Hearing that, Archie and Benny frowned in disappointment. They then offered Roxanne some comforting words, “Never mind, Mommy. Someone else will come out with a way to save them! Children are blessed, so we’ll surely grow up healthily!”
The kids at the orphanage were so sick that Roxanne couldn’t be of help. Archie and Benny were disappointed, but they knew their mother was definitely more depressed
than them at the thought.
Hearing their comforting words, Roxanne pursed her lips and flashed a smile. “That’s what I think, too.“
“But they don’t have parents. They must be sad,” Benny said as he stared at Roxanne earnestly
I have Mommy, but sometimes, I still wish that Daddy is with me. The children at the orphanage don’t even have a mommy. I feel sorry for them.
Roxanne bobbed her head as her lips curved into a stiff smile. “Their new daddies and mommies will bring them home soon.”
Benny tilted his head and asked gingerly, “Do the people at the orphanage treat them well? Do they get to eat and sleep well?”
Knowing he was worried about the kids, Roxanne grinned and assured him, “The people at the orphanage treat them well. This afternoon, Mr. Queen donated some supplies to the orphanage, so their situation will get better. If you’re still worried, I can bring you two there to visit them someday.”
Archie’s and Benny’s eyes lit up in delight. “Really? Can we really visit them?”
Roxanne smiled as she nodded. “We need to bring many delicious food and toys for them!” the boys enthused.
Roxanne was pleased by how caring they were.
It was getting late, so Roxanne chatted with the boys briefly before putting them to bed. After they fell asleep, she returned to her own room.
Roxanne was physically and mentally exhausted after working hard the entire day. She washed up quickly and went to bed. The following day, Roxanne woke up and headed to the research institute.
The staff knew that she had participated in the Damaris family’s medical consultation yesterday, so they immediately came to her to ask her about it.
“Dr. Jarvis, how did the medical consultation go?”
“Are the Damarises that skilled in medicine as the rumors claimed?”
A barrage of questions sounded in Roxanne’s ears.
Her lips curled up as she explained, “The Damaris family’s medical consultation isn’t as mysterious as you think. Think of it as an ordinary medical consultation that normal hospitals offer. As for their medical skills, I don’t have the right to comment on that. However, seeing how influential they are, they must be more capable than the usual doctors.”
Everyone had been too busy treating the children to notice whether the other doctors were equipped with exceptional skills.
However, it was clear that they were excellent in some way as they were able to gather so many reputable doctors.
Besides, Roxanne was also impressed by the medical equipment invented by the Damaris family.
Hearing that, everyone stopped asking about the Damaris family and instead quizzed her about the medical consultation.
Roxanne remained patient and told them everything they wanted to know.
Colby interrupted the crowd’s questions and led Roxanne out of the research facility before things got out of hand. “The Damaris family has plans to build a research institute, righı? Did they say anything before you left?” he questioned.
Roxanne’s brows knitted, for she wasn’t sure of that. “I don’t know. They said nothing of the sort during the medical consultation yesterday, and I couldn’t ask them outright,” she told Colby truthfully,
A deep line appeared between Colby’s brows. “Did they notice you?” he asked anxiously.
He knew why Roxanne decided to join the medical consultation. She wanted to establish connections with the Damaris family and exchange ideas regarding the medical industry. She also wanted to collaborate with the Damaris family to elevate their research institute to a higher position.
Never mind if the Damaris family didn’t mention the research institute. I wonder if Roxanne managed to befriend any of them.
Roxanne appeared hesitant. “I think so. But he only acknowledged my medical skills and said nothing else.”
After all, Jack hadn’t even asked for her contact details before he left the venue.
Thus, it was pretty hard for her to contact the Damaris family in the future.
Holding that thought, Roxanne let out a sigh of regret. I’m afraid I won’t get the opportunity to read the ancient medicine books that the Damaris family has.
Colby fell silent for a moment before he patted her on the shoulder. “Never mind. It’s enough that they acknowledged your medical skills. There are many doctors in the country, but only a few manage to catch the Damaris family’s attention. You’re now one of them.”
Hearing his encouraging words, Roxanne chuckled gaily. “You’re right. I don’t know if I’ve achieved my initial goal, but what we did yesterday was more meaningful than my goal. I nursed many kids back to health, so it doesn’t matter even if the Damaris family didn’t notice me.”
Admiration flashed across Colby’s gaze. “I’m glad you think that way.”
At noon, everyone in the research institute gathered for lunch to celebrate the success of the medical consultation yesterday.
After lunch, Roxanne drove to the Queen residence. It was all thanks to Alfred that she got to participate in the medical consultation, so she had to offer her gratitude to him personally.
The Queen family had also delivered some supplies last afternoon, so she also wanted to thank them on behalf of the kids at the orphanage. While she was at it, she needed to ask them what that was about too.
On the way there, she gave Jonathan a call to inform him of her arrival.
When she arrived at the Queen residence, Jonathan was already waiting in the living room.
Seeing her, he got to his feet and gave her a welcoming smile. “Dr. Jarvis, are you here to visit my grandpa? He’s resting upstairs. Should I ask him to come down now?”
Roxanne chuckled and shook her head. “I don’t mind waiting. I need to talk to you, too.”
Jonathan arched a brow in confusion. “What is it about?”
After they sat on the couch, Roxanne parted her lips and said, “Last afternoon, Rex delivered a huge bunch of supplies to the orphanage. He told me you gave him the order, so I’d like to thank you on behalf of the children in the orphanage.”
Jonathan nodded and flashed a knowing smile. “Yes, you should say thank you. But you shouldn’t be thanking me.”
Roxanne was taken aback. “Was it Old Mr. Queen’s order?”
That was the only possibility she could come up with.
Jonathan shook his head.
