Roxanne was drenched in a cold sweat from the pain. When she was finally done writing the formula, she looked up at the screen and said, “Old Mr. Lomax, this is the formula I can think of for now. It might be incomplete. Please help me to check it later.”
Peregrine nodded. “Don't worry. I'll do my best.”
Roxanne flashed him a grateful smile before turning to Lucian. “Get someone to send Archie over. Be quick.”
“Okay.” Just as he was about to give Cayden a call, Jonathan offered, “There's no time for that! I'll go!”
“Thank you,” Roxanne uttered weakly.
Jonathan then rushed out of the laboratory.
“Why are you sending Archie there?” Lucian pulled her into his embrace to distract her.
Roxanne was trembling from the pain, but she still managed to answer, “A-Archie remembers the order of the medicinal herbs in the research institute. Only he can gather all the herbs using the shortest amount of time.”
Even Roxanne could not defeat Archie in that.
Meanwhile, Peregrine was confused about who Archie was.
All he could gather was that Archie was a person with amazing memory based on Roxanne's description.
While he was deep in his thoughts, he heard Madilyn shriek, “Roxanne!”
From the screen, Roxanne could be seen curled up and trembling in pain. She could barely focus on what they were saying.
A conflicted look fleeted across Lucian's eyes when he saw how much pain Roxanne was in.
No matter how torturous it was for her, she still snuggled against his chest instinctively.
Realizing that, Lucian came to a decision. He held her tightly with one hand and used the other to hit the back of her neck with the right amount of force.
