“Got it. I'll be more careful around her,” Roxanne concurred with a smile, knowing that her best friend was merely warning her for her own good.
Only then was Madilyn satisfied. In no time, the two of them chatted about other things, the atmosphere very much relaxed.
Meanwhile, Jonathan had just finished handling Jack's matter and returned to the Queen family from the police station.
The instant he stepped in the door, he was greeted by the sight of his sister sitting on the couch, watching television distractedly and glancing in the direction of the door every so often.
As soon as Frieda spotted him, her expression changed, and she greeted him enthusiastically.
“I've seen the news and learned that Jack has been arrested, Jonathan. So, Roxanne has probably regained consciousness as well, right?”
In response, Jonathan bobbed his head. “Yeah. She regained consciousness last night. We'd been busy with Jack's matter, so we hadn't the time to tell you about it.”
It was thanks to his sister engaging Peregrine's services that Roxanne could wake up from her coma this time.
Thus, it was only right for him to notify her about the matter.
He initially thought that Frieda would be chagrined, but unexpectedly, he did not glimpse a hint of disgruntlement on her face.
Just as he was wondering about it, his sister's meaningful voice drifted into the air.
“Old Mr. Lomax must have played a pivotal role in the matter, huh? Did Lucian not say anything about it?”
In other words, she was claiming credit from him.
Jonathan's brows creased imperceptibly, and he felt a touch irked.
