Hector was taken aback and averted his gaze when he spotted Roxanne.
Noticing his demeanor, Roxanne approached him proactively, took over the IV stand from Allen, and observed that the IV drip was almost finished.
“You are?” Allen was caught off guard by her action.
“I'm a friend of the Damaris family. You can leave Old Mr. Damaris to me,” Roxanne replied as she bobbed her head in assurance.
Allen nodded in response as there was nothing he could do for Hector anymore. He loosened his grip and reminded Hector to take good care of himself. With that, he turned and went back to the law firm.
Meanwhile, Hector was engulfed with guilt and couldn't bear to face Roxanne.
“Ms. Jarvis, Jack has wronged you. It almost took your life, and you have suffered greatly from it. He deserves to be punished. I'm sorry that there is nothing much I can do to compensate you!”
He spoke in a choked voice, the sincerity in his apology clear.
Seeing how dispirited and helpless Hector looked, Roxanne couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.
She stepped forward and supported him. Then, she shook her head and said, “I won't forgive Jack for what he did, but this has nothing to do with you, Old Mr. Damaris. I came today because I know you had a relapse. I'm afraid you'll have a staggering hospital bill, so I prepared some medicine for you. I hope you'll accept this, Old Mr. Damaris.”
Surprised by her kindness, Hector was rendered speechless.
He lifted his gaze, stunned, as his hands trembled involuntarily.

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 😊...
Very best book out there, full of surprises and true love. Recommend to all....
