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 her sister, Roxanne took another glance at Rowan’s smiley face. It took her 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 him repeatedly when he tried to offer her a gift, but when Rowan offered her a tiny lotus seed, she 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 her with words, Tritus decided to bring up the power of his family to crush Roxanne’s defense line.
Despite that, he still couldn’t understand her. Roxanne was someone open to modest persuasion but not hard coercion, she 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 Rowan’s excuse.
The Flaming Elysian Lotus Seed was so precious that it might be coveted by others. Therefore, he told her to take it in front of everyone to refrain others from having despicable ideas.
After watching Roxanne taking the lotus seed, he nodded and remarked, “Great. Now let’s go.”
The two of them ignored Tritus entirely, making him 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 she took a few steps, so she shouted at the latter.
“Okay! Coming!”
Though she was conflicted, Roxanne was still her sister. Skipping over, Eleanor quickly caught up with Roxanne before she 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. George 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 him down. How else do you plan to embarrass yourselves?”
If it weren’t for Rowan’s combat skills, Tritus would’ve flung a plate at him instead of using verbal threats when Rowan made those remarks earlier. Unfortunately, he wasn’t Rowan’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?” George 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, he handed the phone to Tritus.
When Tritus saw the jaw-dropping price on the screen, he 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 he realized why Rowan insisted on making her take the lotus seed on the spot.
If Tritus got his hands on it, he would be able to build connections around even with the Nolan Family. Unfortunately, he squandered the opportunity, causing him to clench his teeth in frustration.
