Having her good mood ruined by the disgusting man, Madilyn decided to stop playing and wash up instead to get ready for bed. She had several important surgeries to perform the following day, after all.
Although she was not the chief surgeon of those surgeries, she had to supervise all important surgeries. As she lay on the bed, the thought of Jonathan floated across her mind.
Recently, Madilyn had been mulling over how Jonathan had not been giving her any response. He did not even say anything to her after Coralie’s incident. He’s probably not interested in me. Whatever. Maybe we weren’t suitable for each other from the start.
Roxanne received a call from Madilyn early the next morning, and over the phone, the latter complained about how she had to head to the emergency department to treat the severely burned victims of a fire in a nearby residential area.
“Do you need me to help?” Roxanne offered. As a doctor herself, she felt obliged to help out.”No, no, I’m fine. The patients have all received the appropriate treatments, so don’t worry. You should prioritize resting at home during your pregnancy. I’m just complaining, that’s all.”
Madilyn said, chuckling.
“Okay, take care of yourself and remember to stay hydrated. If you’re really too busy, get a glucose drink. It’s our hospital, so you don’t need to worry about the costs,” Roxanne reminded her. Glucose was a good immediate option for people who were overworked.
The two of them continued chatting for a little longer before ending the call. When Roxanne went downstairs, she found Sonya making soup again. She wondered what herbs Sonya sed, for the soup’s fragrance was strong.
Ever since Lucian found out that his wife was pregnant, he had been staying home in the mornings instead of heading to the office. He panicked upon seeing Roxanne walk down the stairs. “Stop right there! I’ll come and help you down!” he yelled.
Roxanne was taken aback and waved her hands dismissively. “You don’t have to! Don’t you think you’re being a little too dramatic?”
“Not at all! No matter how careful I am, I’ll never be careful enough.” Lucian darted to Roxanne’s side before reaching out to grab her elbow. Roxanne was at a loss for words. I don’t even look pregnant yet, though I’ve gained a little fat on my stomach recently.
“How about this? Let’s swap rooms with Dad and Mom. We’ll stay on the first floor while they take our room on the second floor.”
Right as Lucian helped Roxanne down the stairs, Elias came out of his room with his newspaper. The family then began discussing whether or not Roxanne should use the stairs while she was pregnant.
Lucian’s parents were fine with the idea. They told the younger couple that they were fine walking up and down the stairs and that it would be good exercise for them as well.
A conclusion was swiftly drawn, and Lucian immediately ordered the housekeepers to swap the furniture in the first and second floors rooms.
Not long after Roxanne finished her breakfast, the soup Sonya brewed was ready. Hence, Roxanne had no choice but to consume yet another portion of nourishment. At this rate, she was going to lose her slim figure.
After eating, Lucian brought her out to stroll in the yard. The way everyone treated her made her feel as if she was a queen, constantly served by others. An hour later, Roxanne received another call from Madilyn.
She sounded anxious. “Roxanne, something happened! There’s a patient in the hospital whose respiratory system and organs are failing. The doctors are at a loss, and I can’t come up with anything, either. Can you come over and see what you can do?”
“Of course. I’ll be there right away!” Roxanne instantly answered without an ounce of hesitation. When she told Lucian what was going on, he nodded in agreement with her decision and quickly drove her to the hospital.
