After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 284

"A hundred milligrams?"

Hearing that number, Charles frowned deeply.

Lilith already had a fragile constitution and was highly sensitive to medication. If she was given such a massive dose...

Charles looked at his sister. "Roxanne, did you really not know?"

Roxanne lifted her gaze, locking eyes with Hazel for a split second before looking away.

"I only knew she was in a lot of pain back then, so I allowed her to use a small amount. But exactly how much, I have no idea."

Hazel bit her lip.

She understood exactly what Roxanne was implying—she was supposed to take the fall.

She had already lost everything. If she took the blame, Roxanne would likely compensate her.

If she told the truth, even if she got out early, she would still have nothing and might even be sold off by her family for a dowry.

Hazel took a deep breath and spoke.

"It was a hundred and fifty milligrams in total. I synthesized it myself. She begged me to keep it a secret.

So I was the one secretly administering it to her. She also kept a stash of it herself."

Aria lightly tapped her fingers against the wooden bench.

A hundred and fifty. If all of that had entered Lilith's system, she would have been dead long ago.

There was likely still a large quantity of the drug left at the Rowan lab.

The officers who went to execute the search warrant returned quickly. One of them reported:

"The search is complete. We found about twenty milligrams of the drug remaining. Based on the financial records, roughly a hundred and fifty milligrams were synthesized."

The total amount matched.

But the remaining balance didn't.

Thirty milligrams of the drug had vanished into thin air. There was no way Lilith had been holding onto that much.
