My Marriage to a Mute Girl novel Chapter 48

Receiving the envelope from Peter, the thin sheet did not feel any weight at all.

[Can I read this?]

Lexie hesitantly looked at Peter.

Even Edith had never seen it, Peter had just shown it to her, so it was unbelievable.

Peter, however, nodded with great certainty, "You are my daughter, what belongs to the Mitchell family is belongs to you, you can read for sure."

In front of Peter, Lexie carefully opened the envelope and drew out a yellowed piece of letter paper inside, with a few lines of small, elegant letters on a red spacing grid.

[Astragalus, forsythia, wolfberry ......]

The prescription looked nothing special, wasn't it just the recipe for Mitchell Pharmaceutical Group's 'Nerves Soothing Pill'? The ingredients would be marked on the boxes of the medicine.

But that was where the strangeness came, there was no difference between the contents of this recipe and the one on the medicine box, again both without labeling the dosage.

Lexie was puzzled when Peter's impatient voice rang out, "What about it, Lexie, did you remember anything?"

Lexie shook her head.

Of course she couldn't think of anything, it was originally a swindle to him.

"Take a closer look," Peter was a bit impatient, "Didn't you say, your mother made you memorize it? Think about the dosage of these medicines."

Hearing these words, Lexie understood his intention.

Peter had a prescription, but not the dosage of all the medicines.

But the best seller for the Mitchell Pharmaceutical Group was the 'Nerves Soothing Pill', and it had never been broken over the years, so how exactly did he produce it without the exact dosage?

Lexie asked, [Dad, how did my mom die?]

Being asked this question, Peter's face suddenly stiffened, "Didn't I tell you? Your mother died in an accidental car accident, why, what did grandma say to you?"

Looking at Peter's faint-hearted look, Lexie swept the corner of her eyes over the bookcase.

She shook her head in denial.

Peter's face eased up a bit.

Seeing that Lexie couldn't think of anything, Peter looked disappointed and sat down behind the desk.

Lexie handed the prescription over, but it was also casually set aside by him, as if he didn't care at all.

This prescription was not worth anything at all, what was worth was the dosage. No wonder Peter would lock this up here and not even setting up a defense.

"Forget about Edith, how are you doing with the things you were told?"

A cold voice came from behind the desk.

Lexie forced herself to be calm, [I'm doing it.]

"It's true that this matter can't be rushed, but you have to step up, the Mitchell family needs the Howard family as a backer, not only for me but also for yourself," Peter looked at Lexie, "Do you still have the medicine?"

Lexie frowned and shook her head.

The packet of medicine had been thrown away long ago, and it was probably still under her bed anyway since no one went her room all year.

Peter, however, was happy, thinking that Lexie had already used up the packet of medicine.

"I'll have one sent over some other time, and remember, don't put too much in at once, lest you get caught."

Lexie reluctantly nodded in response.

Peter locked the prescription back into the cabinet, and changed his normal attitude towards Lexie, "Lexie, it's rare for you to come back, so come home with me for dinner tonight."

Lexie was secretly surprised, thinking that perhaps it was because she had mentioned the prescription.

As night fell, the bustle of J City was just beginning.

Inside the Howard family's summer resort on the outskirts of the city, Tina had been called into Lennox Howard her father’s study for a while now.
