    Chapter 1666 Hang On


    The crowd inhaled sharply as fear crept into their hearts.


    “No wonder Mrs. Farwell''s arteries became so narrow,” someone muttered under their breath.


    Peregrine had a keen hearing, and he lifted his feet to deliver a light kick on that person''s leg. “Why


    didn''t you look more into it if you''ve already discovered that?”


    That person was not expecting a kick from Peregrine, but he was not at all angry about it. In fact, he


    was embarrassed.


    After all, Peregrine was the role model they admired back when they were younger. It was an honor to


    be taught a lesson by their role model.


    The person lowered his head and told Peregrine what happened the night before adding, “We''ve


    already done all the tests we could, but we couldn''t find what was making Mrs. Farwell''s arteries


    narrow and expand. It''s only after your diagnosis did we realize what was going on.”


    A beatter, he continued guiltily, “Mrs. Farwell was fine during her stay in the hospital up untilst


    night. She returned to her initial state after our treatment. There was nothing strange at all.”


    “Theck of anything strange is what''s strangest!” Peregrine kept his hands behind his back as a grave


    expression crossed his face. “Dangerous changes are going on in her, but you doctors didn''t even


    realize that!”


    The other doctors kept their heads lowered.


    Peregrine looked at them the same way he looked at his past students. Without realizing it, he began to


    exin Roxanne''s condition in detail to them.


    However, some were still confused by his exnation. “Old Mr. Lomax, we know about that, but what


    do we do now?”


    Peregrine snapped his brows together. “Do you really need to ask me that despite how clear I''ve made


    things out to be? Find a way to rx her arteries. Otherwise, she might not even be able to stay alive


    three dayster!”


    Everyone''s hearts lurched when they heard that, and the doctors quickly inclined their heads before


    working on their respective tasks.


    Peregrine continued to watch them with somber eyes as the other doctors busied away. At the same


    time, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.


    “Old Mr. Lomax, how long do you think Roxanne will be able to hang on for?”


    Lucian was crestfallen as he listened to Peregrine''s words earlier.


    When Peregrine heard Lucian''s voice, he came back to his senses and shook his head grimly. “Things


    aren''t looking good for her.”


    Peregrine looked at them the same way he looked at his past students. Without realizing it, he began to


    exin Roxanne''s condition in detail to them.

    Lucian fixed his gaze on the elderly man as he waited for thetter to continue.


    Turning to the hospital bed, Peregrine asked, “Who is she to you?”


    “I''ll be honest with you. Roxanne is my wife and the mother to my three children. I''ll be willing to do


    anything as long as you cure her.”


    His words were respectful but assertive.


    Peregrine''s frown deepened, but he was not irked by Lucian''s tone. “I''ll be frank with you too. You look


    ill.”


    Lucian pursed his lips in silence.


    He had neither slept nor rested for two whole days. His eyes were bloodshot, his lips were chapped,


    and he barely had any color to his face.


    Peregrine continued slowly, “She wouldn''t survive past the second day if I hadn''te.”


    A me of hope began burning in Lucian''s heart.


    However, what came out of Peregrine''s mouth next extinguished that me.


    “But I can''te up with a n right away. I''ll need to do some research first.”


    The light in Lucian''s eyes went out. “Will... Roxanne be able to hang on until you''re done?”
