    Chapter 1712 Developing The Cure


    “I believe I''ve seen the other medicinal herbs in the Damaris family''s ancient medicine books before.” In


    the end, Peregrine couldn''t recall the rest of the medicinal herbs.


    Hesitantly, Roxanne said, “Give me some time. I believe I can figure them out based on the leads


    you''ve provided.”


    When he realized she had read those ancient medicine books too, he was shocked but didn''t show it


    on his face. “The other medicinal herbs aren''t as important as the keyponent. I doubt Jack


    would''ve made it that easy for us to figure out.”


    As long as they couldn''t ascertain that crucial ingredient, they wouldn''t be able to develop the antidote.


    Carefully, Jonathan voiced his spection. “I don''t think it''s just a matter of figuring out the medicinal


    herbs. Perhaps Jack was so sure we wouldn''t be able to create the cure because he used an


    unconventional method to synthesize the poison. That may be why it''s so difficult to discern the


    poison''s raw materials.” It would exin why someone as skilled as Peregrine and Roxanne still


    couldn''t make heads or tails of the poison after so long.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Silence ensued. The atmosphere in the room turned gloomy.


    Both Peregrine and Roxanne were deep in thought with a frown.


    Even though they were in deep water, none of them intend to give up.


    “Will this help?” Lucian presented a bottle sitting at the side to the rest.


    The other three nced at the bottle, puzzled.


    Thus, he exined, “This is the bottle that contained the antidote. Perhaps some residues of the


    antidote remain inside and cane in handy.”


    After he fed Roxanne the antidote, he kept the bottle.


    He didn''t give it too much thought back then, but he was d he did it since it might provide a lead to


    the clueless doctors.


    “You kept the bottle? Why didn''t you take it out earlier?” admonished Peregrine, though he was relieved


    to hear that.


    That revtion visibly lightened Roxanne''s mood. “Lucian''s not proficient in pharmacology, Old Mr.


    Lomax. There''s no need to snap at him.”


    Then she beamed gratefully at Lucian. “Thank you for being scrupulous! These few drops of the


    antidote may be immensely helpful!”


    That idea excited Roxanne and Peregrine.


    With a serious expression, Peregrine urged, “Let''s not dawdle! Since we have the antidote, we can


    analyze it right now!”


    Roxanne nodded. “The analytical equipment in the hospital is inadequate, so I''ll head to the research


    institute right away.”


    As she spoke, she attempted to leave the bed.


    Lucian frowned as he watched her ignoring her condition. “You shouldn''t be moving around right now.”


    The more time passes since Roxanne consumes the antidote, the more ill she looks. Considering


    Jack''s threat earlier, if Roxanne tries to act recklessly again, the poison may kick in before tonight! If


    that happens, even if they figure out the poison''s form, it may be toote for her!


    “I''ll go, Roxanne. I know a bit about pharmacology,” proposed Jonathan.
