Chapter 1965 Go With The Flow
After some time, the entire living room was filled with a faint coffee fragrance.
Even Roxanne couldn’t help drinking two cups. The coffee left a pleasant aftertaste in her mouth.
Lucian and Jonathan chatted idly, discussing many famous tourist spots and interesting cultural stories. Taking in Jonathan’s current state, he seemed like a completely different person.
“Lucian, I’ve completely recovered, and I think it’s time for me to return to work.” That was a decision Jonathan made after thorough consideration.
However, Lucian appeared unhurried after hearing that. He merely glanced at Jonathan and slowly lifted his cup to savor the coffee.
“Are you sure you’re okay now?” he asked calmly.
Jonathan nodded, the look in his eyes calm and peaceful.
“Lucian, I used to think that I was pressured into doing my job, but now it seems that the business industry suits me well and is the only place where I shine.”
That was what Jonathan observed recently. He once thought everyone was more or less pressured into progressing in life by personal gains.
However, ever since he became acquainted with Madilyn, her many qualities influenced him.
For Madilyn, the responsibility of being the hospital’s director was not just a profession but more like a career she was passionate about.
Subsequently, Jonathan suddenly came to the realization that the medicinal herbs business managed by his family could actually help millions of patients too.
Those collaborations with Lucian also elevated the industry and provided many job opportunities.
Following those revelations, Jonathan finally laid to rest the ghost of all his doubts and dejection that had been bothering him for the past twenty years.
Taking in the determined look on Jonathan’s face, Lucian was reminded of their younger days when they pursued their dreams with great motivation together.
“It’s great that you have regained your confidence,” Roxanne said with a smile.
“Here’s what we’ll do. James is currently managing Flora Verba Group, and everything is going well there. You’ll be in charge of Snuggly. In due course, we’ll turn Snuggly into the country’s biggest children’s clothing brand.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Jonathan agreed to Lucian’s plan without hesitation.
They chatted for a while longer before Jonathan took his leave.
Once he was gone, Roxanne immediately called her best friend to ask what exactly the latter had done to bring about such a drastic change in Jonathan.
Roxanne’s question left Madilyn somewhat puzzled. “What did I do? I didn’t notice. I’ve been swamped, dealing with numerous patients from an accident in the past few days. I haven’t been seeing Jonathan much lately!”
Roxanne was stumped and a little taken aback. She was under the impression that Madilyn must have provided Jonathan with some kind of encouragement behind the scenes.
“If so, how far has your relationship with him progressed?” she asked Madilyn in curiosity.
“Well, to be honest, there hasn’t been much progress. We haven’t even held hands,” Madilyn calmly explained.
Then, she expressed her current state of mind.
She believed in letting things happen naturally and didn’t want to be too proactive or passive.
“I’ll just go with the flow. I’ve stopped worrying about these things. Perhaps I don’t carry enough weight in his heart. Speaking of which, Coralie came to the hospital recently to settle her previous medical expenses and asked me to return the money Jonathan had paid on her behalf.” Madilyn’s tone carried a hint of fatigue.
Roxanne could understand the helplessness of being caught in an awkward position.
Not knowing how to console or comfort Madilyn, Roxanne could only tell her to take good care of herself and not overwork.
“I got it. Bring the three kids over to my place when you’re free. My mom won’t stop talking about them. She learned many new dishes and wants the children to try them.”
Roxanne nodded and agreed.
With Madilyn always busy at work and Lorraine being a stranger in a strange land, it was natural for the latter to feel slightly lonely.
Hence, Roxanne figured letting the children spend more time with Lorraine would be a good idea.
