Jonathan could tell that something was wrong with his sister's emotions.
He pondered for a long while before saying, “Tell me when you decide to visit Dr. Jarvis. I'll accompany you.”
Having taken the hint, Frieda felt much more confident, and her expression became brighter.
Jonathan had a stern look on his face as he continued sternly, “If you've offended her previously, seize the chance to give her a proper apology. Dr. Jarvis isn't petty, so she'll forgive you if you admit to your mistakes, not to mention I'll be present as well.”
She nodded obediently in response, but inwardly, her mind was racing with various thoughts.
While Jonathan made it sound like a simple task, I'm not convinced that Roxanne will be so forgiving. If she discovers that I indirectly harmed her children by supplying the bacterium to Aubree, I'm not sure if she will still be willing to forgive me. Perhaps I should gauge her reaction gradually before confessing to the crime.
“All right. You should go upstairs and get some rest. Let me know when you've made up your mind, and I'll inform Dr. Jarvis,” Jonathan voiced.
Afterward, he sighed and dismissed Frieda with a wave.
He thought that his efforts were in vain again, but to his surprise, she volunteered, “Jonathan, I was wrong. Please ask Dr. Jarvis when she is free so that I can apologize to her at the earliest opportunity.”
A hint of astonishment flashed across Jonathan's eyes. Why did she change her mind today?
Frieda touched her nose and added, “I was too set in my ways previously. As you've said, Dr. Jarvis will get married to Lucian one day. If I'm on bad terms with her, it won't bode well for our family's future.”
At the end of her utterances, she flashed a charming smile at her brother. “Would it be possible for me to rejoin Queen Group once Dr. Jarvis and I have reconciled?” she inquired.
Jonathan scrutinized her for several seconds but did not notice anything odd in her expression.
Thus, he agreed right away. “After you apologize to Dr. Jarvis, and she agrees to forgive you, you can return to the company. Remember not to do anything foolish in the future.”
