Chapter 478


    “It looks like the little ones like you a lot, Roxanne.”


    Alongside Jack, Larry walked over with a te of food in his hands and sat across from Roxanne.


    Roxanne greeted him by bobbing her head.


    After smiling at Jack, she turned around and teased Larry, “I’ve more experience taking care of kids


    than you. Besides, I always carry some sweets just in case I need to use them to coax children. It’s


    effective, isn’t it?”


    If it were not for the sweets, Roxanne believed the children would not have cooperated with her no


    matter how much they liked her.


    Jack concurred, “It’s indeed a good trick. We can use it on the children during our medical


    consultations next time.”


    Roxanne froze for a moment and pressed her lips into a thin line. “It’s just something I learned from


    experience since I need to handle my kids.”


    Jack did not continue with the topic as he was more concerned with her mental state. “There will be


    more childrening in the afternoon. Do you want to take a break, Dr. Jarvis? You must be


    exhausted.”


    Roxanne shook her head and gave a serious answer. “I can handle it. I’d undertaken tougher tasks


    when I was overseas. These kids need me, and I can’t just walk away from them.”


    She came here today because she wanted to win the trust of the Damaris family. She also hoped to


    take this opportunity to convince the family to coborate with her.


    But after seeing how sickly the children were, Roxanne abandoned all her initial thoughts. She just


    wanted to try her best to treat those little ones.


    All these children were almost the same age as Archie and Benny, and they reminded Roxanne of her


    two sons and the girl who had passed away at a young age.


    Compared to the fate of these frail children, the exhaustion she experienced was nothing


    Upon hearing that, Jack was astonished by the woman’s determination.


    To Jack, carrying out medical consultations round the clock was already an unbearable burden, even


    for a man. He could not picture how intense Roxanne’s workload must have been when she was


    overseas.

    Out of curiosity, Jack turned to nce at Larry.


    Larry nodded steadily. “You heard that right. The woman standing in front of you is a fighter.”


    Roxanne grinned but kept mum.


    During the conversation, someone came up and sat beside them.


    Roxanne whipped her head around in the person’s direction and saw Daniel awkwardly sitting beside


    her.


    When she saw Daniel’s face, she instantly recalled how he treated her earlier and wondered if he had


    come to find fault with her again.


    All the other doctors looked over. They even wished to bring their tes over and watch the drama


    unfold.

    “Is there anything I can help you with, Dr. Hopp?” Larry initiated the conversation with Daniel as if he


    was trying to protect Roxanne.


    Upon noticing the hostile tone in his voice, Daniel knitted his brows. He looked in Roxanne’s direction


    and asked stiffly, “Why did you help me just now?”


    That question took Roxanne by surprise.


    “Why did you help me persuade the children even though I’ve been finding fault with you?” Daniel


    asked her another question.


    Upon hearing that, Roxanne responded with a casual smile. “Because I believe you’re not just a


    respected expert in traditional medicine but also an ethical doctor. You’ve been picking holes in


    everything I did, but I know you wouldn’t vent your frustration on the kids. I’m sure you only wanted to


    give them the best treatment.”
