The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1628

Chapter 1628 When Was She Poisoned

“Mr. Farwell, what happened to Dr. Jarvis?” Linda strode to the hospital bed, ignoring the tension swirling around Lucian.

His head swiveled to look at her, and when he recognized that she was Roxanne’s assistant, he reined in his temper.

“Have someone from the research institute treat her.”

Linda didn’t waste any time and promptly instructed a few researchers to treat Roxanne.

They were all competent in medicine and were more cautious once Lucian told them to investigate in the direction of a poisoning.

If that were true, the poisoning appeared to be critical, judging from Roxanne’s pallor.

There was no telling what would happen if they dallied.

Everyone admired and respected Roxanne after the drug pricing incident and didn’t want such an unfortunate mishap to happen to a great doctor.

Furthermore, she had led the research institute to notable success after returning to the country.

They performed another pulse check and found no conclusive results.

However, the paleness of Roxanne’s face indicated something was wrong.

“We’re sorry, Mr. Farwell, but we have no idea what’s going on with Dr. Jarvis,” one of the senior researchers apologized regretfully. “Dr. Jarvis’ pulse doesn’t appear any different from that of a normal person, but her complexion says otherwise.”

Lucian gave him a cold look. “No sh*t, Sherlock! Would I summon you all if she were fine? Bunch of…”

He swallowed the words “useless garbage” that had almost left his mouth.

No matter what, they were Roxanne’s co-workers at the research institute, and he still had to show them some level of decency.

“We’ll discuss further among ourselves,” one of them responded gruffly.
