Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 1267

Colby watched Lucian's actions intently, his breathing catching for a second.

Despite knowing that it wasn't the bottle of medicine from that day since he had personally replaced it with the bottle of distilled water, he still couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat.

He actually realized that someone had used that bottle of medicine! D*mn it! I didn't even notice that tiny detail!

“Dr. Galloway, I can add this in, right?”

Without warning, Lucian turned and looked at him.

Colby's pupils constricted. He dug his nails into his palms to force himself to remain calm. “Of course. It's only going to dilute the solution. Perhaps Mr. Damaris added it that day, but we didn't notice it.”

While saying that, he took a step back to make room for the man.

Inclining his head, Lucian walked over and occupied the freed space. Uncorking the bottle, he slowly poured the liquid inside into the flask.

At the same time, a pill slipped out of his hand, which was in Colby's blind spot. After falling into the bottle, it dissolved upon contact with water, blending with the colorless and odorless distilled water before mixing with the liquid in the flask.

“All done.”

He corked the bottle back and moved away. “Let's observe for a while longer and see whether there's any unusual reaction. Maybe it was a problem with the distilled water.”

Colby couldn't shake off the feeling that something was amiss. Nonetheless, he steeled himself and returned to his place at the counter. His entire body tense, he stared at the flask that was still in the midst of reacting.

Shortly after, the same gas as that day gradually filled the flask.

For a moment, Colby's breath caught. He gaped at the gas in the flask before glancing at the distilled water at the side, his eyes brimming with disbelief.

How could this be? I personally placed the distilled water there. How could there be gas? Could it be that... someone switched the liquid inside?

As panic inundated him, Lucian's voice split the air hauntingly. “Does this bottle really contain distilled water, Dr. Galloway?”
