Lucian and Jonathan talked business over coffee in the mansion.
There had been no further progress in the investigation of the cause of the accident.
Upon discovering that his sister was employed in Shawn's company, Jonathan wanted to call her back for questioning, but Lucian stopped him.
“It was Shawn who asked Old Mr. Lomax to help us. Though it was Roxanne who had synthesized the antidote, Old Mr. Lomax's help was crucial. I believe Shawn wouldn't stoop to employ such tactics. We can eliminate his involvement with confidence.”
Jonathan nodded. The logic was sound.
The Crawford family from up north was prestigious, controlling many estates and societal elites. Coming from such a family, Shawn would be discreet if he were to be unscrupulous.
“Have you been taking your medicine regularly?” Lucian suddenly asked.
Jonathan nodded. “I have been taking Roxanne's traditional medicine as prescribed. Dr. Xander told me to go back for a follow-up at the end of the month.”
“That's good. Madilyn is very concerned about your condition,” Lucian reminded him subtly, hoping Jonathan would be able to pick up the hint.
To his surprise, Jonathan looked a little embarrassed. “Yes, Dr. Xander has a gentle personality and genuinely cares for people.”
Lucian narrowed his eyes.
There seems to be something going on here. Did something happen after our last visit to the orphanage for donations?
However, he did not feel comfortable asking about it. As Jonathan had always maintained a serious demeanor around him, he could only behave the same.
Noticing something unusual in Lucian's gaze, Jonathan asked, “What's wrong, Lucian?”
“N-Nothing! Keep an eye on Shawn from now on. He lost this time, so he definitely won't take it lying down.”
Jonathan nodded, secretly admiring Lucian in his heart.
