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 I had no conflict with him. I 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?”


    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, I was feeling quite tired yesterday, so I 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, I 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.”


    “Oh yeah, I recently decided to develop a new medicine, which may require coboration with your


    research institute. I look forward to working with you when the timees, Ms. Jarvis.”


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


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


    I 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. I 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 I keep waiting! I need to do something!
