Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385

A beat later, Jonathan took in a deep breath and steeled himself before asking, “So, how are things between the two of you? If you‘re not planning to get involved with her anymore, I’ll think of her as just a normal doctor the next time she gives my grandpa a checkup, and I won’t be as courteous anymore.”

Seconds later, Lucian uttered, “Just treat her the same as you always do.”

She‘s going to be overseas soon, anyway; she‘s not going to have many chances to give Old Mr. Queen checkups anymore.

Hearing that, Jonathan let out a relieved sigh quietly because his words meant that Lucian was still interested in Roxanne.

After learning that, Jonathan began trying to steer the topic toward what troubles Roxanne had been encountering the past few days.

“Ahem. Also, when Dr. Jarvis came to give my grandpa a checkup yesterday, she mentioned their research institute has encountered some troubles again,” Jonathan started, trying to keep the change in the topic as smooth as possible.

Just as those words were out of his mouth, Lucian turned to look at him. “What happened?”

Jonathan explained, “Dr. Jarvis came to treat my grandpa because all the herb suppliers in Horington refused to work with their research institute. That‘s why she came to the Queen family to get a contract that would be announced to the public about us selling herbs to their research institute at half price. After that, she succeeded in treating my grandpa, so I signed the contract with her as promised. With Queen Group as the pioneer, most of the herb suppliers began collaborating with the research institute again. However, for the past few days…”

Jonathan trailed off and glanced at his friend‘s expression. It was then he saw the frown on Lucian‘s face.

A pause later, Jonathan continued, “The same thing happened again. All the herb suppliers in Horington have received a notice that warned them against working with Dr. Jarvis‘ research institute. So, the only business partner that Dr. Jarvis has left is Queen Group.”
