“We’ve captured Christina Patel!” Lucian announced casually. Roxanne was fully engrossed in her conversation with Peregrine, discussing the particulars of replicating the vaccine, when suddenly she stopped mid-sentence, realizing that she hadn’t heard what Lucian had said clearly.
Madilyn had heard his words, so she repeated, “Mr. Farwell said he has captured the culprit of this crisis, Christina Patel!”
“Old Mr. Lomax, if the problem is solved, please continue with the next step as soon as possible. We’re racing against time here. More than thirty people had been infected by this bacterium in the hospital!” After hanging up, Roxanne finally had time to digest Lucian’s words.
“Darling, did you anticipate Christina’s actions with your impressive display of foresight and crafted an intricately detailed plan to capture her?” Her awe of her husband was evidenced by the overly complimentary language she used in her expression of admiration.
Lucian’s face was tight with tension at first, but he felt a wave of embarrassment wash through him when he heard Roxanne’s compliments. “Where is she? I’d like to give her a few slaps!”
Madilyn felt her right arm trembling in anger. “She’ll be here soon. I’ve told my bodyguards to bring her here,” Lucian replied. He glanced at Roxanne, afraid that she would get emotional.
To his surprise, Roxanne seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief and had calmed down. “She has framed me countless times, and I’m finally getting to see her today,” she said calmly.
Madilyn exclaimed furiously, “Roxanne, you must take action and ensure that this woman is punished for her immoral behavior. She should be sent to prison for the hurtful and malicious things she has done. It’s appalling that such a cruel person even exists in this world!”
Right then, the leader knocked on the door.
“Mr. Farwell, we’re here!”
“Come on in!” Lucian ordered. The door was pushed open to reveal an unconscious Christina. At first glance, one would know she had undergone plastic surgery.
It was apparent that there were not many options for plastic surgeries in Hawen as all patients appeared to look the same after undergoing plastic surgery.
However, Roxanne immediately recognized that this was Aubree due to her figure. After the bodyguards threw Christina unceremoniously to the ground, they straightened their backs, waiting for Lucian’s order.
“You may leave now!” Lucian waved his hands, and the bodyguards filed out swiftly. Madilyn raked her gaze over Christina and muttered angrily, “Why is she unconscious? Is she putting up an act? Let me get some water to splash on her!”
Without hesitation, she hurried out of her office to get some water. Roxanne felt a swell of conflicting emotions as she looked at Christina.
“Lucian, she has come into contact with us in this office. Thus, I believe she’ll get infected with the pathogenic bacteria soon,” she suddenly declared.
Lucian gave a curt nod. “That was what I had in mind. Besides, she won’t be receiving any treatment unless Mr. Goldstein has the vaccine with him at all times!”
His voice was calm, devoid of any emotion. Christina had devised multiple devious plots against Roxanne in an attempt to end her life, which made him unwilling to see her as Aubree anymore. Even if Lucian had not taken any steps to intervene, Christina would still be spending the remainder of her life behind bars.
“To be honest, I don’t think there’s a need to talk with her anymore. It’s pointless,” Roxanne said truthfully, as she was no longer interested in talking to Christina anymore.
