Chapter 1865: The Right Person

Roxanne and Madilyn sat in the courtyard of the mansion, chatting casually under a clear night sky. Lorraine had already retired, leaving Madilyn feeling a sense of relief and newfound peace after a difficult ordeal.

“Roxanne, to be honest, I’ve been avoiding relationships,” Madilyn confessed, revealing her innermost fears. “I act nonchalant and bold to muster courage.” Her family background had subjected her to relentless rumors and gossip from a young age, forcing her to develop strength and optimism.

“Madilyn, you and your mother did nothing wrong; you don’t need to be afraid,” Roxanne reassured her friend.

Madilyn offered a small smile, deeply grateful to Roxanne for saving her mother. Only a doctor could fully appreciate the risk involved—even a renowned Chanaean physician might not have dared to do what Roxanne had done.

“What about Coralie? You said she’s quite proactive. And how do you feel about Jonathan?” Roxanne inquired. Jonathan, typically oblivious, had recently become unexpectedly popular. Coralie seemed to have captured his heart.

Roxanne worried, sensing her best friend’s feelings for Jonathan had progressed beyond a simple crush.

Madilyn shook her head. “I’m not sure, but I sense he enjoys Coralie’s company. I might not have a chance, but it’s nice to be his friend. He’s always kind.”

Seeing her friend’s expression, Roxanne retorted, “Madilyn, don’t give up so easily! You finally met someone you like. How can you give up? Besides, Jonathan and Coralie haven’t officially announced anything, right?”

Madilyn remained calm, her composure restored. She offered a faint smile. “Right now, I just want to focus on treating Jonathan’s gastritis.” Perhaps Coralie’s positive influence would help improve his depression. Maybe she was the right person for him.

“True,” Roxanne agreed. “His last check-up showed improvement. Can’t that blockhead see your sincerity?”

“Let’s change the subject,” Madilyn said, deflecting. “Matters of the heart can’t be forced. You did the same thing, remember? Don’t worry about me. Your new company is thriving. Send me two sets of your products someday. I feel old and worn out.”

Roxanne laughed. “You’re only twenty-seven! How can you be old and worn out? Okay, two sets it is.”

As they continued chatting, Madilyn gradually returned to her former self. Before leaving, Roxanne left a prescription for Lorraine, a remarkable remedy for blood production.

“Roxanne, I admire your medical skills,” Madilyn said with a smile. “If I ever need a new direction, I want to be your apprentice!” She watched Roxanne depart as Lucian arrived to collect her.
