"You're Old Mr. Lomax?” Roxanne finally snapped out of her shock and compared the person in front of her with the picture takenin his younger days.

Peregrine nodded and asked caringly, "How's your body doing?”

Respectfully, she sat with a straightened back. “Thank you for asking. My body's doing fine right now. nov.elxo I'm sorry forgreeting you in such an impertinent manner.”

Then she tried to leave the bed.

In response, Peregrine waved his hand. “It's fine. You're a patient. There's no need for you to mind your etiquette.”

He turned to Lucian. “How did Ms. Jarvis wake up? Did an expert create the antidote?”

Pressing on Roxanne's shoulder to make her sit on the bed, Lucian replied in a deep voice, “I successfully took some from Jack.

However, the dosage | obtained wasn't enough to expel all traces of poison in her body. I'm afraid your help is stillnecessary,nov.elxo Old Mr.

Lomax.”

Peregrine nodded. “Of course.”

Obviously, he was going to do his best to treat Roxanne. It was why he came, after all.

“Jonathan said you've already figured out some of the poison's composition. Is that true?” inquired Lucian somewhat impatiently.As long as they knew what the poison was made of, it would be easy to synthesize an antidote.

Peregrine nodded and informed the two of his analysis.

Since Lucian knew nothing about medicine, he could only guess that the medicinal herbs Peregrine listed were rare.

As Roxanne listened to Peregrine, a look of awe settled in her eyes.

When the old man finished speaking, she couldn't help but exclaim with admiration, “You really do live up to your title asMerania's King of Medicine! nov.elxo While these medicinal herbs aren't particularly rare, people seldom use them because theyare often ignored. | think only you could've thought of them, Old Mr. Lomax!”

If he hadn't mentioned the names of those herbs, she would've forgotten that some of them even existed.Peregrine shook his head. “Don't celebrate yet. This is only one part of the solution. If we want to develop the antidote, we mustreplace all the medicinal herbs.”

| believe the rest of the medicinal herbs are recorded in the Damaris family's ancient medicine books, but even | have no cluewhat they are. Staring at Roxanne with anticipation, he said, “I recall you are Harvey's student. In that case, your medicinal skillsshould be topnotch. Since you've woken up, you can help me devise a solution together.”

Roxanne felt a little embarrassed to be praised by him. “I'm just an amateur compared to you. However, since it concerns my lifeand death, of course, I'll do my best.”

Her tone grew more resolute and professional. nov.elxo “If you don't mind, can you tell me what you've discovered over the pastfew days? I'm running out of time.”

Upon seeing how fast she got into the groove, Peregrine nodded with delight as he became even more impressed by her. | mustsay, she's the only one who has seemed the most like a doctor over the past few days! Furthermore, even though she has beenpoisoned, she remains composed. Her future will be unbelievably bright!

Soon, the two began discussing the composition of the poison.Occasionally, nov.elxo Jonathan would voice his opinion.

Meanwhile, Lucian could only listen to the conversation at the side. | should've found some time to learn a thing or two aboutmedicine!
