Chapter 42: 42

After accepting his gratitude and apology, Roxanne reminded, “Even though

Old Mr. Queen has woken up, his prognosis still looks bleak. He needs at

least six to seven more treatments before he can truly turn the corner.”

Jonathan nodded repeatedly.

“Also, I’ll prescribe some medicine for him to supplement his health, as it will

help with the treatment. After all, the damage that Old Mr. Queen’s body has

suffered is significant. As future treatments require him to be strong enough,

I’m worried that he might not be able to withstand it,” Roxanne continued.

Jonathan naturally had no objections as he nodded in agreement. “Don’t

worry. We will comply with all your instructions regarding Grandpa’s

treatment.” noveldrama

Nodding slightly, Roxanne retrieved a bottle of pills from her bag. “Here, take

two pills three times a day after meals.”

Subsequently, she took out a piece of paper and wrote a prescription for him.

“Based on the quantity I’ve written here, get ten batches of them. Every day,

add them into a soup for Old Mr. Queen to drink. This way, it will hasten his

recovery.”

Jonathan acknowledged, “All right. We’ll follow your instructions.”

After going into the details a little more, Roxanne realized it was getting late

when she checked the time.

Thinking of her two sons waiting for her at home, she got up to leave. “I think

it’s time for me to go, but I’ll be coming back tomorrow. In the meantime, call

me if Old Mr. Queen has any problems.”

With that, she headed to the door with her medical bag in hand.

Glancing at Roxanne’s leaving silhouette, Jonathan called out to her, “Dr.

Jarvis, other than treating Grandpa, I’m sure you have some other reason for

being here.”

Stopping abruptly in her tracks, Roxanne suddenly remembered her objective

for coming over.

But Old Mr. Queen hasn’t recovered fully yet. So, Jonathan…When Jonathan saw her stop, he softened his tone. “Don’t you want to talk

about it first before leaving?”

Chapter 42

Jonathan’s intentions couldn’t be more obvious.

Even though she didn’t bring up the matter of medicine supply, he was

cognizant of her agenda. In fact, he was also interested in exploring the

matter with her.

However, Roxanne hesitated at being rewarded for a task she had yet to

complete.

After all, the Queen family had initially declared that they would only supply

medicine at half price to whoever that cured Alfred.

When she didn’t say a word, Jonathan simply stared at her with a grin.

Roxanne smiled back. “To be honest, I did come here to treat Old Mr. Queen

after a friend told me that your family was willing to sell medicine at half price

to whoever cured him. But now that he has only just awakened and his

condition hasn’t stabilized, I don’t think it’s appropriate to talk about the

reward. At the very least, we can wait till his situation makes a turn for the

better.”

Jonathan’s smile broadened upon hearing Roxanne’s answer. He then replied

with even greater sincerity, “Dr. Jarvis, the fact that Grandpa is awake is

already a miracle to us. As for his follow-up treatment, we have the utmost

confidence in you. Consequently, you have earned the right for us to discuss

your reward.”

Surprised at how much faith he had in her, Roxanne was briefly stunned.

When she finally regained her senses, she took a seat on the couch.

“You were recommended by Dr. Galloway. When he came to see Grandpa

back then, he did bring up the situation at the research institute. However,

since he was unable to help Grandpa, the matter ended up in limbo.”

Jonathan explained further, “Now that he has sent you here, I’m sure it has

something to do with the research institute. Is my guess spot on?”

Roxanne nodded slightly before relating the research institute’s situation to

him.“The research institute is currently working on a few projects. Unfortunately,

progress is being held back by the lack of medicines. As a result, we’ve been

searching for a medicine supplier whom we can work with. Unfortunately, we

ended up being rejected by everyone in Horington. With no other choice,

Colby thought of the Queen family and figured that I should give it a try.”

Looking at Jonathan, Roxanne explained earnestly, “Of course, even without

the reward, I would still do my best to treat Old Mr. Queen. The reward is

nothing more than a bonus to me.” noveldrama

When Roxanne’s serious expression earned Jonathan’s further respect, he

repeated, “I would like to apologize again for the doubt I’ve shown you earlier.

You truly are an exceptional doctor.”

Acknowledging his praise, Roxanne stared intently at Jonathan while waiting

for him to discuss the medicine supply.

With no time to waste, Jonathan jumped right into it after gaining an

understanding of the situation,

“Now that Grandpa has awoken after receiving your treatment, we hope that

you will continue taking good care of him. As for the reward promised by our

family, I have the authority to make a decision. As a start, I will provide the

research institute with its first batch of medicine free of charge as a sign of our

gratitude. Subsequently, our family will sign a long-term contract with the

institute to supply medicine at half price.”

Roxanne gradually understood the situation.

After watching Alfred regain consciousness from her treatment, Jonathan was

thoroughly convinced that she could cure him.

As for the first batch of free medicine, it was both a gift and also an effort to

reassure her.

After all, that batch would solve the urgent shortage at the research institute,

allowing her to concentrate on curing Alfred without any distractions.

Needless to say, Jonathan’s proposal was extremely tempting.

“All right. Please rest assured that I will do my best to cure Old Mr. Queen.”
