It did not take long for Frieda to bring the man over. She only took an hour.
Jonathan quickly greeted, “Old Mr. Lomax.”
Peregrine studied the siblings for a moment before turning to speak to Jonathan in a nicer tone. “Where's your grandfather?”
Jonathan furrowed his brows and said, “My grandpa isn't in the pink of health. He has been recuperating away from the house recently. If you want to meet him, I'll bring you to him after you treat my friend.” Then, fearing that the elderly man would misunderstand his words, he quickly added, “My friend's condition is terrible, and she can't afford to waste any more time. Please forgive me for making you travel this far.”
Peregrine seemed satisfied with his attitude, for he nodded his head and said, “It's fine. Saving a life is more important. Where's the patient?”
Jonathan immediately replied, “She's at the hospital. I'll bring you to her right now.”
With that, he strode forward to lead the way.
Frieda deliberately walked at a slower pace to stay by Peregrine's side in an attempt to make her seem closer to him.
After they got into the car, Jonathan drove them to the hospital in a swift but steady manner.
A while later, the car came to a stop by the entrance of the hospital.
Lucian was already waiting downstairs.
After listening to Jonathan's introduction, Lucian figured out that the reclusive experts were prideful individuals. The humbler he showed himself to be, the better the impression they would have of him.
That way, they would do their best to treat Roxanne.
“Lucian, this is Old Mr. Lomax—Peregrine Lomax, a master in medicine.”
Jonathan was surprised to find Lucian waiting for them downstairs, but he soon realized why Lucian was there. He quickly introduced, “Old Mr. Lomax, this is the current head of the Farwell family, Lucian Farwell.”
Lucian lowered his head a little and reached out his hand to Peregrine. “I'm sorry for the trouble, Old Mr. Lomax. I've already hired famous doctors all over the world to treat her, but none knew how. I hope that you'll be able to give us a tip or two.”
