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's latest 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's composition, using it to deduce the poison's key component, 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.
