My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 455

Chapter 455

“There’s definitely something that can counter the poison. Everything has its antidote!”

Her voice reverberated around the room.

The next morning...

Ashlyn was rudely awakened by the shrill sound of her alarm; her body was aching.

She had fallen asleep on the way home from the research center the previous night and had not woken up since.

She pulled herself off the bed and headed to the bathroom.

After a simple breakfast, she glanced at her palm and realized that the dark patch had grown overnight.

The poison is still spreading...

She decided to ask Harrison to drive her to the research center instead of going behind the wheel herself.

Jared was a productive worker. By the time she arrived at the research center, he was already analyzing a bottle of backtrack poison.

“It’s a complex poison. It must have been the brainchild of a genius,” he muttered in awe.

“It’s a threat to mankind,” Ashlyn growled. “Who knows how many innocent people will die if this appears on the market?”

She pulled on a hazmat suit and continued, “I want to take part in the research process. Tell everyone to drop whatever they’re doing and focus on this project.”

“Yes, Boss!”

She gave herself an adrenaline shot to keep herself awake.

Jared began to feel sorry for her. “Boss... Someone poisoned you! You should take a break and leave everything to us.”

“The more manpower, the merrier. I’m also a doctor, after all,” Ashlyn said nonchalantly, “Let’s begin.”

The experiments ended at 2 o’clock in the afternoon.

Peeling the hazmat suit off her lethargic body, Ashlyn turned to the researchers and announced, “Manufacture the delaying agent first. I need to go to University T.”

She went straight to the lounge to take a bath and change her clothes before giving Harrison a call.

She fell asleep yet again the moment she got into the car.

Meanwhile, in a classroom at University T...

Tinsor scooted over to Blair’s seat with an evil grin on his face. “I heard that a beautiful top surgeon from the First Hospital is going to the med school for a talk! Is it Ashlyn?”

Blair scoffed. “That’s my sister-in-law, for goodness’ sake!”

A few other rich kids crowded around them out of curiosity.

“Hey, I heard that she’s a hot chick with an amazing body!” someone commented.

Recently, Blair and Tinsor became the most hardworking students in the class, to everyone’s surprise.
