Chapter 36 Lucian glanced at Roxanne and turned her around by pulling her
wrist. Then he stared at Frieda coldly. “Apologize.” Frieda was flabbergasted
when she heard that. “W-What did you say, Lucian?” Lucian looked at her
loftily, radiating an intimidating aura. “Old Mr. Queen’s condition is extremely
severe right now. If there anyone could save him, that person would’ve shown
up by now since you’d invited every famous doctor from inside and outside ofthe country. But no, that person has never shown up.” Stunned by his fierce
aura, Frieda lowered her head in a panic. “This…” Lucian paused, glanced at
Roxanne, and continued, “Ms. Jarvis has no relation to the Queen family.
She’s only here to treat Old Mr. Queen. It’s fine if you don’t believe her, but
there’s no reason for you to hurt her. Did the Queen family teach you manners
like this? Apologize to her now!”
Jonathan was a little shocked too as he stared at Lucian in disbelief.
I can’t believe it. Lucian is defending a stranger he doesn’t know? He’s not
wrong, though. After all, Frieda had been trying to chase Dr. Jarvis away and
even hit her. Why is she acting so rashly today? Since Lucian had lectured
Frieda, Jonathan also added, “Lucian’s right, Frieda. Apologize to Dr. Jarvis
immediately! As worried as you may be, you shouldn’t have treated her like
that! You’re too rash!” Frieda gritted her teeth and stared at everyone.
Lucian’s protecting that woman behind him and making me apologize. Not
only that, my brother’s defending her, too. Even Essie is demanding I
apologize! There’s no other way out for me! She hesitated for a long while
before lowering her head unwillingly. “I’m sorry, Dr. Jarvis. I was acting too
rashly. My apologies. I shouldn’t have hit you.” Her tone was very rigid and
insincere. Roxanne didn’t want to care about what was going on, but at the
same time, she was staring at Lucian absentmindedly.
What is he thinking? Why is he helping me again? Before I started the
treatment, he was the one who was trying to stop me from advancing. But
when I was treating Old Mr. Queen, he helped out, and now he’s even
defending me. His intentions are so unclear… “Frieda has admitted her
mistake, but I don’t expect you to forgive her that quickly, Dr. Jarvis. However,
as you said, my grandpa’s condition is worsening. Can you please treat him
first. We can discuss how we can make up for my sister’s misdeed in the
future.” Jonathan’s voice rang in her ears. Roxanne was still pretty upset, but
when she thought about the research institute, she suppressed her
displeasure. Besides, Jonathan was right. Alfred did need a doctor quickly,
and he was innocent. When she thought about that, she calmed down and
swept her gaze past the crowd in the room before ordering coldly, “I hope
unrelated persons will leave this room before I restart my treatment.” Frieda
was about to say she was family before Roxanne added, “That includes Ms.
Queen.” Frieda’s expression darkened, but Jonathan agreed and asked
everyone else to leave. The only people left were Jonathan, Lucian, and a
clingy Estella. Roxanne sat next to the bed and prepared her
treatment.novelgram
