You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1739

Chapter 1739: Is it that easy?

It was close to dawn.

Luther, using the same method as before, exchanged vehicles with Aaron midway and sent Aaron to the headquarters of the group. He himself drove to the Biochemical Institute.

When Luther arrived, it was already early morning, and the surroundings were unusually quiet. After going through layers of disinfection and protection, he arrived at the innermost bio-cultivation room where Orik and Jocelyn were located.

Orik and Jocelyn were both dedicated individuals, tirelessly helping Luther search for an antidote, often staying up until two or three in the morning.

So when Luther arrived, Orik and Jocelyn were still awake.

Orik looked at Luther in surprise, "Mr. Warner, why did you suddenly come? Did something new happen to your condition?"

"Well, there may have been progress with the toxin," Luther nodded.

"Did you start bleeding again? Is it serious? Is there a lot of bleeding?" Jocelyn asked with concern.

Luther shook his head, "It's okay, not much. But I feel more fatigued than before. In the past, I could stay awake for days and nights, but now it's difficult. Sometimes I even take short naps during the day. You mentioned that the inhibitor you injected would prevent further bleeding in the short term, unless there's an explosive growth of microorganisms in my body, or unless they have developed resistance in advance."

Jocelyn nodded, "In theory, that's correct."

"We'll have to wait for another blood test to know for sure," Orik signaled to Jocelyn and instructed, "Go quickly and get a syringe."

Jocelyn quickly turned around to fetch it and returned shortly, holding the tools for drawing blood. "Mr. Warner, please bear with me. I'll perform a quick analysis for you, and we should have the results in about half an hour."

Luther extended his arm and let Jocelyn draw a few vials of blood.

As he watched the dark red blood slowly flow, his eyes gradually deepened. He knew his body, and he knew that changes were occurring. His condition was worsening.

After Jocelyn finished drawing blood, she took the vials containing the blood and walked over to a large microbial analysis instrument, starting the operation.

Meanwhile, Luther handed Orik something wrapped in a napkin.

Orik opened the napkin and saw that it contained some powder. He looked puzzled and asked, "What is this?"

"This is the antidote. Among the five pills, I crushed two of them, but I kept some of the powder. Analyze it and see if it gives any clues. Although you have suspected that the antidote is unstable and may not completely detoxify when taken, you can still refer to its ingredients for inspiration," Luther explained.

By destroying the antidote in front of Athena, he had actually kept a portion of it hidden between his fingers. This way, Athena wouldn't suspect anything, and it also severed her control over him through the use of the antidote.

Orik's eyes lit up, "Yes, that's right. We've been screening microorganisms recently and have narrowed down the scope. With the help of these powder ingredients, we might be able to accelerate the progress."

Luther nodded.

Carefully, Orik poured the powdered antidote into a container and sealed it with a film. He didn't ask Luther how he obtained the antidote, as it wasn't important. What mattered was to detoxify Luther's body as soon as possible.

Jocelyn focused on analyzing Luther's blood.

Time ticked away.

Half an hour quickly passed.
