After lunch, Roxanne noticed Lucian seemed to make a phone call. In no time, the mansion’s doorbell rang.

Roxanne opened the door and saw Jonathan standing outside with a smile.

He quickly swept his gaze over her and was relieved to find that she was unhurt. Breaking into a grin, he said, “Dr. Jarvis, I’m here to pick up Lucian. Where is he?”
