Proactive
Regarding the public outcry, all Colby could do was provide a few statements from the perspective of
the research institute. However, they did not do much to help.
Somehow, the situation slowly began to die down. In fact, it was completely turned around after
Harvey’s interview the next day.
Colby was humbled when he learned that Lucian was the one responsible and ashamed that he failed
to help Roxanne with such a minor problem.
The man felt even more insecure when he remembered meeting Lucian at Roxanne’s house. If he was
at Roxanne’s at that hour, they must be quite close!
Colby’s sense of insecurity instantly intensified when he thought of that.
He had thought he could stay by Roxanne’s side quietly, but when he saw how she could end up in
another man’s arms and how unlikely he was to beat his competitor, he realized he could not be as
selfless as he thought.
After chit-chatting with Roxanne, Hector changed the topic back to the project. “Dr. Jarvis, your medical
knowledge is impressive even though you’re young. You even gained Professor Lambert’s favor. I can
tell he sees greatness in you since he stood up for you without a second thought.”
Roxanne’s eyes were filled with respect for Harvey when she thought of the man. “Professor Lambert
treats his students all the same. If any of my classmates were put in the same situation, he would’ve
done the same thing.”
Hector was even more impressed with Roxanne after hearing that. “You’re already exceptional, so I’m
sure you’ll become a role model to the young generation if you benefit from the project. Professor
Lambert will be proud of you!”
“You’re too kind, Old Mr. Damaris. I promise I’ll do my best with the project,” responded Roxanne with a
polite smile.
Colby, sitting beside Roxanne, instinctively turned to look at the woman when he heard Hector. She’s
already way out of my league. If she manages to finish the project on her own, the distance between us
will be even greater.
At that thought, Colby could not help but furrow his eyebrows as he voiced tenderly, “I want to improve
myself with this opportunity too, so just let me know if you need anything. I’ll do whatever I can to help.”
After his previous encounter with him, Hector had a good impression of Colby. Hearing that Colby was
eager to assist with the project only made Hector like him more. “It’d be wonderful if you could lend a
helping hand, Dr. Galloway. That way, I won’t have to worry about the medical field in our country dying
out!” uttered Hector, whose eyes were filled with nothing but adoration for Colby.
Meanwhile, Jack gave Colby a strange look because he sensed something was off. I remember how
this man used to keep to himself in the research institute, so why would he suddenly be so proactive?
On top of that, Jack had noticed Colby sneaking a few glances at Roxanne just now, so he was
convinced that Colby had an ulterior motive for being so helpful.
However, he would rather not make an effort to guess what the motive was. Anyhow, Colby would have
to come to me sooner or later if he wanted to be a part of the project.
With that thought in mind, Jack knitted his eyebrows slightly before extending an olive branch and
pretending to be oblivious. “I’m grateful that you’re willing to assist us with the project, Dr. Galloway.
This is a toast to you.”
Naturally, Colby had no problem with the peace offering, so he, too, downed his drink as a courtesy.
