After all, given the circumstances, administering the drug was the only option they had.
But Roxanne was unwilling to bear the risk of harming Lilith, so Gideon had to be the one to approve it.
In that sense, he deserved it.
It wasn't his problem, yet he had to get involved.
As long as the blame didn't fall on her in the end, Aria didn't care.
“But, what if Aria created a fake antidote and tricked Dr. Reaves into thinking it was real?”
Flora spoke softly.
“Right after Lilith became unable to quit the drug, Aria just so happened to develop an antidote… and according to what Aria said before, shouldn’t an antidote be observed for at least half a month?”
“After just one night, Aria hastily called it an antidote…”
After Flora finished speaking, all eyes turned to Aria.
She had a point.
Why was the antidote submitted after only one night of observation?
Wasn't it because Aria knew Lilith desperately needed an antidote right now?
As long as she developed one, Lilith would be sure to use it. As for the effects, Aria could just use her prepared excuse and claim it had nothing to do with her if something went wrong.
Gideon's expression shifted. He didn’t want to wrongly accuse Aria. “Aria, how can you be sure that what you developed is the antidote?”
If Aria could just give him one reason, he would believe her.
Just one…
“Why can’t I be sure?”
“It was targeted treatment, the right drug for the right symptoms. I am certain that this is the antidote.”
What else could she say? That the blood panels of the test mice had gradually stabilized after administration?
That would only lead to more questions, and she couldn't possibly provide a perfect answer for every single one.
Once they started to doubt her, the accusation was already a conviction in their minds.
