Madilyn turned to glance in the direction of the ward while struggling to steady her tearful voice. “It was just hardening of the blood vessels at first, but the effect of the treatment these few days has been little to none. Now, several blood spots have appeared...”
A look of shock and distress filled his eyes when he heard that. He pulled her hand away and strode into the ward.
Inside the room, a group of specialists had gathered around Roxanne. They wore expressions of helplessness and pity.
“How is she?” Lucian asked coldly.
The specialists bowed their heads, not knowing how to respond. They were afraid of incurring Lucian's wrath if they told the truth.
Having followed him into the room, Elektra felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the anger on his face. Nonetheless, she calmly reminded him, “Lucian, hurry up and give Ms. Jarvis the antidote.”
Everyone suddenly took notice of her presence, and their gazes shifted between her and Lucian as they wondered who she was.
Madilyn followed them into the room. She had noticed the woman while they were standing in the corridor but had been far too worried about Roxanne's condition to ask about her. However, after hearing the woman address Lucian as though they knew each other very well, she could not help feeling sorry for her best friend.
Madilyn's eyes flashed with hostility as she asked, “Who are you?”
Elektra was taken aback. Knowing that Madilyn had misunderstood, she smiled and replied, “Let's return to that question later. The most pressing matter now is to let Ms. Jarvis take the antidote.”
Antidote? Madilyn's expression stiffened, then turned into a look of distress. If Cayden has obtained the antidote, that means he has married another woman. I guess it must be her.
