Chapter 1058 Imprisoned

He was truly devastated, and it was evident to almost everyone that he was upset. Zoe finally could not hold her tears and approached the sickbed.

“Dad, it was Alice's daughter, Ashlyn, who saved you. Maybe Alice's spirit was watching over you from heaven. That's why she sent Ashlyn to rescue you.” As Zoe spoke, she eventually broke down in tears, unable to continue.

Zoe finally knew why Ashlyn looked so familiar to her. She held the latter's hands and said, “Back when I was in high school in Lake City, Fae and I were best friends with your mother. Later on, we all went our separate ways and lost touch. Especially after we heard Alice was suddenly kicked out of the Chapman family, we never saw her again.” The thought of her childhood friend's passing made Zoe's heart ached as if a knife was piercing it. “Fae has always been residing in Lake City. Does she know what happened to Alice?”

“Fae... Are you referring to James Field's wife?” Ashlyn was taken aback. She never expected Fae and Alice were actually good friends.

“Yes.” Zoe nodded.

“She probably doesn't know.” Ashlyn felt her heart contracted, as she never expected Fae to be also a good friend of Alice.

Suddenly, Ashlyn recalled the chicken soup that Fae always cooked. She somehow felt it always had a touch of Alice. Fae once mentioned she learned to cook chicken soup from an old acquaintance.

So that's why! That old friend must be my mom. Fae has always known about my relationship with the Chapman family, but why did she never tell me that she and my mom had been good friends?

The astonishment was simply indescribable, but now was not the time for Ashlyn to think about those things. She had even more important things to tell.

“She's been having a tough time lately since James is imprisoned. Lucas and I are trying to find a way, as we believe he's innocent.”

“Imprisonment?” Zoe's expression suddenly became upset. She wiped her tears and said, “I'll ask around about this matter for you. Someone must be hiding something.”

“Fae is also a good child.” With the help of Trevor, Nelson sat up and told Finnick, “You... You go to the government office and find out what's going on. Help out if you can.”

“Yes, Dad.” Finnick quickly nodded, then reminded Lily to take good care of things there before leaving.

Ashlyn was not paying attention to Finnick. Instead, she took out a very delicate, transparent little porcelain bottle from her backpack. Inside, there were probably about twenty to thirty small black pills. Ashlyn handed it to Zoe.

“Give one to Old Mr. Oates to eat every day. It'll be extremely helpful to his medical condition.”

Zoe was stunned for a moment, “What is this?”

Chloe's expression completely changed. Chloe walked over in shock and snatched the small medicine bottle from Zoe's hand.

“Is this that wonder drug? The one that caused a huge controversy and attracted great attention internationally – Rulent 133?”

Others may not know, but she simply could not be unaware. All the doctors there were astounded upon hearing Rulent 133. Just a moment ago, they wondered what unbranded product Ashlyn gave Nelson

to eat and what side effects it might have.

Can this be eaten? Then, they heard Chloe's flabbergasted voice.

What is Rulent 133? They were all completely bewildered.

“Professor Yeatman, what do you mean by that? Is there anything special about this Rulent 133?” Lily asked curiously.

“Rulent 133 is worth a fortune. Rumor says that a single pill costs at least five hundred thousand and can regenerate dead cells. In other words, it has the ability to prolong one's life. That's why this medicine is very difficult to purchase, and I've also heard the production volume is extremely small. Probably only a handful of people worldwide can obtain so many pills at once.” Chloe looked at Ashlyn with a complicated expression. Her voice filled with envy and sternness.

“Where did you get so many pills? Did you do something illegal?”
