Because of Benny's injury, Roxanne took a leave of absence for all three of her children and stayed at
home to take care of Benny for the time being.
Fortunately, the ointment she had developed was very effective, and when she applied it to Benny, his
wound healed up rather quickly.
In the past two days, Lucian would often come to visit the kids.
While Roxanne was busy taking care of Benny, she was also worrying about the projects at the
research institute.
In the end, she found out that, except for the project with the Damaris family, all the other projects were
progressing smoothly.
Due to the previous incident, the project with the Damaris family had to be handled by Roxanne and
Roxanne only. As such, the project was stalled the moment she left.
Since she was preoccupied with taking care of Benny, it took Roxanne a few days to realize that she
had forgotten to give Jack a heads-up on the situation.
Just when she was about to make a call to Jack to apologize, the man himself called her first.
Upon seeing the caller ID, Roxanne answered the call immediately. With an apologetic tone, she
greeted, “Mr. Damaris.”
In response, Jack's cold voice rang out. “It's been a long time, Ms. Jarvis. I wonder how your drug
research is going? Since we're partners, shouldn't you take the initiative to report this matter to me?”
His tone was filled with a sense of superiority as if he was commanding Roxanne to do her job.
His tone was filled with a sense of superiority as if he was commanding Roxanne to do her job.
Although she felt uncomfortable at being chided, Roxanne was aware that she was in the wrong. As
such, she decided to apologize. “I'm sorry, Mr. Damaris. I had some matters to take care of at home, so
the research was temporarily delayed.”
When Jack heard this, his expression darkened, and his tone became even more displeased. “The
same thing happened last time, and now, you're giving me a similar excuse again? How many times
are you going to delay the research progress because of your personal affairs, Ms. Jarvis?”
I bet the progress was delayed because she's out frolicking with Lucian again.
Frowning, Roxanne explained, “Benny's hand was injured, so I had to stay at home to look after him for
a few days. Because of this, I had neither the time nor the heart to concern myself with matters
happening at the research institute.”
Making up her mind, she added, “Of course, I'm well aware that I am the one at fault for delaying the
research progress. Mr. Damaris, if you're willing to put your trust in me, I'll do my best to catch up with
the progress when I get back. That being said, I have no complaints as well if you don't want to wait
any longer and wish to change a partner. I am also willing to compensate for the delay in accordance
with Damaris Group's requirements.”
Although the project with Damaris Group is important, it is nothing when compared to my son's well-
being.
Jack's anger gradually dissipated when he heard that the matter Roxanne had to deal with involved her
son. Subsequently, he started to panic when he realized she was proposing to cancel the cooperation.
Easing his tone, he said, “My apologies. I was reprimanding an employee earlier, and my temper got
the better of me. I hope you won't mind that my tone was a bit harsh.”
Roxanne was as serious as ever when she asked, “So what are your plans, Mr. Damaris? I'll give my
full cooperation.”
Jack replied, “Naturally, I'd like to keep cooperating with your research institute. After all, you are the
best traditional medicine practitioner that I approve of in Chanaea.”
After saying that, he complained, “Why didn't you tell me that Benny was hurt? If I had known about
this, I would have given you a few days off, and we wouldn't be having this awkward conversation.
Anyway, how is Benny faring? I'll pay him a visit next time.”
