Lucian offered, “Let's share a meal, Elektra. If you hadn't paid attention to Mr. Valentine, I wouldn't have known he was in this state. If we didn't meet him in time, he might've been beyond saving.”
However, Elektra declined.
Hence, he left the school with Roxanne.
On their way back, Roxanne received a call from Madilyn notifying her that Nicholas was in the process of being transferred to the hospital.
“You're doing a pretty good job as a hospital director,” Roxanne teased.
That spurred Madilyn to grumble, “Can you stop hitting me when I'm down? I thought being a director just meant having meetings with everyone constantly. It turns out a director has a lot more responsibilities than I thought! My gosh, do you know what time I can only get off work now? Also, initially, I was looking forward to the mansion you gifted me. However, I'm so busy now that I don't even know if my water and electricity have been cut off or not.”
In response, Roxanne comforted her friend by mentioning the high salary and the opportunity to meet more outstanding doctors.
To her surprise, Madilyn asked, “What about Jonathan? What has he been doing lately? He seems busy. Do you think he's going to wear himself out? Should I arrange a check-up for him at the hospital?”
Roxanne was stunned for a moment before understanding what was happening. Even though Jonathan's a blockhead, Madilyn's still enamored with him.
