Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1669

Chapter 1669 Why Do You Say That

Old Mr. Lomax!

Colby's eyes were filled with shock at Lucian's words.

He even managed to hire Old. Mr. Lomax. Even more surprisingly, Old Mr. Lomax couldn't handle Roxanne's condition. Otherwise, Lucian would not have come to see me today.

“What else did the old gentleman say?” He was desperate to hear Peregrine's diagnosis.

Lucian shook his head, his expression dark. “Old Mr. Lomax is still perusing the medical literature for a way to cure Roxanne.”

Colby turned grim; his eyes thoughtful. “Let me mull it over. I will think of something.”

I am in prison while Roxanne lies on a hospital bed with her life at stake. Even Old Mr. Lomax couldn't save her. I need to do something for her no matter what it takes.

Lucian's words played over and over again in his mind.

Colby's brows were furrowed as he tried to decipher any information he could from those words.

However, despite wracking his brain, he could not think of any medicinal herbs that could match the drug's efficacy.

Colby grew frustrated.

“Dr. Jarvis spent most of her time in the laboratory. She is susceptible to the smells of medicinal herbs, including rare specimens that have passed through her hands. She would have noticed something if she smelled something poisonous, and Jack knows this.” Swiftly, he arrived at a possibility. “To disguise the smell of the medicinal herbs, he must have used a good amount of fragrance.”
