After some time, Roxanne asked concernedly, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
The boy shook his head. He felt nothing apart from the moments the needles were inserted.
Only then did Roxanne feel relieved.
She waited for a little while longer before retrieving all the needles when the time was up.
Seeing that, the boy sat up on the bed and asked naively, “Ms. Jarvis, am I healed?”
A sharp pang hit Roxanne's heart. “No. We'll need to continue observing you in the future. Remember to pay more attention to your health and don't take part in vigorous exercises, okay?”
The boy nodded.
Then, Roxanne prescribed him some traditional medicine, to which Jack gave many suggestions.
After a thorough contemplation, she still accepted his suggestions and made changes to the prescription.
When that was completed, the boy took the paper and went looking for the staff responsible for packing the medicines.
Sadness was written all over Roxanne's face as she watched him leave.
Perhaps it was because the medical consultation had gone extremely well and the boy's illness was not too severe. Still, Roxanne could not help but feel bad for him.
If he were an ordinary child, his parents would do everything in their power to care for him if they found out about his condition. But this child is an orphan... If not for this medical consultation, he would've...
Just as she was about to be overwhelmed by sorrow, Jack's voice sounded from behind her.
“Don't worry. The follow-up treatment from my family's medical consultation is free. We'll continue to observe his condition until he has recovered.”
Upon hearing that, Roxanne turned around and shot him a grateful look. “I'd like to thank your family on behalf of the kid.”
Jack let out a hearty laugh. After calming himself down, he raised his brow at the remaining gifts she placed by the wall. “What are you going to do with these?”
Following his line of sight, Roxanne grabbed the bags and informed, “Please wait for me. I'll distribute these to the other children.”
Hence, Jack nodded and waited patiently.
