Lucian nodded, which Cayden took as a sign to drive Peregrine to the research institute.

Only Roxanne and Lucian were left in the ward.

After Peregrine left, Roxanne spoke to Madilyn. “Old Mr. Lomax is heading there right now. Just follow his

instructions when he arrives.”

At the moment, the trio was speedily devouring the lunch Linda bought.

Upon hearing Roxanne's words, Madilyn nodded and inquired, “Are you doing all right, Roxanne?”

Even though it's only been a few hours, her face is already as pale as a sheet of paper. Not to mention how feeble

her voice sounds. Madilyn couldn't help but get worried, despite not being able to know her friend's latest status

through the screen.

Smiling, Roxanne assured, “Everything's fine. I'm still holding on. Nothing will happen to me.”

As she spoke, she grimaced due to the pain.

Spotting that, Madilyn became even more concerned but knew there was no point in speaking about it further.

What's most important right now is figuring out the antidote's composition, using it to deduce the poison's key

component, and developing the antidote.

With a heavy expression, she nodded. “I swear I won't let anything happen to you. I'll figure out the components

that make up the antidote!”

“Thanks for your help.” Roxanne beamed gratefully.

“I'm Archie's and Benny's godmother! Even if not for you, I'd still do it for them! If you keep acting courteous, I'm

going to be mad!” Madilyn intentionally pretended to be enraged to lighten the mood.

The moment she ended her sentence, smiles formed on their faces.

“Even if an antidote can't be synthesized in the end, I won't let anything happen to you,” stated Lucian resolutely.

He was preparing for the worst because Roxanne's deteriorating condition wasn't inspiring him to put all his hope in

her.

Hearing that, Roxanne met his eyes and assured softly but tenaciously, “I won't let you submit to someone else. I

will save myself today!”

The couple's conversation touched the people in the laboratory.

Lucian doesn't seem like someone who has ever conceded, considering his status. Yet, Jack managed to push him

to this state. It's obvious how much he loves Roxanne. It's hard not to feel pity for the two. They didn't do anything

wrong. Roxanne was only poisoned because someone else was jealous of her talents.

Calmly, Lucian uttered, “I don't care about that. I'll find a way to get back at him even if I surrender. I only want you

to stay by my side.”

Roxanne was moved and began to relent. Indeed, that's such a minor issue now when I may lose my life soon. As

long as I can keep on living, we'll find a way to get our revenge.

Peering apologetically at him, she speculated, “Well, I don't think he'll forgive you easily if you meet him again after

what happened.”

He hugged her comfortingly. “It doesn't matter what he wants me to do. As long as I can save you, I'll do it. Nothing

is more important than your life.”

Laying in his embrace, she eased up. “That'll be our only option if things come to that. However, it hasn't come to

that point yet. We still have hope.”
