Lucian glanced at Roxanne and turned her around by pulling her wrist. Then he stared at Frieda coldly. “Apologize.”
Frieda was flabbergasted when she heard that. “W-What did you say, Lucian?”
Lucian looked at her loftily, radiating an intimidating aura. “Old Mr.
Queen's condition is extremely severe right now. If there anyone could save him, that person would've shown up by now since you'd invited every famous doctor from inside and outside of the country. But no, that person has never shown up.”
Stunned by his fierce aura, Frieda lowered her head in a panic.
“This...” Lucian paused, glanced at
Roxanne, and continued, “Ms. Jarvis has no relation to the Queen family. She's only here to treat Old Mr. Queen. It's fine if you don't believe her, but there's no reason for you to hurt her. Did the Queen family teach you manners like this? Apologize to her now!”
Jonathan was a little shocked too as he stared at Lucian in disbelief.
I can't believe it. Lucian is defending a stranger he doesn't know? He's not wrong, though. After all, Frieda had been trying to chase Dr. Jarvis away and even hit her. Why is she acting so rashly today?
Since Lucian had lectured Frieda, Jonathan also added, “Lucian's right, Frieda. Apologize to Dr. Jarvis immediately! As worried as you may be, you shouldn't have treated her like that! You're too rash!”
Frieda gritted her teeth and stared at everyone.
Lucian's protecting that woman behind him and making me apologize. Not only that, my brother's defending her, too. Even Essie is demanding I apologize! There's no other way out for me!
