    Lucian nodded, which Cayden took as a sign to drive Peregrine to the research institute.


    Only Roxanne and Lucian were left in the ward.


    After Peregrine left, Roxanne spoke to Madilyn. “Old Mr. Lomax is heading there right now. Just follow his instructions when he


    arrives.”


    At the moment, the trio was speedily devouring the lunch Linda bought.


    Upon hearing Roxanne''s words, Madilyn nodded and inquired, “Are you doing all right, Roxanne?”


    Even though it''s only been a few hours, her face is already as pale as a sheet of paper. Not to mention how feeble her voice


    sounds. Madilyn couldn''t help but get worried, despite not being able to know her friend''stest status through the screen.


    Smiling, Roxanne assured, “Everything''s fine. I''m still holding on. Nothing will happen to me.”


    As she spoke, she grimaced due to the pain.


    Spotting that, Madilyn became even more concerned but knew there was no point in speaking about it further. What''s most


    important right now is figuring out the antidote''sposition, using it to deduce the poison’s keyponent, and developing the


    antidote.


    With a heavy expression, she nodded. “I swear | won''t let anything happen to you. I''ll figure out theponents that make up the


    antidote!”


    “Thanks for your help.” Roxanne beamed gratefully.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    “I''m Archie''s and Benny''s godmother! Even if not for you, I''d still do it for them! If you keep acting courteous, I''m going to be


    mad!” Madilyn intentionally pretended to be enraged to lighten the mood.


    The moment she ended her sentence, smiles formed on their faces.


    “Even if an antidote can''t be synthesized in the end, | won''t let anything happen to you,” stated Lucian resolutely.


    He was preparing for the worst because Roxanne''s deteriorating condition wasn''t inspiring him to put all his hope in her.


    Hearing that, Roxanne met his eyes and assured softly but tenaciously, “I won''t let you submit to someone else. | will save


    myself today!”


    The couple''s conversation touched the people in theboratory.


    Lucian doesn''t seem like someone who has ever conceded, considering his status. Yet, Jack managed to push him to this state.


    It''s obvious how much he loves Roxanne. It''s hard not to feel pity for the two. They didn''t do anything wrong. Roxanne was only


    poisoned because someone else was jealous of her talents.


    Calmly, Lucian uttered, “I don''t care about that. I''ll find a way to get back at him even if | surrender. | only want you to stay by my


    side.”


    Roxanne was moved and began to relent. Indeed, that''s such a minor issue now when | may lose my life soon. As long as | can


    keep on living, we''ll find a way to get our revenge.


    Peering apologetically at him, she spected, “Well, | don''t think he''ll forgive you easily if you meet him again after what


    happened.”


    He hugged herfortingly. “It doesn''t matter what he wants me to do. As long as | can save you, I''ll do it. Nothing is more


    important than your life.”


    Laying in his embrace, she eased up. “That''ll be our only option if thingse to that. However, it hasn''te to that point yet.


    We still have hope.”
