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? | 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 | 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. | can’t possibly accept your money! If anything, | should be the one
thanking you!” the orphanage director protested.
Roxanne shoved the money into his hand and said, “I’m a mother of two, and | can’t stand seeing children suffer. Think of this as
me trying to show the children some motherly love.”
The orphanage director was about to say something, but Roxanne stopped him by changing the topic and bringing up Jamie’s
medication.
Seeing as she wouldn’t take no for an answer, the orphanage director had no choice but to accept her money.
After giving some instructions regarding Jamie’s prescription, Roxanne said goodbye and left the ward with Jack.
“Thank you for the pointers earlier, Mr. Damaris. Had it not been for your help, | would probably still be struggling with the
prescription right now,” Roxanne said gratefully as the two of them walked down the corridor.
Jack arched an eyebrow at her in response. “I was just doing my job.”
Roxanne pursed her lips and flashed him a smile.
“However…” Jack added.
Roxanne tensed up when she heard that. “What is it? Is there an issue with Jamie’s condition?”
“While | was indeed just doing my job, | can’t exactly stop you from expressing your gratitude toward me. | 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. | should’ve realized this sooner. Since it’s almost noon, how about having lunch with me?” she asked.
