover to this point. Moreover, you‘ve said befo

    This is a great favor you‘ve done to the Queen family, and my grandpa even thinks of you as one of the


    Queens. He has asked me to be extra considerate with you.”


    Roxanne was suddenly reminded of the way Alfred tried to match–make her and Jonathan.


    Hence, upon hearing Jonathan‘s words, she began wondering if Alfred had yet to give up on that.


    An apologetic look then crossed her face as she solemnly told Jonathan, “Please thank Old Mr. Queen


    for me. It‘s my duty as a doctor to treat and save patients. Also, it‘s not as if I‘ve not received anything i

    In contrast, Colby‘s heart sunk, and his eyes widened.


    He knew that Roxanne had gotten closer to Jonathan after Roxanne treated Jonathan‘s grandfather.


    However, he had no idea that Alfred had borne such thoughts before.


    Even though Roxanne had not voiced it out loudl Colby could guess that Alfred wanted to match make h


    with Jonathan.


    It took Jonathan a while before he could dismiss the exasperation he felt. Amused, he then exined to


    Roxanne, “It has nothing to do with that. You‘ve already rejected him, so how can my grandpa still insist

    Finally, Roxanne sighed in relief and smiled at him. “In that case, I‘ll have to go along with this, Mr. Quee
