The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1161

Chapter 1161

Watching Roxanne and Jack working in harmony with each other made the flames of jealousy in Colby’s heart blaze even more fiercely.

The pre-testing went on for three whole days.

By the end of it, they succeeded in testing the various properties of the finished product and determining its basic feasibility. Only then did they start gradually increasing the dosage.

Following the increased quantity of medicinal herbs used, the stamina required for the experiment also gradually rose.

Due to the delicate nature of the experiment, they could not add the materials all at once. Instead, they could only stand watch at the laboratory bench and add it slowly, a little at a time.

On top of that, it was not easy to obtain the materials. Hence, they had to be extra careful while adding them.

Noticing the beads of sweat on Roxanne’s forehead, Jack offered in a low voice, “Let me do it.”

As he spoke, he made to take the materials from her.

However, she dodged his hand cautiously. She was worried about spilling the materials and dared not move about too much or abruptly. Nonetheless, that action was enough to indicate her refusal.

After all, there was no one else she trusted more than herself to carry out such a delicate task.

Seeing that, Jack raised his brows but did not insist any further. Instead, he grabbed two pieces of tissue from the side and said, “You’re sweating. I’ll help to dab it off.”

Without waiting for her to respond, he stretched his hand toward her forehead.

Absorbed in observing the process of the experiment, the sudden realization that his hand was in front of her face took her by surprise, and she subconsciously jerked her head away.

For a moment, Jack’s hand froze in midair.

Only when Roxanne noticed the tissues in his hand did it finally dawn on her what he had wanted to do. Even so, she felt a sense of repulsion in her heart.

“Thanks, Mr. Damaris, but I can do it myself,” she uttered after returning to her senses, breaking the awkward atmosphere rather abruptly. Then, she took the tissues from him.

Jack smiled nonchalantly in response.
