They chatted briefly. As the sky was turning dark, Roxanne got up and bid goodbye to them.
When she got home, Archie and Benny were already there. Lysa had also already prepared dinner.
Roxanne and the boys had their meal together. After dinner, she played with them and waited until they fell asleep before going back to her room.
As Roxanne lay in bed, she couldn't help but think about what Jonathan had told her that afternoon.
It was Lucian who told Jonathan to deliver the supplies. Why did he do that? Jonathan even told me to ask him his motive personally.
Roxanne had a feeling that Jonathan knew something. Why does it feel like there's a hidden meaning in his words?
Conflicting emotions welled up in Roxanne when she came to that conclusion.
As her mind wandered, she slowly fell asleep.
Roxanne was awoken by the sound of her phone ringing early the following morning.
When she looked at the caller ID, she realized it was from a number she did not recognize.
Roxanne hadn’t slept well last night and was woken up rudely by an unknown number, so she answered the call gruffly and demanded in a hoarse voice, “Who is this?”
A few seconds later, the person on the other end of the line chuckled and replied, “It's me, Jack Damaris. Did I wake you up, Dr. Jarvis?”
Roxanne jerked awake and sat up in bed. Rubbing her eyes, she told him, “No. I'm usually awake at this hour, but I fell asleep later than usual last
night.”
Jack laughed understandingly.
“Mr. Damaris, how did you get my phone number?” Roxanne was still in a daze. I remember Jack didn't get my contact details previously.
