Not many doctors were here at the event this time, but there were still slightly above a dozen. With one glance, Roxanne could recognize a few of them who had also attended the previous medical consultation with her.
She hadn’t met the others yet, but given that the Damaris family acknowledged them enough to work with them, they were certainly not to be trifled with.
Thus, Roxanne smiled at the group politely to express her goodwill. “Who are these two, Mr. Damaris?”
someone suddenly asked, standing up..
“Will they also be working with us this time?”
There was a hint of doubt in that person’s voice. Although Roxanne had long grown accustomed to such skepticism, she still couldn’t help but tense up immediately upon hearing that.
They were now on Jack’s turf, and she was worried about her credentials causing him unnecessary trouble. What if people lose their trust in the Damaris family because of us?
At the thought of this, the woman’s expression became increasingly meek.
Yet, Jack turned to the person posing the question and said, “This is Dr. Jarvis, and this is Dr. Morrison. They’ll be working with us too, so I hope you can all get along with each other.”
Hearing that, the crowd gasped and stared at both Roxanne and Larry dubiously, especially with regard to the woman. Noticing those looks of uncertainty, Jack turned to Roxanne and Larry, using his eyes to ask if he needed to explain on their behalf.
The two merely smiled and shook their heads.
Given that the other doctors were more senior, it was only normal for them to question those who were less experienced or well-known. A few words certainly weren’t going to change their opinions.
With that, Jack simply explained to the two, “These are the doctors who were involved in the last medical consultation with the Damaris family. Some of them took part in consultations in other regions, so you may not have met them yet.”
Roxanne and Larry nodded.
“Well, now that everyone’s here, let’s all have a seat and begin our discussion,” Jack announced, turning to the other doctors.
The group readily agreed. Despite his young age, Jack sat at the head of the table, whereas the other doctors were to be seated next to him in the order of their qualifications.
Roxanne and Larry walked to the seats across from Jack.
“Dr. Jarvis and Dr. Morrison, you guys sit over here,” Jack suddenly called out to them when they were just about to take their seats.
The crowd was instantly taken aback. Roxanne was about to turn Jack down, only to see the doctor next to him having already given up his own seat for her.
Upon taking a closer look, she realized it was Daniel Hopp, a doctor who had taken part in the previous medical consultation with her and Larry.
Perhaps the other doctors weren’t aware, but Daniel now knew how well-versed the two were in the field of medicine, and so he accepted that they were indeed worthy of sitting next to Jack.
The remaining group members were visibly perplexed, but seeing a doctor of such a high caliber as Daniel give up his seat, they could only make room for the two young practitioners..
Roxanne and Larry exchanged glances. Realizing that they would only look ungrateful by rejecting Jack’s offer, they walked toward him and sat to his left and right respectively under everyone’s gazes.
“I’ve looked into the acupuncture treatment you performed during the previous consultation, but there are some things about it that I still don’t understand. Would you be so kind as to spare me some time to talk about it after this banquet?”
Daniel spoke softly, but everyone at the table could hear him.
They were struck with awe when they heard him ask Roxanne for guidance.
