NovelStartChapter 637 “Mr. Damaris surely isn’t the only one who wanted her to join them. Roxanne had Old Mr. Damaris’ approval too,” uttered Larry, who had been paying attention to their interaction, when he saw that Roxanne was stumped.
At that, Jessica knitted her brows and turned to the side to look at him.
She had already noticed the young man a while ago. He was outstanding, but she was not interested in him. Yet, to her surprise, the man had actually forced himself into her line of sight and even defended Roxanne.
“You're...” Jessica started, frowning. Larry introduced himself politely, “I'm Larry Morrison. I'm just an ordinary doctor, so you don't need to remember me.” Shock flitted past Jessica's eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLarry was the son of the Morrison family, and everyone within the circle would have heard about him. They knew that he was uninterested in his family’s fortune and had established a place for himself in the medical world. It was rare to spot Larry in banquets in Horington over the years.
Therefore, it was Jessica's first time seeing him in person. She could not help but think that he lived up to his name. Even though he was the son of the Morrison family, he seemed calm and collected and not at all aggressive.
Perhaps his many years of practicing medicine were what made him learn to keep his aggression away from his exterior.
When Jessica came back to her senses, she promptly smiled and greeted Larry in return, “So you're Mr. Morrison. I've heard of you since a long time ago.” Larry nodded. “If there's nothing else, Ms. Hightower, I'd like to have a chat with Dr. Jarvis.” Before Jessica could respond to that, Larry had already turned to Roxanne. “Are you free, Dr. Jarvis? There are some things about medical practices that I'd like to discuss with you.” Even Roxanne could not help but freeze for a moment.
Although she knew that Larry was doing that to help her get out of her tough spot, it was the first time she had ever heard Larry speak to her in such a distant tone.
Still, Roxanne managed to recollect herself quickly and smiled at Larry. “Okay.” She then cast Jessica an apologetic look.
“Excuse me, Ms. Hightower.” Jessica could only give Roxanne a small smile before watching Roxanne walk over to sit down beside Larry.
The moment Roxanne sat down, she breathed out a heavy sigh and gave Larry a grateful smile. In a soft voice, she said, “Thank you, Larry.” Larry sighed as well. “Be careful in a while. Ms. Hightower seems to have misunderstood something.” Roxanne nodded in agreement.
She did not know what she had done to make Jessica develop those unnecessary misunderstandings, but Jessica already had those misunderstandings, and it was not something Roxanne could clarify swiftly in a few words.
All she could do was tell Jack about it later so that the man could explain it to Jessica himself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen the other medical professionals saw Roxanne and Larry sitting together, they quickly crowd over to discuss questions about medical practices.
Both Larry and Roxanne were well established in the medical world, and both had come back from overseas. Although the two of them to keep at low profile in their discussion, the things they said still piqued most people’s interest.
At the same time, the other doctors were willingly imparting their own experiences to the two. The people became closer after a discussion.
The doctors found themselves admiring Roxanne more and more. Furthermore, they, too, began approving of what Daniel had said at the beginning-that the future of the medical field in Chanaea was promising.
Jessica's wariness toward Roxanne grew intense as she listened to the people sing Roxanne’s praises.
