His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne)

Chapter 2006

Chapter 2006 Forgive Him When He Is Dead

Grant's voice trailed off as he lost consciousness yet again.

Seeing that, Lucian ordered his bodyguards to bring Grant back into the manor.

“Roxanne, just do your best and leave the rest to fate!” Lucian said, squeezing her hand reassuringly.

As he did, he noticed her hand felt slightly cold, a sign of how anxious she truly was.

Roxanne nodded and quickly made her way back into the manor.

Putting aside their relationship and the animosity that existed between them in the past, Grant was now

just a dying patient, in need of Roxanne's medical expertise.

Roxanne was a doctor, so she had to do her best to save lives.

Without hesitation, she began the preparations for Grant's acupuncture treatment.

At the same time, Jonathan and Madilyn were also summoned to prepare the medicine as instructed by

Roxanne.

Charcoal was needed to boil the medicine, so it could only be done outside the mansion. Madilyn was

responsible for making sure the temperature was just right while Jonathan kept adding water to the pot.

“I guess this is what they call karma, huh? Grant doesn't deserve to be Roxanne's father. He got lucky

as Roxanne is too kind.

Otherwise, if someone else were in Roxanne's shoes, they would've ignored his plight!” Madilyn

exclaimed indignantly.

Jonathan nodded in agreement. He sighed and said, "I guess he won't live for long. Roxanne is doing

all she can, but in the end, it's up to fate how long he has left.”

“That's good enough. His own son and daughter don't even seem to care about him. Meanwhile, his

mistress is too busy living a luxurious life and never bothers to visit him. Grant is blind as he is unable

to comprehend who is actually being kind to him.”

Madilyn would never forgive him.

She could understand how her best friend felt as she, too, had a horrible father.

In the guest room on the third floor, Grant soon regained consciousness after receiving Roxanne's

acupuncture treatment. The help brought him the medicine that he was supposed to take.

Roxanne returned to the living room, looking exhausted.

Lucian came up to her and gently began to knead her shoulders. He was well aware of how exhausting Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

it was for her to maintain the same posture while she was performing her acupuncture treatment.

Jonathan and Madilyn entered the living room and sat down on the couch. No one said a word.

“The cancer cells had spread all over his body, and if I did not intervene and help him, he would most

likely die within a few days.

For now, if I continue to treat him with acupuncture and he continues to take the necessary medicine,

he could live for at least half a month,” Roxanne revealed calmly.

Despite their shared profession, Madilyn found herself in awe of Roxanne's knowledge and skill.

The case of a person diagnosed with stomach cancer that had metastasized throughout their body was

typically considered a terminal prognosis, meaning that death was likely to occur at any given time.

However, Roxanne was able to state the time of death specifically, showing that she was in total control

of the situation.

“Roxanne, don't blame me for being nosy. Can you really forgive Grant?” Madilyn finally blurted out.

Roxanne was not sure how she should feel. She could feel a bitter smile creep onto her face as she

replied, “I guess so. He only has a fortnight to live, so when the time comes for him to pass, I'll find a

way to forgive him.”

She actually wanted to say that death was too light a punishment for Grant. He should be having a

taste of his own medicine by experiencing how torturing the world could be.

It was every man for himself when trouble came knocking. That was particularly true for Grant, who had

been abandoned by not only his wife Winnie but also by his children, Yosef and Yuliana. The two never

regarded him as a father figure. As the saying went, “What goes around comes around.”

A tense silence hung in the living room when Elias and Sonya arrived home.

Upon hearing their son explain the situation, the couple exchanged a look and both indicated their

approval of Roxanne's decision.

“No matter what, he's still our in-law in name. We should pay him a visit,” Elias announced. He then

went upstairs to visit Grant.

Sonya followed after him.

Suddenly, Roxanne recalled something and told Lucian, "Let the children say their farewells to their

beloved grandfather. He won't be staying here any longer. We'll have to arrange for his transfer to the

Jarvis residence, where I believe he'd prefer to spend his remaining days.”
