Of course, Roxanne had clearly heard Daniel’s question too, and she couldn’t help but freeze momentarily before glancing at the other doctors seated around her.
As expected, everyone was staring at her in shock and bewilderment..
The woman then turned back to Daniel and smiled modestly. “You’re being so courteous, Dr. Hopp. I just so happen to know some unorthodox treatment methods out of pure coincidence. It’s an absolute honor that you’re interested.”
“I’ve seen what you’re capable of with my own eyes, Dr. Jarvis,” Daniel said. “It’s definitely got nothing to do with coincidences or luck. You don’t have to be so modest.”
Roxanne wanted to respond politely, but Jack cut them off with a smile, “Let’s save that for after the banquet, shall we, Dr. Jarvis and Dr. Hopp? It’s time to get down
to business.”
Roxanne could only hold her tongue and nod at Daniel in appreciation.
She and Daniel initially didn’t get along at the start of the last medical consultation, but the man eventually exhibited the true characteristics of an outstanding traditional medicine practitioner.
Hence, their relationship grew amicable after the consultation. Roxanne had thought she wouldn’t see him again, but clearly, she was mistaken.
He even saved me from all this awkwardness when I didn’t ask him to. Noticing her gratitude, Daniel shot her at friendly smile before turning away and waiting for Jack to speak.
The entire banquet fell into silence for a brief moment. The crowd’s gazes fell on Jack and the two doctors beside him.
All the people here were well-known doctors across Chanaca. They had taken the time to attend this banquet out of respect for the Damaris family and also because they truly felt the project was important.
Regarding the project itself, Jack had only discussed it with a few doctors in the past, although most of them only had a slight gist of the situation.
That was why they now looked forward to hearing more from Jack. At the same time, they were just as curious about who the two doctors seated next to him were Even Dr. Hopp treats this woman with so much respect, and Mr. Damaris seems really friendly with them. Who on earth could they be?
Jack glanced at every audience member before opening his mouth.
“I believe you all know the reason behind this banquet. Everyone seated here will be a crucial ally to the Damaris family, so let’s start off with a toast.”
In response, everyone raised their glasses.
Jack chugged his drink before continuing. “Given how many years of experience all of you have, I’m sure you’re aware of what it means to be a practitioner of medicine. A doctor helps the weak, saves the dying, and gives people hope. That is all there is to it. One who chooses this path should never expect anything in return!”
All the doctors glanced at each other resolutely. “Expect nothing in return!” they all chimed in.
“And that’s precisely why the Damaris family started this project,” Jack declared with a raised voice. “It’s our honor to be able to gain your support, and we’ll be sure not to let you down. In light of this project, my family has decided to release our collection of books with the hope
that they will further assist everyone in expanding their research in traditional medicine. Let us work together to unearth Chanaea’s rich medical philosophy and make traditional medicine well-known across the globe!”
Emotion swirled within the hearts of every audience member, and their expressions turned grave.
Everyone looked visibly excited at the mention of the Damaris family disclosing its books.
