Roxanne quickly composed herself and shifted her gaze from Aubree to Jonathan.
Sharp-eyed as usual, it didn't take long for Jonathan to notice the awkwardness between the two women. He casually approached Roxanne, making sure to block Aubree's line of sight as he did.
“Dr. Jarvis, my grandfather is already waiting for you upstairs. Shall we go up now?”
Roxanne nodded.
With that, Jonathan turned to Aubree to excuse himself and began walking toward the stairs with Roxanne in tow.
As soon as the two of them got to the stairway, Aubree spoke up again. “Ms.
Jarvis, I heard that your course of treatment has helped Old Mr. Queen a lot. I think I shall use this chance to visit him and see you work your magic.
Right after saying that, Aubree followed behind them.
Roxanne knitted her brows, clearly displeased. However, since Jonathan didn't object to it, she had no choice but to pretend that Aubree didn't exist.
Under Roxanne's treatment, Alfred had recovered a fair bit, so much so that he was well enough to move back into his bedroom.
When they got to his room, they found Alfred propped up in bed and looking like he was in good spirits.
“Grandpa, Dr. Jarvis is here,” Jonathan announced as he led Roxanne to the
bed.
After hearing that, Alfred peered at Roxanne with a grateful smile. “Dr. Jarvis, thank you so much for treating me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't still be alive today.”
