Back in the Chimes' study, Camille was reading a medical book when there was a knock on the door.
Florence entered and asked, "Ms. Camille, when will our special medication be officially released?"
Camille looked up and was startled by Florence's appearance. She had high cheekbones and was already thin, but after not seeing her for half a month, she had become haggard with dark circles under her eyes. Her hair was noticeably thinner, making her look quite frightening.
"The medicine has been sent to the Food and Drug Administration Department for approval. Once approved, it will be marketed and sold to the public," Camille said, smiling.
Ever since Wilson announced the imminent release of the special medication, Chime Pharmaceutical's stock had skyrocketed.
Countless people went to the hospital and pharmaceutical company daily seeking the medication. Even Florence, who was on vacation, couldn't resist it. This showed the high expectations the special medication had.
"Ms. Camille, do you still have any samples of the special medication? Could you give me some?" Florence pleaded.
She had been feeling a little off lately. If she didn't take the special medication given by Camille for a day, she would feel extremely uncomfortable and couldn't even work properly. She had taken half a month off to rest, but it didn't alleviate her condition at all. She was constantly craving Camille's medication.
Seeing the plea in Florence's eyes, Camille opened a drawer and took out a bottle.
Then, she tossed the bottle to Florence, who caught it with excitement and exclaimed, "Thank you, Ms. Camille! Thank you!"
She immediately opened the bottle. Her hands trembled violently, perhaps from the excitement, causing the pills to scatter all over the floor. She quickly crouched to pick one up. She looked like a beggar who had finally gotten a meal after days of hunger.
Camille frowned at that and said, "You may go."
"Yes, yes," Florence said, sweeping up the remaining pills with both hands before hurrying out.
She almost collided with Julia, who was entering.
Julia was startled by Florence's appearance as well.
After walking into the study, she asked, "Camille, what happened to Florence? Is she on drugs?"
Hearing this, Camille frowned even more. Her thoughts seemed to have wandered off, and her gaze became unfocused.
