Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1689

Chapter 1689 A Risk I Have To Take

Madilyn's voice trembled a little. “The poison is acting up again, and this time, more violently than before.”

Lucian tightened his grip when he heard what she said. “Why is this happening?”

He had witnessed it himself when the poison flared up previously.

Madilyn is now saying that this time is worse than the last!

The person in his arms seemed to be in extreme pain. Despite being in his embrace, she was still shivering, her face ghastly white.

“Roxanne...” Lucian's voice grew strained, and there was a trace of imperceptible panic in his eyes.

I've already brought the antidote over. Why is this still happening?

“What should we do now? Is the antidote useless?” He lifted his gaze to stare at the group of specialists by the hospital bed.

The specialists exchanged glances.

After some time, Madilyn uttered through gritted teeth, "This is supposed to be the time when the poison flares up, and it's already the third day.”

Midnight. Jack timed it to the second. If I wait until morning, I'm afraid Roxanne won't be able to hold on anymore!

That realization caused a wave of fear to wash over Lucian.

A steely look flashed across Madilyn's eyes. “We must get Roxanne to consume the antidote as soon as possible. She has no choice except to put up with the pain!”

She was well aware of the suffering Roxanne was presently experiencing, but there was no other way!

“What must I do?”

Apart from cooperating, Lucian did not know what else he could do. He could only hate himself for being helpless.

Madilyn leaned over again and aimed the flask at Roxanne's mouth. “Hold her down. Don't let her struggle!”
