Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1453

Roxanne was moved by his words but remained hesitant. “Perhaps, but I lack enough knowledge of cancer to support the research on an anti-cancer medicine.”

Over the past few years, she had been more focused on researching how to treat patients through acupuncture. She simply didn't know enough about medicinal herbs to be confident in developing an anti-cancer medicine.

Sensing her worries, Jack said, “I won't lie. Only a few medical books kept in the Damaris residence touch on this research. However, the reason the research in those books was halted was due to technical issues at the time. It was also these books that inspired me.”

Roxanne's eyes glinted upon hearing that. If I can take a look at those books, perhaps I'll get some inspiration, too. Then again, those books are properties of the Damaris family. I don't know if he's willing to lend them to an outsider.

“The books about traditional medicine I lent you in the past were a part of that collection. If you're interested, I can lend you the whole set.”

Without hesitation, she nodded. However, she thought about something and inquired, “Is it really okay for me to read them? Don't those books contain content the Damaris family wants to keep confidential?”

Medical prestigious families tended to have a few techniques they wouldn't share with anyone.

It was why Roxanne was overjoyed when Jack taught her Root Thirteen and why she was skeptical about his proposal to lend her those books.

He grinned. “I can't hide anything from you, can I? Indeed, there's a condition you need to fulfill if you want to read those books.”
