Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2282

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

Luna, Joshua, and even Charles stared at Rosalyn with wide eyes.

Finally, Joshua was the first to regain his composure. "How...could Nikki have managed to get her hands on a drug you invented?"

Logically speaking, neither Rosalyn nor Charles had even known of Lucy being alive until the day before, so how could they know who Nikki was, much less allow Nikki to obtain a drug that Rosalyn formulated?

How could Nikki have gotten her hands on this?

"I used to have a friend..." Rosalyn sighed and began to explain, "This happened a long, long time ago, but one day, one of my doctor-friends got in touch with me and told me he had a patient who was so devastated about her husband's passing that she suffered a miscarriage.

"Even though this patient of his had adopted a child not long after, she was depressed for a long time and kept wanting to take her life.

"Besides that, at one point, her health began to deteriorate, so she became even more determined to kill herself because she didn't think her life was worth living anymore.

"There had been many occasions in the past when this woman begged my friend for help, hoping that he'd be able to give her some medications to help end her misery..." Rosalyn let out another sigh. "Thankfully, my friend was a good doctor and didn't prescribe her any dangerous or illicit drugs that would make her suicide attempt a success. However, he still could not talk this woman out of her plans, so he got in touch with me in hopes that I'd be able to help him formulate a drug that’ll put the drinker to sleep for a short period.

"He had been planning to lie to this woman, claiming that this drug was a poison that would kill her in seven days, thereby allowing her to get her things in order before she passed.

"At that time, my friend insisted to me that this woman wasn't a cold-hearted person. Instead, he just wanted to use this to make her realize how much her death would impact her children.

"He was even prepared to send this woman to the hospital as soon as she went into her coma, where she would be treated ;f*;PMU; allowed to rest. Because of this, he’d call her every day to check whether she had taken the drug or not, hut...in the end, this woman willingly gave up on her plans to commit suicide and never took the drug."
