Chapter 1398
Just as Roxanne ended the call, someone knocked on her door.
When she opened it, she saw Lucian standing outside.
His eyebrows remained furrowed as though he didn't expect her to open the door that quickly.
“What's the matter?” Roxanne was puzzled. “Have you taken care of your matters? It's about time for you to leave, right?”
Slowly, his eyebrows relaxed. “Almost. I was wondering if you want me to drive you to the nursing home.”
In reality, he just wanted to ensure she didn't speak with Jack for too long.
Upon recalling Jack's words, Roxanne said, “Thanks, but I don't need to visit the nursing home today. The elderly with serious illnesses had received their examinations yesterday, so all that's left today are the healthy ones.”
“Then we should return home soon,” suggested Lucian. The children are still waiting at home, and Horington's branch requires my assistance. Most importantly, if we keep staying here, it'll be hard for me to prevent her from interacting with Jack if he shows up.
Initially, she wanted to agree to that, but she was concerned there would be accidents at the nursing home, so she thought about it and refused. “You can return first if you're in a hurry. I think I'll go back a little later.”
As he knitted his eyebrow, he gazed at her scrutinizingly.

Knowing he had misunderstood something, Roxanne explained resignedly, “I'm worried that I missed someone with a serious condition yesterday. If the doctors there spot any today, I'll be able to head over there in time to treat them. So, I want to stay in Jadeborough for half a day.”
