After the little interlude between Daniel and Roxanne, the meal could be considered a jovial one.
When lunch was over, the doctors grouped up according to their respective cubicles and walked back together. The children obediently followed behind. Many doctors had already formed a friendly bond with the children.
The children crowded around Roxanne, causing Jack and the others to find it rather hard to move along.
With some difficulty, they reached the entrance to their cubicle, and the candy in Roxanne's purse was nearly all gone.
When they entered, Daniel still had some candy left. Hence, he seemed more popular than Roxanne as the children crowded around him with smiles. They appeared to have forgotten the unhappy incident from the morning.
It was heartwarming for Roxanne to see the children growing so fond of Daniel.
She knew children well. They were not one to hold a grudge. No matter what one did to them, as long as one treated them sincerely, they would reciprocate with genuine affection.
These children were just the same.
When Daniel had nearly given away all his candy, Roxanne clapped her hands and told the children to come back and line up. “Darlings, it's time for you to receive your treatment.”
Fortunately, the children in the cubicle had complete trust in them by now, and they were obedient even without bribing them with candy. When they heard Roxanne's words, the little ones lined up almost immediately and waited quietly.
The four adults looked at the children and exchanged glances, smiling. Then they began to diagnose and treat the little kids.
Not long afterward, there was a cautious knocking on the cubicle door.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
“Mr. Damaris, a batch of supplies was sent to the door of the orphanage, and we were informed that it is for us.” The staff stood at the door, waiting for Jack's instructions.
