The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 220

Roxanne put down her fork at the thought of being able to receive some guidance from those prominent figures. After taking the invitation card, she expressed her gratitude. “Larry, thanks for being so thoughtful. I truly look forward to it!”

Her current image resembled a child who had received candy.

Larry's eyes sparkled with happiness as he found it rare to see her being that eager. “You're welcome. Previously, you left in a hurry after performing surgery on one of the elders in my family. Thus, I wasn't able to thank you properly. Every day, my elders will nag me to treat you to a meal as they felt very bad about it. Therefore, you can treat this as a token of gratitude.”

Roxanne was filled with anticipation about attending the medical conference. When she heard his comment, she nonchalantly smiled at him. “I was in a hurry to pick up my kids. Besides, I just did what's within my capabilities.”

After that, she queried in concern, “By the way, how is that elderly faring? I didn't have the chance to conduct another body check-up after the operation that day.”

Larry replied, “He got transferred to the general ward after the surgery the day after. All he needs now is to recuperate. It's all thanks to you.”

Not daring to take any credit, Roxanne merely smiled and changed the topic. “You're the one getting invited to this medical conference. Are you sure it will be fine if I tag along?”

Larry could be said to have achieved some accomplishments in the medical field. Coupled with his family background, those medical experts thought highly of him. Many people had even expressed their admiration for him publicly.

As for herself, she was a nobody whose name might be unheard of by those experts.

Roxanne was worried that her appearance would lower the standards of the conference.

Larry couldn't help but feel amused after realizing the meaning behind her words. “You had studied under Professor Lambert for so many years. Do you still see yourself as that same nobody in the past who just went overseas? Those experts might not have heard of your real name before, but they had long heard of your other alias—Janet.”

A flash of joy passed through Roxanne's eyes.

Following that, the woman rubbed her nose as she giggled.
