Old Master Lancer looked away guiltily when he saw Rosalie.
Rosalie took the initiative to approach upon seeing his reaction. She took over the drip stand from the lawyer and looked at the drip medication that was about to finish.
Mr. Caleb was slightly surprised. “You are...?”
“I’m a friend of the Lancer family. I’ll take care of Old Master Lancer,” Rosalie responded as she greeted Mr. Caleb.
Mr. Caleb nodded in response. After all, there was nothing much he could do to help. Thus, he let go of Old Master Lancer and returned to his office.
Old Master Lancer still looked guilty and could not face Rosalie.
“Miss Jacobs, Xander did something terrible to you and almost killed you. novelebook.comHe made you suffer so much. He deserves it for what he has done to you. There's nothing I can do to compensate for what he has done. I’m sorry!”
He apologized sincerely with a choking voice.
Rosalie saw the old master in such a helpless state. He looked older than before, and it made her feel sorry for him.
She held Old Master Lancer’s arm and shook her head. “I won't forgive Xander for his mistake, but it has nothing to do with you, Old Master Lancer. I came here today because I found out that your illness struck you. I prescribed some medicine for you, and I hope you'll take it.”
Old Master Lancer was at a loss for words.
After Rosalie stuffed the bank card into Old Master Lancer’s hand, he quickly let go of it and shook his head.
“No, no, no. I can’t take any money. The medicine is good enough for me. I’m ashamed of what my grandson has done!”
Rosalie sighed. She had guessed Old Master Lancer would not accept it. Thus, she continued persuading, “Old Master Lancer, no matter what, you're a senior. My mentor has told me a lot about you and even told me to take care of you. Don't think too much about this sum of money. I'm just acting on my mentor's words. Please take it. Think of it as a gift given by a fellow doctor of the medical field.”
Those words moved Old Master Lancer, and he finally accepted the bank card.
Rosalie smiled, feeling relieved.
