Chapter 1401
“When did you buy it?” questioned Roxanne with a slightly tense tone and trembling eyshes. We
didn''t leave each other when we were in the mall, and I didn''t see him buy a gift.
“When did you buy it?” questioned Roxanne with a slightly tense tone and trembling eyshes. We
didn''t leave each other when we were in the mall, and I didn''t see him buy a gift.
Lucian knitted his eyebrow and answered in a resigned tone, “When I brought my bags here earlier. I
didn''t expect you to get lost when I was dyed for a few minutes.”
His lips curled into a wry smile when he recalled the rare dazed look on her face from earlier.
When he brought that up, she blushed and reflexively avoided his stare, inadvertently shifting her line
of sight to the box on the seat.
Lucian coaxed, “Get in the car. It''s gettingte. If we don''t set off now, it''ll be night by the time we return
home.”
Nodding hesitantly, Roxanne stepped into the seat.
He entered the driver''s seat and drove off.
Meanwhile, she put the white box on her knees instead of opening them.
He didn''t urge her either.
After they left the parking lot, he asked, “Do you want to visit the nursing home first, or should we head
straight back home?”
I know she''s worried about the residents there, and we''ll be heading in its direction anyway.
His question came as a surprise for Roxanne. She pondered for a moment and answered, “The nursing
home first.”
“Okay.” Lucian then drove toward the destination.
Seeing how familiar he was with the path to the nursing home, she wondered, I don''t remember telling
him the address, yet he seems to know where to go... No, I shouldn''t overthink it.
After the car was parked in front of the nursing home, Roxanne stepped into the building. She saw the
doctors were still busying about, but she could tell from their expressions that the rest of the residents
were in good condition.
Still, she approached a few doctors and asked them about the situation. It wasn''t until she had
confirmation the residents were doing fine that she rxed.
Before she left, she came across a few of the residents she examined yesterday.
They were worried when they saw Jack wasn''t with her. “Why didn''t you visit with Dr. Damaris today,
Dr. Jarvis? Did you two have a fight?”
Roxanne was bidding the other residents goodbye with a smile when she heard that. Her grin froze
before she turned around and exined resignedly to the old woman speaking to her. “You have
misunderstood our rtionship, granny. Dr. Damaris and I are just colleagues...”
Just as she ended her sentence, she felt the person behind her stepping closer to her.
She didn''t mind since it wasn''t the first time they stood so intimately with each other.
Momentster, she saw the realization in the residents'' eyes.
“Ah, it does seem like we''ve misunderstood your rtionship with Dr. Damaris, Dr. Jarvis. This is your
boyfriend, right?” The old woman swiftly corrected herself and inspected Lucian briefly. “Hmm, he''s tall
and handsome. I think he''s a good fit for you, Dr. Jarvis.”
Roxanne opened her mouth, intending to offer some rification.
However, when she thought about the things that happened between her and Lucian, she didn''t have it
in her to deny that statement.
The edges of Lucian''s mouth curved upward. He behaved gentlemanly with no intention of denying it,
too.
The old woman stared at Roxanne caringly. “Is he a doctor too?”
“He''s not,” Roxanne replied rigidly.
In response, the old woman shook her head and remarked sincerely, “Then he''s a littlecking
same profession...”
