Upon waking up the following morning, she wasted no tbrowsing the discussion online.

Lucian’s announcement from the night before topped the trending topics, above the other popular topics from the day before that lay below, forgotten. The search phrases of the posts were also almost completely deleted.

Roxanne deemed the matter resolved and was finally appeased.

She was getting out of bed to prepare breakfast for the children when Jack suddenly called.

Roxanne picked up at once, thinking it pertained to the project. “What happened, Mr. Damaris?” She sounded apologetic, as she feared her being the subject of tabloid gossip would affect the project.

Jack sounded concerned on the other end. “Are you all right? | saw the comments online yesterday and considered dropping by, but | was swamped. Now that | have stto spare, I'm calling to check if the comments have brought you down.” Roxanne froze before a feeling of warmth engulfed her heart. “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Damaris. I'm fine.

Besides, the matter has been resolved. I'm just concerned it might affect our project.” Jack laughed, seemingly unbothered. “I'm just glad you're okay. | got the project handled, and nothing will happen.” “Thank you for all your hard work of late,” Roxanne said gratefully. “I'm well-rested now and will return to work next week.” “No rush. I'm not calling you for that,” Jack said, his tone mysterious. “I thought you might be feeling down from the incident yesterday, so | called to ask if you'd like to have a day out to feel better.” This offer sounds like a date.

Frowning slightly, Roxanne rejected without hesitation, “No, thank—" Before she could finish speaking, Jack cut her off, “Don’t be so hasty to turndown. Having a day out is the secondary reason for my asking. The first is that my grandfather wantsto take you to the Damaris family’s medical consultation to teach you sof our family’s medical arts while we're there.” Since he had invoked Hector’s name, Roxanne could not say no.

Besides, she bectempted by the prospect of learning the Damaris family’s secrets.

“There is a nursing hin Jadeborough. The person in charge disappeared with the funds and left behind many elderly people who needed help, plus skind-hearted staff. Despite their best intentions to care for the elderly, there aren’t enough funds. Seven starved to death, while others had a relapse.” Jack spared no detail in describing the condition of the medical consultation to her. “This is a mission with a lot at stake. The Damaris family is mobilizing every doctor from the project to Jadeborough next week to help treat the elderly.

Grandpa recognizes your skill and leftrepeated reminders to include you in this mission.” Then, as if worried about making her uncomfortable, he added, “It'll take a little longer this time, so we will spend two days in Jadeborough. If you cannot spare the time, | won't force you. | understand you have your own children to care for.” Roxanne would not turn him down at the chance to learn the Damaris family’s medical arts and to aid elderly people who were critically in need of medical attention. “All right, | will be there on time.” Jack’s eyes flashed with glee. “Then I'll be there waiting for you.” Roxanne promised to go without hesitation.
