The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1720

Chapter 1720 This Is Not An Antidote

Time ticked by slowly.

As the sky grew darker, more components of the antidote were known.

But alas, there was still no lead on the most crucial medicinal herb.

Roxanne's condition was worsening.

At noon, she could still sit up by herself. However, at that moment, she had to lean against Lucian to sit up. She had to clench her jaw all the time to prevent herself from groaning due to the severe pain.

“We're running out of time. I'm contacting Jack now!”

The sight of her in pain made Lucian feel extremely anxious.

Roxanne grabbed his wrist with great difficulty and said, “Let's wait a little longer. I can still hold on for a little while.”

We still have hope as long as we're not at a critical moment.

Holding on to the last hope, Peregrine tapped on the molecular formula on the screen and said, “Let's do another test. I want to find out what this is!”

Without wasting any time, Madilyn poured the liquid onto the apparatus and did another test.

Before the results were out, Peregrine suddenly came to a realization and said in a deep voice, “I got it! The key is not the medicinal herb. It's a chemical added during the manufacturing process!”

The altered molecular formula was exactly the result of the medicinal herbs mixed with chemicals.

Upon hearing that, Madilyn, too, came to her senses and said to Roxanne excitedly, “Roxanne, did you hear that? Old Mr. Lomax has figured out the key ingredient. We can start creating the antidote right away!”

Creating the antidote was a piece of cake as long as they knew what the key component of the poison was.

Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief and forced a smile. “That's great.”

Madilyn had been busy conducting tests the entire afternoon that she did not realize Roxanne's current condition.
