Roxanne cast a glance at Jack, hoping that he would help her out.
However, Jack only smiled before turning away and changing the topic. “No matter what kind of relationship we have, it won’t affect our ability to treat you. Next, please.”
He did not deny the elderly people’s assumption of their relationship, and so the elderly people became even more confident about their guesses as they looked at Roxanne and Jack lovingly.
Upon realizing that she could not change their minds, Roxanne decided to drop the topic.
Nevertheless, she later made sure not to do anything to let others misunderstand the nature of her relationship with Jack.
Roxanne ended up consulting dozens of elderly people, but their health issues were all common and not too severe.
As she was fully prepared to find their conditions had worsened, she was glad to see that they seemed better than she had thought they would be.
Thank God they’re not doing as terribly as I presumed.
Still, there were elderly people who were in worse conditions.
When she was consulting an elderly man with rheumatic heart disease, Roxanne visibly slowed down.
He’s so old, and he has no children. If he gets a heart attack…
She could not imagine how hard it would be for the elderly man.
Noticing her strange behavior, Jack walked over and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Roxanne gave the elderly man a pacifying smile before whispering to Jack, “He has rheumatic heart disease. I’m afraid acupuncture won’t be able to treat him. Why don’t we send him to the hospital instead?”
Even someone like Harvey admired the acupuncture technique. Every once in a while, he would sing praises of it to Roxanne, and that made Roxanne keen to find out what it was like.
However, when she told him she wanted to learn the technique, Harvey revealed to her that it was a unique technique owned by the Damaris family.
Back then, Roxanne had still been overseas. She only knew that the Damaris family was an elusive family, and when she saw the secretive way her professor acted at the mention of the technique, she started wondering if it was something he had made up to trick her.
She had never thought that the heir to the Damaris family would one day be the one to demonstrate the technique to her.
As Roxanne had nothing but admiration for Root Thirteen all these years, she could not help but place her entire focus on Jack’s performance.
Jack noticed it naturally, and an indiscernible smile grew on his lips.
I knew it. She’s as obsessed with medical skills as I thought she was. I might not be able as good in anything else as Lucian, and I might not have known her for as long as he did, but I’m the only one who can help her improve her medical skills!

GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
Wish there was more to the story, like how the triplets end up and if the twins are as smart as their older siblings. Beautiful story 😊...
