Chapter 328
After Lea changed her clothes and entered the laboratory, Trenton and Charles showed her the antidote for Yannis.
After they dropped the antidote into Yannis’s blood sample, the medicine took effect in about half an hour.
All the data results were displayed on the screen of the supercomputer.
Trenton announced, “The antidote is effective, but its effects are still less than ideal.” As he spoke, he looked at Lea with anticipation.
She had provided him with the inspiration for almost all of his experiments. In fact, he was able to develop the antidote so quickly because she had sent him some pointers over an email when she was on leave.
Charles approached the screen and pointed at the data on it. “Look. There’s an obvious decrease in the concentration of these compounds in Yannis’s blood today. Moreover, they have been gradually decreasing recently.”
His finger pointed down the curve. “In other words, his body is also purifying the gene drugs.”
Lea and Trenton nodded.
“The human immune system can develop immunity against all drugs and viruses. Yannis’s physique is very strong, and his immunity is also stronger than that of ordinary people,” Lea explained.
Part of the reason Yannis was so strong was that he had used the new medicine Lea gave him to strengthen his physique when he was injured. Even as one of the doctors, Lorrand did not notice
this.
Lea deliberately did not want to reveal this point for the time being.
Lea continued, “Gene drugs are a kind of medicine. Only by regularly injecting it for a long period can the medicinal effects be maintained. Yannis has not injected much into his body, and he hasn’t injected anymore recently, so the medicinal effects will automatically
Gene drugs were very expensive to begin with. Those people could only use so much on Yannis.
Trenton and Charles heaved a sigh of relief.
It was good news. At least Yannis’s life was no longer in danger.
wear off.”
“Look at the changes in these medicinal compounds.” Lea pointed at the linear diagram on the big screen. “Their concentrations haven’t changed much, and the side effects are also caused by them.”
Trenton’s eyes lit up. “So, all we need to do now is to eliminate these compounds!”
The antidote would then be a success.
“That’s right!” Charles cheered.
“Alright. Let’s continue with the experiments.” Trenton wanted to get back to experimenting as soon as possible.
Once this antidote was developed, not only could it be used by Yannis, but it could also treat other strange and complicated illnesses. It could even be combined with other medicines to treat major illnesses.
Lea calmly pursed her lips and did not say anything else.
The reason why she was able to discover this was that, in her previous life, she had developed a gene drug that had no side effects. Therefore, she knew where the problem was.
With such knowledge, it was easy to develop an antidote for gene drugs.
Lea feigned ignorance. Trenton and Charles also did not notice anything amiss. From their perspective, this was the result of their joint research.
“Charles, you head back to the lab first. I have to administer a drug to Joey. I’ll be back in a bit,” Trenton said,
“Alright,” replied Charles as he entered the inner laboratory.
“I’ll go with you,” Lea said to Trenton.
Trenton agreed and said, “It would be good for you to come take a look.”
The two of them entered the medicine storage room. Trenton put on a new pair of gloves and took out the medicine from the freezer.
“Miss Berry, this is the last vial. Joey-”
10:17 AM
Lea interrupted Trenton and said, “Trenton, regarding Joey, I need your help.”
Stunned, he looked at her and understood why she had followed him here.
Lea stepped closer, lowered her voice, and told Trenton all her requests.
Trenton looked at her with a shocked and complicated expression. However, when he thought about how they and the hospital had been involved in such a shocking incident half a month ago, Trenton regained his composure and dealt with Lea’s requests calmly.
“Miss Berry, don’t worry. Your secret’s safe with me.”
She nodded. She trusted Trenton implicitly.
People like him had good morals and principles.
Lea instructed, “Also, don’t mass produce the antidotes Joey used for the time being. Just pretend that we haven’t developed them.”
“I understand.” Trenton nodded.
After taking the medicine, the two of them left the laboratory and headed to the ward.
Just as they arrived outside Joey’s ward, they heard Willow’s surprised voice. “Dad, Mom, Joey’s hand moved! He’s awake!”
Marcus and Sydney were stunned. They looked at each other and turned around.
Lorenzo, who was fiddling with fruits, trembled. An apple slipped out of his hand and rolled onto the table. He turned around and hurriedly went to the bed. He looked at Joey on the bed. Joey’s expression was normal and peaceful as if he had fallen asleep.
Lorenzo looked at Joey for a long time, before he slowly exhaled. He felt disappointed.
Joey had not woken up yet. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Marcus and Sydney also walked over and looked at Joey on the bed.
“Willow, Joey isn’t awake yet,” said Sydney. She reached out to touch Joey’s forehead and squeezed his hand.
“No… I saw Joey’s hand twitch just now.” Willow said hurriedly. She then grabbed Joey’s other hand and shook it. “Joey, wake up! Joey! Joey?”
Even though Willow shouted a few times, Joey did not move at all. The sparkle in Willow’s eyes slowly dimmed. She wondered if she was hallucinating just now.
“Don’t worry. He looks like he’s about to wake up. He should wake up soon.” Lorenzo comforted her and himself.
“Yes!” Hope reignited in Willow’s eyes. “I have a feeling that Joey will wake up in the next two days.”
Lorenzo’s eyes lit up as well.
Sydney glanced at Marcus again. There was a hint of worry and hesitation in her eyes, but she did not let the two children see it.
Knock. Trenton knocked on the door.
Marcus, who was closest to the door, turned around and opened it. He greeted, “Dr. Wilson, Miss Berry.”
The two of them entered the ward and closed the door.
“I’ll be administering this drug to Joey.” Trenton wanted to say that this vial was the last one, but after hearing Lea’s
“Yes, thank you, Dr. Wilson,” Marcus said gratefully.
“After injecting this medicine, Joey will wake up!” Willow said happily.
requests, he did not mention it.
Lea looked at Willow and Lorenzo. They were standing by the bed. Willow was wearing an orange sweater. Due to having to enter the laboratory to work, her hair was tied into a bun, making her look bright and cute.
Lorenzo had changed out of his military uniform. He was wearing a black sweater and black pants. Despite dressing cool and distant, an aura of gentleness and warmth emanated from him while he was with his family.
Lorenzo was also checking Lea out.
He took time out of his busy schedule to come here. On one hand, he wanted to see Joey, and on the other hand, he wanted to see Lea.
“Wow! Lea!” Willow ran over and hugged Lea’s arm. “You look so beautiful in a white coat. You look exactly like an angel.”
10:17 AM
Before entering the laboratory, Lea had removed the light makeup she had put on in the morning. Her skin was flawless. Her eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting, and her hair was tied into a high ponytail. Her aura was domineering and powerful, faintly emitting valor and beauty.
Willow exclaimed, “You’re amazing. I wouldn’t have believed it if you hadn’t said you were a doctor.” She wasn’t the only one. A lot of people couldn’t believe Lea was a doctor.
However, Marcus and Sydney knew very well that Lea was an excellent doctor.
Lorenzo also knew this because Lea had told him about it during orientation.
