It seemed that Roxanne felt uncomfortable because of his tight hold, so she whined and struggled a bit.
Sensing her movements, Lucian loosened his grip and patted her on the shoulder to calm her down.
When Jack saw the intimate interaction between the couple, his displeasure grew.

We cured the elders, so their family members enthusiastically insisted on thanking us. | was planning to drive Ms. Jarvis home since she's drunk.” It sounded like Jack was simply explaining, but anyone smart enough could decipher the meaning hidden behind his words.
Jack was basically declaring that Roxanne and he were from the same world. They cured the elders together and accepted the families’ gratitude together, and all these had nothing to do with Lucian.
Naturally, Lucian knew what Jack was trying to imply. The former's face turned stern as he said, "Thanks for your reminder, Mr.

Afterward, Lucian added, "It's getting late. I'll take Roxanne back to the hotel so she can rest. There are a lot of things in my car, and | don't want to let you feel uncomfortable in a cramped space.

And now, you're declaring your dominance over Ms. Jarvis. How ridiculous!” The implication of his sarcastic words was clear—Jack was set on snatching Roxanne from Lucian.

Lucian's eyes softened as he looked at Roxanne's sleeping face. He then bent down and carried her.
In her sleep, Roxanne could smell a scent that made her feel safe. She leaned into Lucian and put her hand over his chest, grabbing his shirt.
Even when his designer shirt was wrinkled by Roxanne's action, Lucian only smiled dotingly and walked downstairs.
Under the influence of alcohol, Jack was even more incensed to see the two leave together. His eyes turned red with rage, and his hands balled into tight fists.
So what if they have a child? After spending the day with Roxanne and discovering her impressive comprehension of medical knowledge, Jack was determined to win Roxanne over.
She was the only one qualified to do research in medicine with him and build their own empire in the medical field.
