Chapter 158 Roxanne kept silent after she greeted them. Since Alfred didn’t give her a chance to
leave, she had no choice but to stay and listen to their conversation.Sonya retracted her gaze from
Roxanne and looked at Alfred carnestly. “What a blessing it is for the Queen family now that you’re
fine!”Alfred smiled and nodded before turning toward Roxanne. “It’s all thanks to Dr. Jarvis. Without her,
I would still be bedridden!”As soon as those words fell, everyone turned to look at Roxanne. Soon
aHenrietta chimed in, “Indeed, Dr. Jarvis is the Queen family’s savior.”With those few words, she had
directed Sonya and the others’ attention toward Roxanne.Roxanne furrowed her brows slightly and
smiled. “I wouldn’t call myself a savior, though. As a doctor, I was just doing my job. I’m very glad to
have cured Old Mr. Queen.”Alfred’s admiration toward her grew when he saw how humble she
was.Sonya’s face fell when she noticed Alfred’s attitude toward Roxanne. However, she maintained her
smile and said sarcastically, “Not too shabby for a young doctor like her. We’ve looked for so many
renowned doctors, and none of them succeeded. How surprising.”Although it seemed like Sonya was
praising her, Roxanne could sense the hostility in those words.Roxanne’s heart sank, and she ignored
Sonya.Aubree wasn’t pleased with how everyone was putting the spotlight on Roxanne. As soon as
silence ensued, she let go of Sonya’s arm and went up to Alfred. In a coquettish tone, she said, “Old.
Mr. Queen, you’re going to live a long and stress-free life now that you’ve survived the illness!”Alfred
shifted his attention toward her and smiled when he heard that. “Why do you say so?” “Well, that’s what
people say! I know you’re going to live a long life with great prosperity, Old Mr. Queen!” Aubree
smiled. Alfred was elated when he heard those sweet words. “Thank you! Let’s hope you’re
right!”aswasWith that, he shifted his gaze back toward Roxanne. It was as if he was trying to say that
Roxanne deserved all the credits.Aubree noticed it, so she purposely pouted and blamed herself when
she said, “It’s such a shame I couldn’t find a doctor as impressive as Dr. Jarvis. Otherwise, you
wouldn’t have to suffer for such a long time, Old Mr. Queen!”Alfred hurriedly waved his hands in
dismissal, and he uttered delightfully, “Why would you say that? Although I’ve been bedridden all these
years, I’m well aware of what was happening around me. All these years, you’ve gone through hoops
to find me so many talented doctors, haven’t you?I’ll forever remember your kind gestures!”With her
reddened eyes, Aubree answered, “Yet, all the doctors I’ve found were useless..”Alfred was moved
when he saw how caring she was. With a smile on his face, he said, “I know you’re a good person. You
deserve the credit for finding me those doctors for the past years. Otherwise, I would’ve suffered
more.”Henrietta quickly comforted her as well. “You’ve been very thoughtful, Aubree. In fact, you’ve NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
even been treating Old Mr. Queen like your own grandpa! We’re very grateful.”After saying that, she
remembered how Lucian had also contributed to curing Alfred over the years. “Lucian, you too. Thank
you,” she added.In response, Lucian slightly nodded. “We were just doing our duties as the younger
generation.”Hearing that, Henrietta immediately glanced at their outfits and couldn’t help but say, “Good
things come in pairs, right? Since you’ve already been together with Aubree for so many years, I guess
we’ll meet each other again at your engagement party!”
