    Chapter 1720 This Is Not An Antidote


    Time ticked by slowly.


    As the sky grew darker, moreponents of the antidote were known.


    But s, there was still no lead on the most crucial medicinal herb.


    Roxanne''s condition was worsening.


    At noon, she could still sit up by herself. However, at that moment, she had to lean against Lucian to sit up. She had to clench


    her jaw all the time to prevent herself from groaning due to the severe pain.


    “We''re running out of time. I''m contacting Jack now!”


    The sight of her in pain made Lucian feel extremely anxious.


    Roxanne grabbed his wrist with great difficulty and said, “Let''s wait a little longer. | can still hold on for a little while.”


    We still have hope as long as we''re not at a critical moment.


    Holding on to thest hope, Peregrine tapped on the molecr form on the screen and said, “Let''s do another test. | want to


    find out what this is!”


    Without wasting any time, Madilyn poured the liquid onto the apparatus and did another test.


    Before the results were out, Peregrine suddenly came to a realization and said in a deep voice, “I got it! The key is not the


    medicinal herb. It''s a chemical added during the manufacturing process!”


    The altered molecr form was exactly the result of the medicinal herbs mixed with chemicals.


    Upon hearing that, Madilyn, too, came to her senses and said to Roxanne excitedly, “Roxanne, did you hear that? Old Mr. Lomax


    has figured out the key ingredient. We can start creating the antidote right away!”


    Creating the antidote was a piece of cake as long as they knew what the keyponent of the poison was.


    Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief and forced a smile. “That''s great.”


    Madilyn had been busy conducting tests the entire afternoon that she did not realize Roxanne''s current condition.


    The moment Madilyn noticed Roxanne''s condition had worsened, the smile on her face gradually disappeared and was reced


    with a look of worry.


    “But we''re running out of time. We''ve spent so much time figuring out theponents of the poison...”


    Judging by Roxanne''s condition, she might not be able to hold on until we''ve created the antidote.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Roxanne assured calmly, “Don''t worry. We still have time. You''ll definitely create it in time. Don''t panic.”


    Madilyn''s eyes were red with tears when she heard Roxanne''s weak voice.


    When she saw Peregrine still fumbling around for the form of the antidote, her panic rose to new heights.


    Momentster, Peregrine approached the phone screen and nced at Roxanne with a grim look. “This isn''t quite right.”


    Roxanne felt her heart sink a little. “Why would you say that?”


    Peregrine shook his head slowly. “Based on my medical experience, this form can slow down the effect of the poison, but it


    doesn''t get rid of itpletely. It doesn''t work that way no matter how much you consume.”


    Just then, Roxanne thought of something, and she was shocked by Jack''s viciousness.


    With a frown, she asked, “Is it possible that this isn''t an antidote at all? Instead, it only functions to slow down the effects of the


    poison?”


    Jack wants to use this tactic to acquire Farwell Group and the research institute.


    The thought of that sent a chill down Roxanne''s spine.


    She turned to look at Lucian and held his hand.


    At first, she was open to the option of Lucian looking for Jack if they came to a dead end.


    However, after realizing what Jack had been nning, she could not let Lucian meet Jack anymore.


    Jack already knows we''re trying to find the antidote. Who knows what he''ll do to it when Lucian meets him?
