Chapter 1230


    When Lucian recalled the scene at the research institute, a cold look entered his eyes. “Back then,


    when you had just fallen into aa after being poisoned, Jack refused to send you to the hospital.


    Tell me, what do you think his intentions are?” Upon hearing that, Roxanne halted what she was


    thinking as she wavered.He coldly continued, “Do you think traditional medicine could’ve saved you


    back then?”Without hesitation, she shook her head. “I may be unconscious back then, but I know how


    dire the situation was. Even if the person who fainted weren’t me, I wouldn’t necessarily have the


    courage to ept the responsibility of treating them.”As he gazed intensely at her, he signaled for her


    to continue, so she did. “Traditional medicine has been passed down for many years because it’s


    effective inbating chronic diseases. The best way to handle my situation yesterday was to send


    me to the emergency room immediately because the poison gas had invaded my brain. Acupuncture


    was worth a try, but the risk of failing is greater. Of course, I wouldn’t take that risk when better options


    were avable.”“What would’ve happened if you didn’t receive treatment in time?” Lucian


    inquired.Roxanne gave that question some thought and replied seriously, “If it weren’t too serious, then


    I would’ve been in a vegetative state. If it were, I would’ve died. Even if I was lucky enough to wake up,


    I think I would’ve be mentally disabled.”When her train of thought ended there, she expressed her


    gratitude to him. “If not for your help, one of those three scenarios would’ve been my fate, Mr. Farwell.


    So, thank you.” As though he didn’t hear her thanks, he continued to focus on Jack. “Do you think Jack


    was unaware of those three possibilities?”Roxanne hesitated to shake her head. Jack definitely knows


    about those possibilities, but if I shake my head, Lucian will be more suspicious of him, and I don’t


    want either of us to suspect him even more.Upon detecting her hesitation, Lucian stared at her coldly.


    “You still don’t think he’s suspicious?”Frowning, she spected, “Maybe… Mr. Damaris has his


    reasons.”After all, he may have experience using acupuncture to treat those attacked by that poison. If


    that’s true, it brings up another question. Why does he just so happen to know how to deal with such a


    rare poison? If that’s not the case, why did he insist on not sending me to the hospital and opting to use


    acupuncture to treat me instead? While chaos roamed in her mind, she put on a calm facade.Gazing at


    her, Lucian questioned, “Do you know what Jack was doing when I went to him?”Roxanne tensed up


    upon hearing his tone, thinking that he had discovered some sort of irrefutable evidence. If that


    happens, I may need to change my long-standing impression of Jack…As he recalled Jack’s actions,


    he narrowed his eyes. “He was preparing to remove your clothes! He’s just an animal who takes


    advantage of you, yet you still trust him so much.”That dumbfounded her. I thought he had irond


    evidence, but that’s all?Due to her frequent acupuncture sessions, she was used to taking patients’


    clothes off during treatment.It was why she was dumbstruck by Lucian’s reaction. Did Lucian really


    think Jack took off my clothes because he wanted to… Then again, Lucian did get jealous many times


    before. I’m not sure how to describe what I’m feeling right now…This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
