Chapter 1742: Generally Fine

“What should we do now, Mr. Damaris?” Kevin asked, already gripped by fear, knowing this was Lucian’s revenge.

Jack’s temper flared. After reprimanding Kevin, he barked, “Contact Old Mr. Damaris. As head of the family, he might manage damage control.”

Kevin grunted. Jack added, “Also, transfer all company funds immediately. We must salvage what we can!” He suspected Lucian wouldn’t stop there.

“Understood!” Kevin started to leave.

But Jack, growing more troubled, declared, “Forget it. I’ll go with you!” He hurried the nurse to bandage his wounds, then stood to leave. Suddenly, weakness overcame him; his legs wobbled, and he collapsed, losing consciousness.

“Mr. Damaris! Are you alright?”

Kevin, alerted by the commotion, rushed to Jack’s side. Seeing the unconscious man, a hesitant glint crossed his eyes. Lucian will never let Damaris Group go. If I stay, I’ll be dragged down. The urge to flee overwhelmed him. He paused, though. Even if I left, Lucian might not forgive me. He turned to the nurse. “Take him to the emergency room. Quickly!”

Startled, the nurse, spurred by his instruction, summoned a stretcher and rushed Jack to the emergency room.

Meanwhile, Jonathan, elated by the seizure of Damaris Group’s warehouses, exclaimed, “That bastard, Jack, must be regretting this now!”

Lucian, standing beside him, pretended not to hear, solemnly gazing at Roxanne. She was sitting up, visibly improved, though still weak. Madilyn and Linda tended to her; the children, no longer crying, chatted happily with her. The ward hummed with warmth.

Upon learning of Roxanne’s recovery, specialists arrived, encountering Lucian and slowing, greeting him cautiously. He nodded. “Don’t let her know I’m here.”

They entered, shocked to find Roxanne awake. Their initial disbelief morphed into admiration as they examined her.

“How is it?” Roxanne asked, noticing their expressions.

They explained, “Your body is generally fine. The hardened blood vessels have improved. Rest is all you need; you’ll soon be back to normal.”

The children cheered. Roxanne smiled, stroking their heads.
