Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1718

Chapter 1718 Wary

The couple continued to hug each other lovingly.

The people on the other side of the screen were emotionally moved by that scene. None of them dared to make a peep.

Suddenly, Jonathan's phone rang.

In response, he stepped out of the laboratory and peered at the screen.

It was from Frieda.

He knew Frieda disliked Roxanne, and she only helped track Peregrine down because he asked her to.

Why is she calling me right now? Frowning, he hesitated for a few moments before answering the call.

“Are you at the hospital right now, Jonathan?” Frieda inquired the moment the call connected.

When Shawn didn't hear anything about or couldn't reach Peregrine for a few days after the latter reached Horington, he asked her to call Jonathan to ask about the situation.

When Jonathan heard her bringing up the hospital, he was rather confused. “What do you want to ask about?”

“How's Dr. Jarvis' situation right now? Has she woken up yet?” asked Frieda.

If she couldn't get an answer, she wouldn't be able to placate Shawn.

Jonathan was stumped for a moment.

Considering Roxanne is currently in her worst-case scenario, I doubt anything can worsen the situation. Besides, if I tell Frieda about what's going on, she may be able to meet that man again. Who knows, perhaps he'll have new ideas. When his train of thought ended there, he disclosed, “Old Mr. Lomax couldn't wake Dr. Jarvis up, so Lucian met with Jack to obtain the antidote. However, the antidote could only keep Dr. Jarvis alive for a little longer. It'll lose its effectiveness tonight, so Old Mr. Lomax is doing research to come up with the cure with us right now.”

“What?” exclaimed Frieda. “I can't believe Jack concocted a devious plan like that! How loathsome!”

Sighing, Jonathan agreed, “Who could've imagined the heir to the Damaris family is such a vile man?”

Then he thought of something and reminded, “If news about this matter spread, the Damaris family's reputation will go down the drain with Jack as precedent. You better realize what you should and shouldn't do!”
