Chapter 1269
From Roxanne’s expression, Colby understood everything. He chuckled bitterly in a self-deprecating
manner. Roxanne lifted her eyes to him. “And so, you came up with this idea?”Even then, she wasn’t
willing to believe that the gentle and elegant man who had helped her tremendously would do such a
thing.Alas, her skepticism when things had come to that merely made Colby feel all the more insulted.
“If I hadn’t done all this, would you have noticed me? Do you know how much I’ve given up all these
years just to have you see me? Do you think I’m really only capable of being your second, considering
my capabilities?”Every single word out of his mouth hit Roxanne squarely in the chest.Only then did
she realize how much she had overlooked all these years.I’m already the top traditional medicine
practitioner in Chanaea, and he’s about on par with me. In fact, Professor Lambert even praised him
once. He has the capability of branching out and handling things on his own. Yet, he has always been
my partner. I always thought that Professor Lambert specifically arranged for us to be together because
he trusted us. Never had I imagined such a reason behind it all.“Do you think this incident is the only
thing I did?” Colby’s voice rang out once more.Shocked, Roxanne swung her gaze to him.Meeting her
gaze in derision, Colby suddenly burst into laughter. “Haha! It turns out that you don’t even know what
I’ve done! You only investigated the incident this time because Lucian told you about his suspicions,
huh? Sure enough, you never notice me, no matter what I do!”“No, that’s not it! I just… I just trusted
you too much,” Roxanne explained on reflex. No sooner had she said that than Colby interjected coldly,
“I’d rather you don’t trust me so much! I don’t want you to look at me with the same expression all the
time. You smile at them and cry because of them, but when it comes to me, you’re forever acting
professionally. Am I not even worthy of being your friend? Do you look down on me that much,
Roxanne?”A frown marred Roxanne’s countenance. For a moment, she didn’t quite know how to
respond to his accusations.Some time passed before she awkwardly asked, “Other than this, what else
did you do?”By then, Colby had already put away all expression from his face.At that question, his lips
turned up. “I’m not going to tell you that. Anyway, I’m going to leave this place soon. You’ve never seen
me all these years, so this time, I’ve got to leave you thinking about me. Go and investigate
yourself!”Roxanne balled her fists, her expression as grim as ever. “Don’t do this, Dr. Galloway
—”Before she had finished speaking, Colby cut her off sharply. “Don’t call me Dr. Galloway! I almost
killed you! Aren’t you the least bit angry? Why must you still address me so formally?”Frowning,
Roxanne went silent for a long time before murmuring, “Why must you do this, Colby? You could’ve just
talked to me directly. Why did you have to use such a method?”When Colby heard that she had finally
changed her address toward him, his expression eased for a second. Yet in the next heartbeat, he had
steeled himself again.Thereafter, he no longer responded no matter what Roxanne said.“Colby
Galloway, you should never have made a move against her!”Seeing that Roxanne had ceased
speaking, Lucian stalked over to Colby.Before Colby even knew what was happening, a hard punch
had landed on his stomach.“I’m only giving you one punch because you’ve taken care of Roxanne for
such a long time. If you dare do anything dumb again when you get out, I don’t mind sending you to
meet your maker!”Lucian’s voice was frightfully chilly.
