The result of Lucian’s drug testing came out half an hour later. Fortunately for him, the drug worked really well and cured him of his cough completely. However, it left him feeling incredibly thirsty. and caused him to sweat profusely.
“Here, drink some water. The drug will stimulate your body’s immune system to work together and eliminate the virus,” Roxanne explained while handing him a bottle of water.
“Will it affect pregnant women?” Lucian asked, still worried about Roxanne. “No, it won’t. This drug will be absorbed into the intestinal walls and will be excreted within eight hours. It’ll be fine!” Roxanne reassured him as she took the pills herself.
Madilyn followed suit before excitedly distributing the rest of the pills among the doctors and nurses. Just like that, the sudden crisis outbreak that started in the morning was finally averted at one in the afternoon.
Jonathan approached the personnel from the Centers for Disease Control at the hospital entrance and updated them on the situation, prompting them to lift the restrictions on the hospital. Still worried about a certain individual, he then rushed back to the director’s office, only to see Lucian and Roxanne having a sweet moment together.
“Lucian, Roxanne, are you two okay? Where’s Madilyn?” he asked. Lucian and Roxanne smiled when they saw how anxious he looked. “Why do you ask? Are you worried about her?” Roxanne teased him. Jonathan let out an awkward chuckle. “I’m guessing she’s all right, then. That’s good to know…”
“What are you doing standing around here? Go help her out in the emergency ward!” Lucian urged him impatiently.
Jonathan nodded and ran out of the director’s office as quickly as his legs could carry. Meanwhile, Coralie was staring wide-eyed at everything that was going on inside the hospital from the building across from it.
Roxanne was able to produce the medicine so quickly, and Madilyn is all right as well. Not only did they manage to avert the crisis at the hospital, but they also got the police to come arrest Christina! Thank goodness I didn’t leave immediately, or I would’ve been caught by Lucian!
Shawn had a conflicted look in his eyes as he stood behind her.
Coralie turned around to face her brother. Wearing a complex expression, she said sheepishly, “Thanks for rushing over and informing me in time, Shawn. Had you arrived half an hour late, I would’ve gone downstairs and got caught red-handed by Lucian!”
“Give it up, Coralie. Jonathan doesn’t have feelings for you. If you continue down this path, you’ll end up just like Christina!” Shawn said softly. Coralie fell silent when she heard that. There was a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but she knew that Shawn was right.
“But I really like Jonathan!” Coralie protested. “No, Coralie. This is not the same. Remember how you always wanted my toys when we were little? Well, this is no different. What you want is to prove your excellence and charm, but Jonathan is not a prize. Stop going down this path before it’s too late!” Shawn retorted coldly.
Coralie fell silent and went into deep thought after hearing that. Later that evening, the police called Lucian and gave him a detailed explanation of Christina’s situation.
Apparently, the psychiatrists at the hospital examined her after she woke up and confirmed that she was suffering from severe mental illness and required long-term treatment.
As for her criminal activities, the police would continue to collect evidence and prosecute her accordingly. However, she would not be given a sentence until she recovered from her mental illness.
The police even thanked Roxanne for warning them that Christina could be infected with the new bacteria. Otherwise, many more could end up being infected because of her.
“Mr. Farwell, she has started to develop symptoms of the new bacterial infection. I heard that Ms. Jarvis has already produced a drug that could cure those who are infected. Can Christina be given treatment as well?” the police officer asked politely.
Lucian shifted his gaze toward Roxanne as he explained the situation to her. “Give it to her. It wouldn’t be punishment enough if she were to die just like this,” Roxanne replied coldly.
