Chapter 1762 Jail
Meanwhile, Roxanne had a pale look on her face, but Lucian did not know if it was because she had not fully
recovered from the poison or because she was in a foul mood.
Lucian was worried, so after exiting the hotel, he brought her to lunch before taking her to the hospital for a full-
body checkup.
Knowing that he was worried, Roxanne went along with his plans.
Lucian was finally at ease after Roxanne underwent a series of tests and was confirmed to be mostly fine.
“I know my own body. The poison is gone,” Roxanne softly reassured him. “It's just that too many things have
happened lately, and I'm having a hard time digesting them all. I'll be fine once things blow over.”
Roxanne would feel wistful every time she thought about Jack's true nature and the collapse of Damaris Group.

“Jack only has himself to blame for the downfall of Damaris Group. Furthermore, the Damarises have to bear the
responsibility for not noticing what he has been doing. To put it simply, it was them who caused their fall from
grace.”
Jack's vision for the continued development of Damaris Group, if realized, would result in worsening circumstances
over time.
If their cover had not been blown this time, it was highly probable that Damaris Group would be implicated in an
irreparable medical mishap the next time.
Perhaps this was the best ending for Damaris Group instead of involving even more victims.
Roxanne knew that, and yet, she still could not help but feel wistful about it.
If this is the true nature of Damaris Group, a company known for its benevolence, what about the other medical
groups?
Roxanne wondered if her decision to put her patients as her priority was wrong.
Seemingly reading her mind, Lucian leaned closer to her ear and said, “Every professional has their own
responsibilities. Damaris Group was established by a family of doctors, and they should prioritize saving lives. Even
if they sought wealth, they should not have taken the path of evil. They were the ones who mixed up their priorities.
Doctors like you are a rare sight now. I'd say Peregrine liked how you continued walking down the path you initially
chose, and that's why he has chosen to stay at your research institute.”
He then ran his fingers through Roxanne's hair and continued, “With me around, you won't need to worry about
money as Jack did. All you need to do is focus on your medical career and leave the financial issues to me.”
Moved, Roxanne smiled at him.
Despite his subtle words, she understood that he was asking her to hold on to her principles and ethics.

A comfortable silence ensued in the car.
Right then, the ringing of a phone broke that silence.
Taking out her phone, Roxanne realized it was a call from Madilyn.
Smiling, she answered the call. “What's up, Madilyn?”
Madilyn sounded excited. “I saw the news! I saw how Jack was caught! I can't believe that petty man was thinking of
running after hurting you like that. He better stay stuck in prison for the rest of his life!”
Roxanne turned to look at Lucian.
At the end of the day, Lucian was the one who managed to make Jack pay for his actions.
“By the way, how do you feel? Have you recovered completely?” Madilyn asked in concern.
“I just had a checkup at the hospital. I've mostly recovered.”
“That's fantastic!” Madilyn was even more excited than her. “This is a double blessing! Let's head out to celebrate,
and it'll be my treat. Bring Mr. Farwell and the kids along.”
