After scrutinizing Lucian for a while to ensure he wasn't faking gratitude, Colby felt a stir of emotions.
“What's your relationship with Dr. Jarvis now?” he blurted out.
Upon hearing that, Lucian suddenly recalled how Colby had mocked him when he first showed up.
Gosh. I was so worried about Roxanne that I completely forgot his words. I doubt I would've remembered them if he hadn't asked that question.
“She and I are together, just like you've guessed,” Lucian answered truthfully, his brows furrowed ever so slightly. “I've already proposed to her, and we'll hold the wedding once she's woken up!”
Technically, Roxanne hasn't agreed to my proposal, and it's also highly probable that she might turn me down... Nevertheless, I'll do everything I can to make her say yes! I don't want to experience the torment of losing her again!
A glimmer of surprise instantly flashed across Colby's eyes.
However, when he thought back to Lucian's earlier attitude, a mix of relief and bitterness washed over him. “Of course. Of the three of us, you've always had the best chance of winning her heart.”
After all, neither Jack nor I could love Roxanne without any agenda. Lucian's different from us, though. He already has ample power and wealth, so his love for Roxanne is undeniably pure and free of ulterior motives.
Feeling somewhat perplexed by Colby's sudden change in demeanor, Lucian stood rooted to the spot and stared silently.
Seconds later, Colby lowered his gaze in defeat. “I can feel that Dr. Jarvis has always cared a lot about you, except she's never wanted to admit her feelings. I, on the other hand, had also chosen to lie to myself. In all honesty, you're the only one she's ever loved. Whether it's six years ago or now, her love for you has never changed.”
