Chapter 1711 Not Much Time
“You're Old Mr. Lomax?” Roxanne finally snapped out of her shock and compared the person in front of her with the picture taken in his younger days.
Peregrine nodded and asked caringly, “How's your body doing?”
Respectfully, she sat with a straightened back. “Thank you for asking. My body's doing fine right now. I'm sorry for greeting you in such an impertinent manner.”
Then she tried to leave the bed.
In response, Peregrine waved his hand. “It's fine. You're a patient. There's no need for you to mind your etiquette.”
He turned to Lucian. “How did Ms. Jarvis wake up? Did an expert create the antidote?”
Pressing on Roxanne's shoulder to make her sit on the bed, Lucian replied in a deep voice, “I successfully took some from Jack. However, the dosage I obtained wasn't enough to expel all traces of poison in her body. I'm afraid your help is still necessary, Old Mr. Lomax.”
Peregrine nodded. “Of course.”
Obviously, he was going to do his best to treat Roxanne. It was why he came, after all.
“Jonathan said you've already figured out some of the poison's composition. Is that true?” inquired Lucian somewhat impatiently.
As long as they knew what the poison was made of, it would be easy to synthesize an antidote.
Peregrine nodded and informed the two of his analysis.
Her tone grew more resolute and professional. “If you don't mind, can you tell me what you've discovered over the past few days? I'm running out of time.”
Upon seeing how fast she got into the groove, Peregrine nodded with delight as he became even more impressed by her. I must say, she's the only one who has seemed the most like a doctor over the past few days! Furthermore, even though she has been poisoned, she remains composed. Her future will be unbelievably bright!
Soon, the two began discussing the composition of the poison.
Occasionally, Jonathan would voice his opinion.
Meanwhile, Lucian could only listen to the conversation at the side. I should've found some time to learn a thing or two about medicine!
