Everyone was shocked by how fast Roxanne had figured something out.
“Is there a problem?” she asked in confusion when she saw the surprised looks on their faces.
Still in shock, none of the experts said anything in response.
Thinking they were worried about Lucian, Roxanne reassured them with a smile, “All you guys have to do is follow my instructions. I'll explain things to Lucian if he finds out.”
Everyone gasped in shock when they heard that. “D-Does Mr. Farwell not know about this?”
They had assumed the tense atmosphere in the ward was due to Lucian finding out about the matter.
Given the seriousness of the situation, they were surprised to hear that Roxanne didn't tell Lucian about it.
Roxanne lowered her gaze and replied worriedly, “I think I might be able to save myself. He has been worried sick about me throughout the past few days, so I don't want to worry him any further. Please help me keep this a secret from him.”
She then flashed the experts a smile as she continued, “I have faith in you guys, so please have some faith in me as well. I'll figure something out.”
Moved by her confidence and determination, the experts gave in after a few seconds of hesitation.
“Since you trust us so much, we'll do everything we can to help you out, Mrs. Farwell.”
Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief and thanked them profusely, “Thank you all very much.”
As most of them were much older than her, she maintained a polite and respectful attitude when speaking to them.
The experts, however, felt she was being far too humble.
“No need to thank us, Mrs. Farwell. You are Dr. Lambert's greatest student, after all. To be honest, we thought the news article was exaggerating when it said you had great medical skills. It wasn't until we met you in person that we realized it wasn't exaggerating at all.”
Roxanne simply flashed them a polite smile in response. “We're all doctors here, so you guys can just call me 'Dr. Jarvis.”
