After discussing with Elektra for more than an hour, Roxanne decided to turn down many activities. She just wanted to stay behind the scenes and focus on research and development.
When Roxanne got home, Lucian leaned over and tried to probe how many sets of the second issue had been produced.
“My dear wife, can’t you give your husband some special treatment? I only need two hundred sets. Just two hundred sets! My friends are driving me crazy!”
Hearing his somewhat childlike tone, Roxanne felt pleased and nodded in agreement. Lucian never expected that one day he would have to plead for bottles and jars. However, his wife’s company was indeed expanding at an alarming rate.
The company had only been established for a month. Even though there was only minimal investment, its market value had already reached twenty billion. With the constant launch of new products, the company was almost certain to reach a hundred billion in market value in no time.
Moreover, with the research institute, hospital, and pharmaceutical companies, Roxanne’s combined net worth was bound to exceed hundred billion. She would be a billionaire.
However, Roxanne did not care about her wealth. After all, her original intention was simply to ensure that the researchers did not have to live in poverty. Anyone who was well-versed in science and technology ought to be fairly compensated. Noticing that his wife looked a little tired, Lucian immediately started massaging her shoulders.
Later in the evening, Elias and Sonya came back from picking up the children from kindergarten. Both of them were fully devoted to the three little ones. They accompanied them to the kindergarten and picked them up daily.
The family enjoyed dinner together. Shortly after, Jonathan arrived. At this stage, his main task was to compete with Shawn’s company. There was no need for Lucian to personally take action.
After their last confrontation, Shawn’s trade expansion plan had been interrupted, and he had been forced to withdraw from Epea in disappointment.
Hence, he turned his attention to competing with Farwell Group for investment shares in the emerging Alendorian market. After giving Lucian a brief update, Jonathan was invited to join dinner.
Halfway through the meal, Jonathan suddenly stood up and slapped his head. “I almost forgot. I have to pick up Mdm. Xander from the hospital. Everyone, I won’t be staying for dinner anymore. I shall take my leave!”
Roxanne glanced at Lucian before standing up. “Can you believe that my best friend kept me in the dark? Did he say that Mdm. Xander can finally be discharged from the hospital? Lucian, let’s go pick her up together.”
Lucian nodded in agreement. Both of them then followed Jonathan to the hospital. Indeed, Madilyn had kept the matter from everyone. She knew that her best friend had been busy with her new company recently. It was sufficient to have Jonathan’s help..
During this time, she was somewhat surprised that Jonathan was very concerned about her mother’s illness. He had been looking for various supplements and medicinal foods to help her recover. And almost every two days, he would come to the hospital and spend time chatting with her mother.
Madilyn felt an indescribable sense of dependence in her heart. She knew this was not a good thing. After all, Jonathan might treat all his important friends the same way.
The woman was aware that Jonathan had been in frequent contact with Coralie lately. They frequently went out for meals together. Madilyn tried her best to avoid overthinking the complicated situation.
When Madilyn saw Roxanne and Lucian had also arrived, she happily ran up and hugged her best friend. Roxanne noticed that her friend had lost weight. and must be tired out from taking care of Lorraine.
Thankfully, Lorraine displayed encouraging signs of recuperation, and her previously gaunt appearance had also vanished. The weight that Madilyn lost had transferred to her mother.
“Congratulations on your discharge, Mdm. Xander. You should live in Horington from now on. The weather here is nice, and Madilyn can take care of you. I’m sure she will be more at ease!” Roxanne smiled and suggested to Lorraine.
Lorraine could not stop smiling and kept thanking Roxanne and Lucian. She nodded and agreed to settle down in Horington.
