Mission To Remarry
Chapter 365 All Thanks To You After they chatted a little longer, Roxanne called Jonathan on the phone.
It did not take long for him to answer her call. âDr. Jarvis, is something the matter?â
They had not contacted each other after Alfredâs birthday banquet, so Jonathan was a little puzzled that she had suddenly called him.
Roxanne played it cool and asked, âIs Old Mr. Queen at home? I was thinking of visiting to check on his condition and recovery progress.â
Jonathan agreed immediately. âThatâs so thoughtful of you. Heâs at home, so come on over.â
After confirming that Alfred was home, Roxanne hung up, picked up her medical kit, and headed for the Queen residence.
When she arrived at the gates to the Queen residence, the butler was already waiting there.
The butler greeted her respectfully when he saw her. âMs. Jarvis, Mr. Queen asked me to meet you here.
Heâs waiting for you in the living room.â
She nodded and followed the butler toward the mansion.
While walking, she pondered how to broach the subject with Jonathan later.
Based on Queen Groupâs relationship with Farwell Group, I donât believe the former would get threatened by the latter. However, the manager in charge of the medicinal herbs treated us like thatâ¦
Unless Sonya spoke to Jonathan about it personally, and he agreed. If thatâs the case, Iâm afraid whatever I say today will make any difference. Anyway, thatâs just my guess. Iâll have to see whatâs Jonathanâs attitude like later.
She continued mulling over the matter and only slowly recollected herself upon approaching the mansionâs front doors. By the time the doors opened, her expression was as calm and composed as usual.
Jonathan was sitting on the couch and doing some work. Knowing that Roxanne was coming to check on Alfred, he had deliberately rushed back from the office.
When he saw her walk in, he set aside the folder in his hands and rose to his feet to greet her. âDr.
Jarvis, itâs been a while.â
Roxanne merely smiled calmly. âWhereâs Old Mr. Queen?â
After motioning for the butler to serve the tea, Jonathan led her toward the back garden. âGrandpa knows youâre coming and is already waiting outside.â
Although Alfredâs body had recovered, he was very weak due to his age and the fact that he had been lying on the hospital bed for a long time. He spent most of his time resting and had designated slots for rehabilitation every day.
It happened to be time for Alfredâs rehabilitation. However, after learning that Roxanne was coming over, he asked the caregiver to leave him first. He sat alone in the back garden, enjoying the warm sunlight while awaiting her arrival.
As soon as Roxanne stepped through the doors, she spotted Alfred lounging in the sunlight. There was a cane next to his chair, and he looked contented.
Seeing that scene, she felt much more relieved.
Roxanne walked forward quietly. Then, softly and cautiously, she said close to Alfredâs ear, âOld Mr.
Queen.â
Having waited for some time, Alfred ended up dozing off subconsciously. He was still a little dazed when he heard Roxanneâs voice, and it took him a while to return to his senses. He smiled and nodded at her, saying, âDr. Jarvis, youâre here. Jonathan told me that you offered to check up on me. Thank you so much for still thinking about this old man here.â
She smiled at him somewhat sheepishly, set down her medical kit, and proceeded to check Alfredâs pulse.
After a thorough checkup, Roxanne straightened up and said, âHis condition has improved and stabilized. Judging from his physical fitness level, heâll only need to rest for a while before making a full recovery.â
Alfred beamed as he nodded. âIâve also felt my body gradually getting better. Itâs all thanks to you.â
