    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 I won''t let anything happen to you. I''ll figure out the


    components that make up the antidote!”


    “Thanks for your help.” Roxanne beamed gratefully.


    “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, I 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. I 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 I surrender. I


    only want you to stay by my side.”


    Roxanne was moved and began to relent. Indeed, that''s such a minor issue now when I may lose my


    life soon. As long as I can keep on living, we''ll find a way to get our revenge.


    Peering apologetically at him, she spected, “Well, I 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 I 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.”
