Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 694

Chapter 694 Having Lunch With Me

The tension in the ward was lifted the moment they found a treatment plan. Jamie flashed Roxanne a grateful smile when he heard he would get better soon. “Thanks, Ms. Jarvis.”

Roxanne’s expression turned solemn when she heard his weak voice. “I’m just doing my job, so there’s no need to thank me. You must’ve had a really rough time, huh?”

Jamie nodded shyly with an anxious look on his face. This is the first time someone apart from the orphanage director and the other kids has shown me genuine concern! On top of that, she’s also really pretty! She kind of reminds me of Mom…

Roxanne patted him gently on the head. “I’ve prescribed you some medication. Make sure to take your medicine according to the instructions, and you’ll get better in no time. You also need to eat properly after you’re discharged, okay? I know you don’t feel like eating a lot, but you have to force yourself to anyway. Otherwise, you’ll end up suffering like this again. Is that understood?”

Jamie nodded obediently in response.

Roxanne let out a relieved chuckle when she saw him complying with her instructions.

For some reason, Jack felt his heart skip a beat when he saw her comforting Jamie so patiently.

The orphanage director returned with the medication shortly after and thanked the two profusely for helping out.

Roxanne flashed him a faint smile as she replied, “We’re just doing our job. You must’ve had it rough looking after all these kids at the orphanage.”

She then pulled out a wad of cash from her wallet and handed it over to the director. “I didn’t bring much cash with me since I left in a hurry today. It’s not much, but you can use this to buy Jamie some food to replenish the nutrients he’s lacking. Just give me a call if the orphanage ever needs anything in the future.”

“You two have already done a lot to help the orphanage out. I can’t possibly accept your money! If anything, I should be the one thanking you!” the orphanage director protested.

“However…” Jack added.

Roxanne tensed up when she heard that. “What is it? Is there an issue with Jamie’s condition?”

“While I was indeed just doing my job, I can’t exactly stop you from expressing your gratitude toward me. I feel like just saying thanks isn’t sincere enough, though.”

Roxanne frowned as she found that sentence somewhat familiar, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

Even so, she knew she had to do something after hearing what Jack said.

“You’re right, Mr. Damaris. I should’ve realized this sooner. Since it’s almost noon, how about having lunch with me?” she asked.
