Chapter 1642 A Lesson
“That was a mere suggestion on my part,” said Linda hurriedly. “We also have other esteemed doctors in the research institute. I believe they will find a solution to this problem.”
Linda had been abroad then, but when she returned to the research institute, she had heard all the gossip about the things Colby had done to Roxanne.
The last time Roxanne was rendered unconscious, it was Colby's fault.
I don't think Mr. Farwell is going to trust this guy. How on earth could I have made that suggestion, of all things?
Linda nearly burst into tears over her own stupidity.
Just as her mind was racing over how to remedy the situation, she heard Lucian's solemn reply. “I understand.”
Linda was stunned.
He understands? What does he understand?
“Is there anything else?” asked Lucian coldly.
Linda quickly shook her head. “No. Please be at ease. I'm certain that plenty of other doctors are capable of doing what Dr. Galloway does. I'll liaise with experts from abroad and ask them to come up with something. Dr. Jarvis studied under Dr. Lambert, so we have a network to reach out to. I'm sure they will help!”
Lucian nodded in response. “I'll leave this to you, then. If they're able to help, I will be sure to reward you for your efforts when Roxanne recovers.”
“This is what I should do,” said Linda firmly.
After all, she had been working together with Roxanne since Roxanne went abroad.
To Linda, Roxanne was more than a leader. She saw Roxanne as a friend.
It was therefore fitting that she put some effort into Roxanne's care now that she was ill.
Lucian understood where Linda was coming from and thanked her again. “Regardless of what happens, I should thank you. If there's nothing else, I'll leave you to your work. I have other matters to attend to.”
With that, Lucian turned on his heel and left.
After leaving the research institute, he sat in the car and began tapping the steering wheel lightly with his fingers. His eyes were filled with hesitation.
Colby Galloway... According to Linda, if this man can truly distinguish the properties of medicinal herbs and can find a way to cure Roxanne, then maybe I should pay him a visit after all.
However, Colby had nearly caused Roxanne's death the last time.
When Lucian thought of this, his gaze quickly turned hostile. I don't know if I can hold back from tearing him to shreds with my bare hands if I see him again.
Lucian began to struggle with his hesitation and doubt.
After a certain amount of time, he finally managed to make up his mind. He slowly started the car and drove toward the prison on the outskirts of the city.
The most important thing now is for Roxanne to be cured. Even if it's only a small chance, I have to try!
The last time Roxanne went into a coma, she had been poisoned. Colby was sentenced to a year and a half in prison and was currently serving his sentence now.
Lucian called a friend on the way and asked them to arrange a meeting as soon as possible.
When he arrived at the entrance to the prison, there were already people waiting to receive him.
“Mr. Farwell, we've brought out Mr. Galloway. He's waiting for you in the meeting room.”
The prison warden seemed to be very respectful.
Lucian gave the man a slight nod. “I appreciate it.”
The pair stopped at the entrance of the meeting room.
Lucian glanced through the window. He could clearly see Colby sitting inside with his hair shaved down to an inch or so. Colby looked haggard as he sat in there listlessly.
Behind him was a prison warden standing not far from him.
I daresay that a few months in prison has definitely taught him a lesson.
After observing the situation in the room, Lucian strode in.
In the meeting room, Colby could feel nothing but suspicion in his heart.
He did not have friends or family.
Having been imprisoned for so long, no one had ever visited him.
Yet, he was suddenly ordered to meet someone without knowing what the meeting was for.
Roxanne's face flashed in the recesses of his mind.
He vehemently shut his eyes and opened them again. This time, the only thing he felt was self-loathing.
