It was apparent that they did not buy her explanation at all. Roxanne cast a glance at Jack, hoping that he would help her out.However, Jack only smiled before turning away and changing the topic. “No matter what kind of relationship we have, it won’t affect our ability to treat you. Next, please.”He did not deny the elderly people’s a*sumption of their relationship, and so the elderly people became even more confident about their guesses as they looked at Roxanne and Jack lovingly.Upon realizing that she could not change their minds, Roxanne decided to drop the topic.Nevertheless, she later made sure not to do anything to let others misunderstand the nature of her relationship with Jack.Roxanne ended up consulting dozens of elderly people, but their health issues were all common and not too severe.As she was fully prepared to find their conditions had worsened, she was glad to see that they seemed better than she had thought they would be.Thank God they’re not doing as terrib

Just then, Jack’s muffled voice rang out beside Roxanne. “Ms. Jarvis, are you okay?” Roxanne forcefully blinked her eyes to clear her head, but all her efforts proved futile.Despite having heard Jack’s question, she couldn’t muster the energy to reply, so she could only acknowledge him by holding eye contact.Jack had also drunk quite a lot, and after noticing how intoxicated Roxanne was, he knew it was time to bid farewell to Terence and the family members.“It’s getting late. We should be heading back to get some rest. We’ll still have to return to the nursing home tomorrow to continue the treatments.”Upon hearing that, the crowd knew better than to take up any more of the duo’s time. As such, everyone expressed their gratitude once more before seeing Roxanne and Jack out of the restaurant.With Roxanne in such a drunken stupor, Jack had to keep her steady by holding her arm.There were even a few instances when he tried to pull the doctor into his arms so they could walk togethe

The next morning, Lucian woke up first. Roxanne had drunk too much and gone through a lot the night before, so she was still fast asleep in his arms.Lowering his head, Lucian was met with the adorable sight of Roxanne’s face. Her breaths were soft and steady, her long, doll-like lashes quivering slightly.When he moved his gaze downward, the marks he left on her body came into view.Right at that moment, memories of the previous night rushed into Lucian’s head.His breathing turned labored as he wrapped his arms around Roxanne tightly. Overcome by his emotions, he trailed feather-light kisses on her forehead, her eyes, and down her neck.Feeling something ticklish on her face, Roxanne struggled to wake up.When she opened her eyes, she saw Lucian’s handsome features right before her and felt his hot breath fanning over her face.Lucian was holding her waist, his touch scorching her skin.Roxanne froze for a few seconds before realization hit her. Like a startled prey, she shoved Luc

Roxanne wasn’t sure what was going on with herself, but she really didn’t want to be misunderstood by Lucian, especially regarding her relationship with Jack. After ending her sentence, she gazed at his expression carefully.Her explanation calmed him down, prompting him to withdraw his frigid expression.“He wasn’t acting differently last night, and I had no conflict with him. I don’t know why he suddenly checked out.” He spoke as though his dispute with Jack last 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 explained their relationship 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,

“When did you buy it?” questioned Roxanne with a slightly tense tone and trembling eyelashes. We didn’t leave each other when we were in the mall, and I didn’t see him buy a gift. Lucian knitted his eyebrow and answered in a resigned tone, “When I brought my bags here earlier. I didn’t expect you to get lost when I was delayed for a few minutes.”His lips curled into a wry smile when he recalled the rare dazed look on her face from earlier.When he brought that up, she blushed and reflexively avoided his stare, inadvertently shifting her line of sight to the box on the seat.Lucian coaxed, “Get in the car. It’s getting late. If we don’t set off now, it’ll be night by the time we return home.”Nodding hesitantly, Roxanne stepped into the seat.He entered the driver’s seat and drove off.Meanwhile, she put the white box on her knees instead of opening them.He didn’t urge her either.After they left the parking lot, he asked, “Do you want to visit the nursing home first, or should we h
