Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1388

Chapter 1388

Just then, a pot-bellied middle-aged man walked up to the duo. “Who's this with you, Mr. Damaris?”

Upon hearing that, Jack stood up to greet the man and make the introductions. “This is Dr. Roxanne Jarvis. Roxanne, meet Terence Canfield, the new person in charge of this nursing home.”

Roxanne smiled and greeted Terence cordially.

“So this is the renowned Dr. Jarvis?” Terence exclaimed while sizing the woman up. “People have raved about your beauty and talent, but I never thought you'd be this drop-dead gorgeous! To top it all off, you have a heart of gold too! The old folks have nothing but praise and admiration for you!”

“I'm nowhere as kind as you, Mr. Canfield,” Roxanne said smilingly. “If you hadn't taken over the nursing home, who knows what'd happen to these old folks?”

In response, Terence chuckled politely. “Oh, it's nothing to write home about. By the way, it's getting late. Do you guys have any plans for the evening? If you don't, why not stay and have dinner together? It'd be a good opportunity for me to thank you on behalf of our residents.”

Roxanne frowned and was about to turn Terence down when Jack's voice rang out.

“Sounds good! Besides, I wanted to ask you about the old folks' follow-up treatments,” he remarked before turning to Roxanne for her opinion. “I'm not sure if Ms. Jarvis has any plans for the night, though. If she does, I'd need to trouble you to make arrangements for transportation to send her back, Mr. Canfield.”

Naturally, Roxanne didn't want to trouble Terence, and since she was also concerned about the follow-up care, she decided to go along with the men.

“Let's have dinner together, then. I'd love to learn more about the old folks' follow-up treatments too.”

With that, Terence led them to a restaurant near the nursing home.
