Female Novel
Chapter 1644 He Should Have Done So
The hostility from Yves gradually lessened when Rosalie's situation was described.
"The experts I hired guessed that Xander was probably using a certain kind of herb, but they had noclue as to what exactly it was."
Byron spoke in a hushed voice.
Yves noted the details. "You went and asked Xander about it?"
Otherwise, there was no way he would know so many details.
Byron nodded.
Yves sneered. "If I’m guessing right, Xander did not agree to cure Dr. Jacobs. He must have offeredsome kind of condition that you can't accept, and you are not willing to pay for Dr. Jacobs. That's whyyou thought of me."
As he spoke, Yves leaned back in his chair behind him. "If your love for Dr. Jacobs is nothing morethan that, I believe there is no need for me to help you. Mr. Lawrence, you should know that we arelove rivals."
Byron's eyebrows were locked. "If he had made an offer, I would have agreed to it, but Xander isintentionally stalling for time, and I can't wait any longer!"
The implication was that Xander was not even offering conditions, but just leaving him hanging.
Yves raised his eyebrows before finally sitting upright again, his tone disdainful. "He's a pretender, ofcourse, you can't count on him!"
After saying that, he focused his gaze and fell into deep thought.
"Even though the drug was administered through inhalation, Xander, who was in the same room withDr. Jacobs, was fine. He must have used the antidote for himself, and the antidote must have a certaintime limit. Otherwise, if he inhaled it for extended periods, he would have been affected by the drug aswell."
This speculation was largely in line with the experts' and researchers' guesses, but with a few moredetails than they had.
Byron now believed Linda's claim that Yves was more proficient at this.
Yves quickly fell into his own thoughts, mumbling the names of several herbs, wondering whether theywere the antidote. Seconds later, however, he would reject each possibility.
Byron had no knowledge of this field and could only wait impatiently for his results.
He could not tell how much time passed, but Yves finally spoke with an ugly expression, "There arehundreds of herbs used for medicine, and if you're not careful, you might choose two herbs thatcounteract each other, so I need to be very careful. For now, I really can't pinpoint one."
Byron's face gradually became grave.
Yves added, "But since Xander has something he wants in exchange, the medicinal effects of the herbsmust not be very strong, and nothing should happen to Dr. Jacobs within a short period of time."
With his knowledge of Xander and the herbs, Yves still had a few things he was sure of. "Give me twodays. After two days, you can come back to me."
Two days...
Byron could not wait much longer.
At the moment, however, there was no other way but to agree.
"I know, then I'll have to trouble you with that."
He thanked Yves in a deep voice.
Yves nodded, with a hint of thoughtfulness under his eyes.
When Byron was about to get up and leave, Yves suddenly called out to him. "Mr. Lawrence."
Byron paused slightly and turned back to look at him. "What else do you need, Dr. Graham?"
Yves sized him up, his gaze lingering on his face for a long time.
He had done something outrageous to Rosalie before, and he still remembered Byron's angry look atthat time.
He thought that when he saw him again, Byron would be disgusted with him to the core.novelbin
Byron may commend his willingness to help, but this was what should be expected of him in the firstplace.
He never thought that Byron would be so polite.
It came as a surprise to him.
