Lucian pulled out his phone to call Roxanne. “I've arrived,” he reported.
Without thinking much, Roxanne rattled out the names of a bunch of medicinal herbs.
Lucian's expression grew increasingly grim as she talked.
I can understand her words and recognize some of the medicinal herbs. However, the rest eludes me.
Roxanne was in a hurry, so she belatedly realized that Lucian didn't know some of the medicinal herbs only after she rattled out their names.
When realization struck, she forced herself to calm down. Slowly, she ordered, “Ask Dr. Galloway to bring you to the warehouse.”
Lucian grunted in acquiescence and told Colby curtly, “The warehouse.”
He then looked away from Colby.
His indifference evoked a subtle frown from Colby. The latter then led Lucian into the warehouse.
“I'm here,” Lucian told Roxanne.
Roxanne's brows snapped together as she wondered how she could help Lucian gather the medicinal herbs she needed.
The researchers didn't expect that a layman would enter their warehouse to get the medicinal herbs when they arranged the herbs, so there were no visible labels on the shelves.
They were in the middle of a dilemma when Colby broke the silence in a gentle voice. “Are you here to get the medicinal herbs? If you don't mind, I can help you.”
The other two were surprised at his offer.
Roxanne promptly regained her senses and told Lucian to put her on speaker. “Thank you, Dr. Galloway.”
She told him the names of the medicinal herbs she needed quickly.
