Chapter 467
Mission To Remarry
After Jack was finally done explaining, the cubicle became quiet again. Daniel immediately approached Jack and asked, âMr. Damaris, when will the medical consultation start?â
Jack glanced at the time and replied, âSoon. Please wait for a moment. We are preparing outside.â
Daniel nodded. Shooting Roxanne a weird look, he asked Jack, âWeâve got a serious responsibility here. Why donât we bring a few more doctors from another cubicle over?â
When Roxanne and the rest heard him, they glanced at him in confusion, not knowing why he would suggest that.
Jack asked directly, âWhy? Do you think that you will be too busy, Dr. Hopp?â
Daniel shook his hands. âIf there are four doctors here, weâd definitely have enough people. But nowâ¦
Iâm afraid that the check-ups for the kids will not be meticulous enough, and some mistakes might happen.â
As Daniel spoke, he deliberately glanced at Roxanne. In other words, he was suggesting that she was not professional enough.

Only then did Roxanne realize that Daniel was not satisfied with her. She could not help but feel confused.
I donât even know him, yet heâs being so hostile toward me.
She normally did not mind people doubting her medical skills. However, on this special occasion, she felt uncomfortable.
Jack followed the direction of Danielâs gaze and glanced at Roxanne. However, he quickly averted his gaze and said coldly, âDr. Hopp, are you saying that someoneâs skills here arenât up to par?â
Although Daniel merely smiled without saying anything, he was implicitly affirming what Jack said.
At that, Jack raised his eyebrows and looked at Roxanne.
While he also doubted Roxanneâs medical skills, he believed that Alfred and Harvey would not recommend an incapable traditional medicine doctor to him.
Still, he would not defend her based on this teeny bit of trust alone.
Observing this ridiculousâscene from the side, Larry frowned. âDr. Hopp, we are all doctors. At this critical juncture, please donât affect other peopleâs moods. Itâll soon become clear whose skills arenât up to par.â
Daniel did not expect Larry to speak up on behalf of Roxanne. A flash of surprise appeared in his eyes as he stared at the three of them suspiciously.
It was obvious what he was thinking.
A grim look flashed across the three peopleâs faces simultaneously.
Jack frowned. However, out of concern for the Damaris familyâs reputation, he did not reveal any fury.
Unable to stand it, Roxanne strode toward Daniel and said coldly, âDr. Hopp, we donât know each other at all. But since youâre older than me, I can understand if you doubt my medical skills. However, youâre crossing the line by misunderstanding me like that!â
Daniel did not expect Roxanne to be so aggressive. Even though he wanted to rebuke her, he decided against it and remained silent.
âRegarding the concerns you raised earlier, I can tell you very clearly that I wonât be a burden to anyone. If I display a single unprofessional act, you can raise it up with me anytime. Iâll leave on my own. The medical consultations target children. I wonât joke around with childrenâs lives!â Roxanne stood in front of Daniel with a serious expression.
Danielâs agitation dissipated slightly. He sounded quite hesitant when he said, âSince youâve already said that, if anything wrong happens later,â
Before he could finish his sentence, Larryâs gentle voice sounded in the cubicle. âIf anything goes wrong, Iâll settle it for her. You just need to mind yourself, Dr. Hopp.â
