Dressed in her nines, Christina lifted the corners of her lips into a cold smirk. Observing the impatient look on Coralie’s face, Christina comforted, “Perhaps they couldn’t handle it, hence why they would get in touch with the Centers for Disease Control so quickly. But that doesn’t mean they’ll be able to handle it well!”
Lifting her gaze, Coralie seemingly regained her composure, and a hint of mischief crossed her eyes.
“Your trick is indeed incredible. It’s definitely much more brilliant than how you exploited Elektra previously. Roxanne and Lucian have been taken away, so I’m afraid they’ll both get infected. If they can’t handle it in time, your wish will come true too!”
Coralie grew a little despondent inside. I can’t believe Christina is actually the old Aubree. She was even in a short-lived romance with Shawn. If Shawn didn’t send her abroad back then, she wouldn’t have returned now either.
“Of course. I was right about Madilyn asking Roxanne over for help. So this method isn’t only for you, it’s to help me too. It’s a pity your brother isn’t willing to work with me back then. Worse still, he was reluctant to lend me a helping hand when I was in dire straits!” Deep inside, Christina was still a little resentful toward Shawn.
After all, he was the man she lost her virginity to. Coralie hastily tried to defend her brother, explaining that he had returned to the north back then, so it was very tough for him to head to Horington to help Christina.
“It’s all in the past. Those aren’t crucial anymore. The most important thing now is that I’m finally back. What’s more, I’ve brought Mr. Goldstein with me. If Lucian and Roxanne land in deep trouble this time, I’ll truly be very happy!”
A gleeful look fleeted across Christina’s face, but at the same time, she was also radiating a tinge of hostility.
“Yes, the plan this round is impeccable in every way! Even if Lucian tries to investigate it later, he won’t be able to find anything. That patient has requested to return to his country for treatment anyway. We merely swapped the information and had him choose Madilyn’s hospital instead!”
Since no one would find out, Coralie did not mind playing along. What’s important is that if this situation can spiral out of control, then Madilyn will get removed from her director’s position and, worse still, be liable for legal responsibilities. I’m afraid she won’t have the confidence to continue clinging to Jonathan when that happens. Perhaps by then, Jonathan would lose interest in her too!
With those thoughts in mind, Coralie was practically glowing with pride. I can finally inflict vengeance on Madilyn for causing me to transfer to another hospital then! Meanwhile, over at the hospital, Madilyn found a lead on the global forum in her office.
She told Roxanne about it at once. “A doctor issued a statement. Their situation is very similar to the bacteria we’re currently facing. Roxanne, come here quickly and verify this!”
By now, Roxanne had made countless overseas calls. Hearing those words, she immediately hung up and walked over to Madilyn to look at her laptop.
Lucian, too, followed over and glanced at the image on the laptop screen, then averted his gaze to the bacteria report chart on the table. Indeed, both looked the same.
“That’s it! This is the new bacterium that just spread out earlier this year in Alendor. There isn’t a name for it yet. A pharmaceutical company in Moranta is already developing drugs for targeted treatment. They previously sold a large quantity at a high price to Alendor. This new bacterium spreads through blood but can remain airborne for almost an hour, so it’s transmissible through the air too. It mainly attacks human’s vital organs, causing organ failure and ultimately death.”
Roxanne rapidly read through the Ustranasion information the doctor issued, then explained it to Madilyn. After all, Madilyn was not good in Ustranasion.
However, Roxanne’s brows knitted together toward the end. “There’s a company in Hawen that received patent licensing from Moranta. That’s the fastest way to acquire the medication. Otherwise, the bacteria will mutate rapidly and multiply in large quantities after six hours. So, the only way is to get the medication from Hawen as soon as possible. That’s what the doctor said.”
