To show his respect, he would meet each of them in person.
The doctors endorsed by prestigious families were usually members of those families. Most of them had already made a name for themselves in the traditional medicine scene as well.
However, the woman before him, recommended by the Queen family, was different. She was not from the Queen family, and Jack had never even heard of her name. He only knew she had treated Alfred.
Jack had asked Larry about her earlier and understood that she was Harvey’s student.
Despite having some knowledge about her, he did not expect Roxanne to be a young and beautiful woman.
As he scrutinized her, Roxanne could not help but feel nervous. Even so, she stood there with confidence.
After some time, the man looked away and curled his lips into a smile. He stretched out his hand and welcomed her, “I have heard much about you. My name is Jack Damaris, and I’m the person in charge of the medical consultation this time.”
Roxanne reached out to shake hands with him.
Somehow, Jack seemed cold when he did not speak. However, once he opened his mouth, he seemed like a warm person.
Roxanne could not help but think about the man who welcomed her at the door and attributed it to the Damaris family’s good upbringing.
As for Jack, she had heard of him before.
Over the past few days, Roxanne had read up on the Damaris family while studying for the medical consultation. She knew that Jack was Hector’s grandson and also the best doctor from the Damaris family’s youngest generation.
As the Damaris family had been keeping a low profile in recent years, Jack rarely showed up in front of the public, and it made him seem mysterious.
When she was going through that information, Roxanne could not help but wonder what kind of a person he was. Now, she could finally put a face to the person she had read about.
“I heard you used traditional medicine to treat Old Mr. Queen’s condition,” Jack said in a low voice.
Nodding, Roxanne explained, “According to my judgment, using traditional medicine was more suitable in treating Old Mr. Queen’s condition. It would also work faster.”
Then, she looked up to see Jack’s reaction.
It seemed like he wanted her to continue.
Therefore, Roxanne recounted her journey in treating Alfred’s illness.
Jack raised his brows while hearing her speak. He was surprised by how composed the young lady was when she talked about Alfred’s condition. In addition, he had to admit that she made sense.
When Alfred was severely ill, the Damaris family sent quite a few people to help him get back in shape. However, as he was quite weak, they did not dare to use overly drastic measures.
Once Alfred told her of his condition, Roxanne inserted each needle in his critical points before managing to save him.
After hearing Roxanne’s analysis, Jack could not help but ask, “Considering Old Mr. Queen’s health back then, what reason did you have to decide on such an acupuncture method?’
Roxanne was stunned for a while. Back then, she had taken a huge risk. If she explained it to Jack like that, he might not believe her.
After all, her method was too risky.
Upon that thought, Roxanne hesitated for a moment before explaining, “I chanced upon it in a medical book. Coincidentally, Old Mr. Queen’s condition matched what was described there, so I wanted to give it a try.”
Jack nodded in understanding, not suspecting her words at all.
It was true that Harvey had a few precious books. Since Roxanne was his disciple, it was not strange that she would have read those books.
Furthermore, Roxanne was still very young. Jack did not believe that her medical skills would be extremely advanced.
“Luckily, you thought of that idea. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have recovered so quickly,” said Jack politely with a smile.
Roxanne responded with a humble smile.
They chatted for a while. Jack’s polite attitude caused Roxanne to let her guard down slowly.
Initially, she assumed that Jack would be arrogant because he was from the Damaris family. To her surprise, the Damaris family had remarkable upbringing methods, and he was very humble.
Seems like our cooperation will be very smooth in the future.
A staff knocked on the door and entered. “Mr. Damaris, the hospital is already prepared. The kids are waiting.”
When Jack heard that, a serious expression crossed his face. “It’s almost time. Dr. Jarvis, let’s change our clothes and prepare.”
Roxanne nodded before following the staff to change her clothes.
When she walked out of the changing room, she bumped into Larry again.
Although she had already mentally prepared herself, she could not help but feel… nervous now that the medical consultation was about to start. When she saw a familiar face, her anxiety dissipated slightly. Smiling, she greeted him, “Larry!”
Larry returned her smile and patted her shoulder. “Don’t be nervous. Just treat it as a normal consultation with a kid. With your skills, there should be no problems.”
Roxanne smiled.
As they spoke, Jack also walked over after changing his clothes. “Are you ready? Let’s go.”
As they were about to start work, Jack looked very serious. His stern aura returned to him.
Roxanne was stunned for a while before shooting a look at Larry instinctively.
Larry smiled. “He knows that we are acquaintances. In fact, he even asked me about you earlier. I’m sorry that your efforts went to waste.”
By saying that, he was referring to how Roxanne chose to come alone in order to avoid any suspicions.
Since Jack already knew that she was acquainted with Larry, Roxanne felt calmer. She nodded at Larry before walking out together with the other man.
Only a few minutes had passed, but there was now a lot more equipment in the courtyard compared to when she first arrived.
Roxanne scanned the place.
Although the Damaris family was a prestigious family in the traditional medicine field, there were quite a few pieces of modern medical equipment placed in the courtyard. This was to make it easier to treat the children.
The doctors who were queuing up earlier had already entered their own cubicles. Smiling amiably, they looked at the children waiting to enter.
Everything looked very formal.
