The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1725

Chapter 1725 Gather The Medicinal Herbs

Lucian smiled grimly at the mention of Roxanne. “I'll just need your help to check that there are no mistakes with the medicinal herbs.”

Peregrine nodded and asked Linda for a pen. Then, he scribbled a few more medicinal herbs at the bottom. As he wrote, he clicked his tongue in admiration. “She's truly talented. What a genius! I can't believe she figured out that the antidote from Jack was only a medicine to delay the effects of the poison and even managed to work out an antidote based on that. Impressive!”

His words of praise for Roxanne did nothing to lift Madilyn's spirits. Even if she's a genius, she still didn't manage to escape from experiencing such pain.

Soon, Peregrine had finished tweaking the prescription.

Linda was so anxious that she stood up and suggested, “Since Archie isn't here yet, why don't I help prep some of the herbs first?”

“These medicinal herbs listed here aren't very common, so you must be careful. Make sure not to take the wrong ones,” Peregrine cautioned while handing her the prescription.

She hummed in acknowledgment. When she lowered her head and glanced at the prescription, however, she was somewhat dumbfounded.

I assumed Old Mr. Lomax meant that only a few aren't that common. This prescription contains over twenty medicinal herbs, but I never thought they'd all be rarely used herbs! Although I've worked at the research institute for some time, I've been handling more administrative matters for the most part. That's why I'm not very familiar with where each medicinal herb is stored, and the ones I do recall aren't even listed here.

Afraid that she would only create more of a mess for Roxanne, Linda had no choice but to abandon her good intentions and gloomily return the prescription to Peregrine. “I'm sorry, Old Mr. Lomax. Let's wait for Archie to get here first.”

Peregrine drew his brows together in confusion.

“Our research institute has hundreds of medicinal herbs. We had them sorted and categorized previously, but finding these twenty-old rare medicinal herbs is still a little difficult for me. Only Archie can remember where they are,” Linda explained.

The mention of Archie's name again piqued Peregrine's curiosity further. “Who's this Archie?”

Linda's eyes flitted to Lucian.
