The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1982

Chapter 1982 Do You Still Not Believe It

"Christina, drop the act! I'm going to take care of my husband's infection. You've already been infected, and you're on your own now!”

At first, Roxanne was reluctant to speak out, but then she came to the realization that Christina was still intent on threatening Lucian even though she would be meeting her doom soon.

Her eyes conveyed a look of compassion as she reminded Christina of the situation.

What a foolish woman!

In spite of the dire circumstances, Christina still managed to show a coy, contemptuous grin and firmly shook her head. “No way. You may be skilled, but you can't expect to develop a vaccine in such a short amount of time. If you want to make it out of this alive, you'll have to use me as a bargaining chip to get the vaccine from Mr. Goldstein.”

Madilyn couldn't hold it in any longer. She snorted icily and declared, “Ha! I knew you wouldn't believe it. I mean, look at us. We're both perfectly calm, aren't we? You should really think carefully before jumping to any conclusions.”

Christina was taken aback to hear that. She quickly raked her gaze over the three of them.

Shaking her head profusely, she insisted, “No, that's impossible.

There's no way you could've done that! Even if the vaccine is flown in from Moranta, it won't arrive in three hours. You're just trying to delay time!”

“Delay? “Do you honestly believe that I would permit someone else to dictate terms to me and direct the course of my life?" Lucian's voice was laced with icy contempt.

Christina refused to believe either Roxanne or Madilyn, but Lucian's words made her break down instantly.

Lucian exuded confidence, and he made sure that anything he said was achievable.

Roxanne is capable of creating a vaccine!

Astonishment struck her, and her heart was torn between a feeling of intense anger and an unwillingness to accept the situation.
