Seeing Jonathan's confidence, Lucian asked, "What is it? Stop keeping me in suspense."

Jonathan smiled casually. "Our country offers the ideal environment for developing traditional medicine. I'm sure that was Dr. Jarvis's objective in returning. It's just..." He glanced at Lucian; no further explanation was needed.

Roxanne had returned to Chanaea to expand the field of traditional medicine, but unexpectedly encountered the Farwell family and was forced to leave.

Lucian grimaced, his frustration evident.

"But if the proposition is attractive enough, I'm sure Dr. Jarvis will stay for the sake of traditional medicine research," Jonathan continued. "You've heard of Chanaea's secluded prestigious families. The Damaris family, once prominent in ancient medicine, recently announced their return to offer consultations. Dr. Jarvis will surely be interested."

Lucian was shocked to hear of the Damaris family. Even in Horington, the Queen family, the most prestigious in the medical fraternity, paled in comparison.

For generations, the Damaris family had worked closely with traditional medicine practitioners. Legend held that their ancestor was a royal physician with extraordinary skills and a collection of ancient medical texts from the palace, passed down through generations. They consistently proved their skill and the authenticity of their texts, silencing doubters.

These ancient texts had become priceless treasures. After a long absence from the public eye, the Damaris family had begun slowly re-emerging, offering occasional consultations—unpredictably, relying on chance encounters. Even the Queen family only learned of this through Alfred's connection.

Roxanne, specializing in traditional medicine, undoubtedly knew of the Damaris family. Learning of their consultations might be reason enough for her to remain in Chanaea.

Seeing Lucian's thoughtful expression, Jonathan added, with a smile, "Furthermore, the Damaris family isn't just offering consultations. They plan to establish a research institute in Chanaea, expanding the influence of traditional medicine and seeking collaborators. Besides Dr. Jarvis's institute, no one is more worthy. She'll surely want to collaborate."

Jonathan genuinely meant what he said, beyond helping a friend. He'd witnessed Roxanne's skills firsthand. World-renowned physicians had failed to cure Alfred until Roxanne's intervention. No one in Chanaea surpassed her in traditional medicine.

Jonathan initially intended to leverage this opportunity for Queen Group, relying on Alfred's relationship with the Damaris family. However, he was happy to yield to Roxanne if she became a competitor. Queen Group already worked with Roxanne's institute and would thus indirectly collaborate with the Damaris family.
