Bound by Magic, Married by Fate novel Chapter 117

"What do you mean, you haven't decided on a name yet? Don't tell me the pill you fed me while we were underwater isn't even on the market," Lucius said.

Valerie smiled. "That pill was just a product from my lab that's under development."

Lucius didn't know how to describe what he was feeling at the moment.

He never thought that he'd become a lab rat for Valerie one day.

"What about the anti-inflammatory pill you gave me after that? Surely that's been approved by the state?"

Valerie countered, "Tell me, which anti-inflammatory pill on the market can make a bullet graze scab over within 24 hours?"

The more Lucius listened, the more shocked he became. "So, that anti-inflammatory pill was another semi-finished product from your lab?"

Seeing that Valerie didn't deny it, Lucius felt like his worldview was being destroyed.

He asked, "Is Darrell out of danger now?"

For once, Valerie showed some normal emotion. "You know that Darrell was on the brink of death?"

Lucius didn't hide it. "I only found out slightly before you did."

Compared to others who had been on the cruise ship, Darrell had always had a unique constitution.

The drug Caelus put in the food only caused a few hours of discomfort for the others, but Darrell had such a severe allergic reaction that he had to be hospitalized for treatment.

Lucius never expected the mastermind behind it all to actually send assassins to the hospital to silence Darrell.

He hadn't expected Valerie to be the one who would pull Darrell back from the edge of death, either.

As the car drove to Azure Bay, Valerie asked, "You weren't the one who tried to poison Darrell, right?"

Lucius raised a brow. "You're that sure it wasn't me?"

"Anyone with a brain wouldn't attempt an assassination during such a sensitive period."

"The conflict between us isn't nearly bad enough to concern life and death."
