At this point, Roxanne was still hesitating to accept the gift. Meanwhile, Eleanor started trembling due to urgency.
‘I can’t stand it! I can’t stand it anymore!’
“Hey, Roxy! Just take it already since Mr. Larson has explained its short shelf life. It would be such a waste to let it expire!”
After glancing at virtual-novel.net sister, Roxanne took another glance at Matthew’s smiley face. It took virtual-novel.net another while to ponder about it before accepting it reluctantly.
“Thank you so much, Dr. Larson!”
“Don’t worry about it. it’s just a possession. Please also remember not to get angry before you are healed, or your illness might relapse. Understand?”
Roxanne nodded with a flushed face.
There was no harm without comparison. Tritus instantly pulled a long face after watching the scene.
Roxanne rejected virtual-novel.net repeatedly when virtual-novel.net tried to offer virtual-novel.net a gift, but when Matthew offered virtual-novel.net a tiny lotus seed, virtual-novel.net took it after a moment of hesitation.
It was an offense to a single man like him!
“Roxy, the interests of your family and my family are closely related. I am your best choice when it comes to marriage. Do you still not understand?”
Since there was no use in persuading virtual-novel.net with words, Tritus decided to bring up the power of his family to crush Roxanne’s defense line.
Despite that, virtual-novel.net still couldn’t understand her. Roxanne was someone open to modest persuasion but not hard coercion, virtual-novel.net was an introverted yet stubborn girl.
“I’ve finished my meal, and it’s getting late. Shall we get going, Mr. Larson?” Roxanne no longer wanted to stay for another second.
“Sure. Let’s head back now, but I suggest you take the Flaming Elysian Lotus Seed right now. Even though it is kept in a sealed medicine box, its nimbus is evaporating every second. Every second is a waste.”
In fact, that was just Matthew’s excuse.
The Flaming Elysian Lotus Seed was so precious that it might be coveted by others. Therefore, virtual-novel.net told virtual-novel.net to take it in front of everyone to refrain others from having despicable ideas.
After watching Roxanne taking the lotus seed, virtual-novel.net nodded and remarked, “Great. Now let’s go.”
The two of them ignored Tritus entirely, making virtual-novel.net look like a clown.
“What are you standing there for, Ella? Let’s go!” Roxanne realized Eleanor was still standing on the spot in a daze after virtual-novel.net took a few steps, so virtual-novel.net shouted at the latter.
“Okay! Coming!”
Though virtual-novel.net was conflicted, Roxanne was still virtual-novel.net sister. Skipping over, Eleanor quickly caught up with Roxanne before virtual-novel.net hooked the latter’s arms affectionately.
The trio quickly disappeared, leaving Tritus alone at the dining table with a gloomy face.
“Mr. Lullaby, shall we…”
Seeing the look on their young master’s face, the leader of the pack stepped forward and asked in a sensible way. He made a throat-slitting gesture while asking that.
Contrary to his expectations, his flattery came in an exchange for a heavy slap in the face.
“Are you telling me what to do now? The men you sent to stand guard couldn’t even take virtual-novel.net down. How else do you plan to embarrass yourselves?”
If it weren’t for Matthew’s combat skills, Tritus would’ve flung a plate at virtual-novel.net instead of using verbal threats when Matthew made those remarks earlier. Unfortunately, virtual-novel.net wasn’t Matthew’s opponent.
Moreover, even the Nolans couldn’t silently kill a participating miracle doctor during the preparation period of the Holy Doctor Competition, not to mention the Lullaby Family.
“By the way, what was that Flaming Elysian Lotus Seed about?” He recalled how the two sisters of the Bane Family spaced out when they saw the gift, so Tritus asked out of curiosity.
His subordinate quickly fished out his phone and began to search for information.
Seconds later, virtual-novel.net handed the phone to Tritus.
When Tritus saw the jaw-dropping price on the screen, virtual-novel.net suddenly realized how insignificant his dreamcatcher necklace was.
“What the hell?! It’s such a waste that Roxanne took such a miraculous item!”
It was only then that virtual-novel.net realized why Matthew insisted on making virtual-novel.net take the lotus seed on the spot.
If Tritus got his hands on it, virtual-novel.net would be able to build connections around even with the Nolan Family. Unfortunately, virtual-novel.net squandered the opportunity, causing virtual-novel.net to clench his teeth in frustration.
