Back at the research institute, Jack carried Roxanne into her office.
Even though the hallway was spacious and he could've just treated Roxanne there, concerned employees would occasionally stick their noses into the situation.
Plus, he also needed a quiet environment to treat Roxanne.
At the same time, Colby returned to the hallway after sending the message only to find out Jack and Roxanne were gone.
“Where's Dr. Jarvis?”
Colby grabbed one of the researchers, his expression grim.
The researcher was briefly taken aback before pointing at Roxanne's office. “I think I saw Mr. Damaris carrying her into the office.”
A dark glint flashed across Colby's eyes when he heard that. He then nodded at the researcher. “Thanks.”
Before the researcher could respond, Colby strode toward the office.
I just took my gaze off them for one second, and Jack took that window to create an opportunity for them to be alone. Luckily, I'm confident in my skill. I'm sure there's no way Jack can easily succeed in treating Roxanne. If Jack wants to use this chance to please Roxanne, he's basically dreaming.
With that in mind, Colby slowed down his pace.
He took his time walking over to Roxanne's office. After putting on a worried look, he knocked on the door.
Jack was in the midst of examining Roxanne's condition when he heard knocking on the office door.
Subsequently, Colby entered the room with a look of concern.
“Mr. Damaris, how's Dr. Jarvis? I've already contacted the hospital. We can head over there any time.”
Jack merely cast a glance at him. “Please open all the windows.”
Roxanne needed someone by her side at that moment. Hence, even though Jack knew the room needed to be ventilated, he couldn't step away from her. Colby's arrival was just in time.
