Madilyn prescribed some medication and instructed Jonathan on how to take it, then finally advised him to relax and trust the treatment.
She also suggested that he should have a follow-up examination in a month if he was not afraid of a gastroscopy.
Jonathan was indeed a little traumatized, so Madilyn smiled sheepishly and promised that she would find him another doctor next time.
After he left, Madilyn informed Roxanne of his condition.
“His medication caused this? What kind of medication did he take that could cause such serious damage to his stomach?” Roxanne asked out of professional habit, but Madilyn had promised to keep the secret and brushed it off.
“It's a type of sleep aid, and I don't know where he got it from, but I told him to stop taking it now. Please prepare some stomach-tonifying herbs for him.”
Hearing that, Roxanne agreed.
After a long day of work, when Roxanne returned to the villa, the three little ones gathered around her.
“Mommy, you must be tired. Have some water.”
“Daddy said you always have to stand during experiments, so let me massage your legs!”
“Mommy, let me do it too! I'll massage your shoulders!”
Roxanne had a hunch that they wanted something in return for their attentiveness. “What do you want? Some toys or a trip somewhere?”
She glanced at Archie, Benny, and Estella in turn and noticed that their eyes were indeed sparkling with anticipation.
“We don't want a trip or any toys. We want to go to the orphanage and donate some money we've saved up. Can we?” Estella's face was filled with hope.
Roxanne was taken aback by their initiative but immediately agreed. “That's a great idea. Why would I say no? I'll take you there tomorrow.”
At that, the three children were elated.
