The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1163

Chapter 1163

Arriving at the corridor with better ventilation, Jack asked Roxanne about her condition concernedly, “How are you feeling?”

He had been near the flask’s opening as well, but his symptoms of poisoning were not as severe because he reacted in time.

Roxanne’s head was spinning terribly. Still, she forced herself not to succumb to vertigo. Staring at the research facility’s entrance, she asked, “H-Has everyone moved out of the building?”

The gas was very poisonous and spread rapidly.

She was afraid there might be other researchers who were poisoned as well.

The sight of her still worrying about others when she was in that sickly state tugged at Jack’s heartstrings. “Dr. Galloway is already evacuating the premise. Don’t worry.”

After answering her, he grasped her wrist to check her condition.

Instinctively, Roxanne wanted to avoid the physical contact, but she did not even have the strength to lift her arm.

“Something is very off with this reaction. This poisonous gas shouldn’t be present regardless of how erroneous our experiment had gone,” Jack elaborated to her while performing the examination.

Naturally, she was aware of that too. However, she did not have the energy to discuss that matter with him at that moment.

Soon, Colby, leading a group of researchers, came running out, leaving a few more experienced researchers to handle the emergency.

They surrounded Roxanne while engaging in a heated discussion.

“How’s Dr. Jarvis?”

“Shouldn’t this kind of dangerous experiment be performed in the designated laboratory? What happened today? How did this poisonous gas come to be?”

More questions ensued as everyone expressed their doubts.

The flow of air slowed down as more people gathered there.

Roxanne’s face grew paler. Even her coughing sound gradually turned diminished.
