Female Novel
Chapter 1970
Amur did not know of any doctors. He would not be able to help out regarding this issue.
"Alright. Then, please be careful along the way," he said.
Luca wore her coat and reminded, "Oh right, keep the research lab for now. I'll inform the owner that Iwon't be renting it anymore after one month."
"You still want to continue researching?" Amur asked.
"Yes." Luca nodded. The composition of the antidote had yet to be fully analyzed.
It had been quite some time and she had yet to fully analyze it. Apart from the reason being that theequipment she had was not advanced enough, there was another reason. The composition of theantidote was very complicated.
She would need the help of advanced equipment.
"Alright. You can hold on to the access card. I'll get it from you on the last day," said Amur. One monthlater when they decided to stop renting the lab, the access card would have to be returned to the ownerof the research lab.
"Alright." Luca carried her bag and left the scene.
She drove her way to the hospital, and when she was about to reach the hospital, she contactedJohann.
Johann was still in the hospital and had not finished his shift. He immediately agreed when he got toknow that Luca wanted Amphotericin B. He promised that he would prepare it for her.
After hanging up the call, he used his status to prescribe the medication and had the pharmacist sendhim a bottle of Amphotericin B.
The pharmacy was quick to take action. Before Luca arrived, the nurse at the dispensary had alreadysent Johann the Amphotericin B that she needed.
"Thanks." After Johann received it, he closed the office door.
He called Luke.
"What's up?" Luke's tone did not sound good.
Johann was thrilled. 'Is Luca giving him the cold shoulder? He's speaking in such a defeated tone...'
"Your lady has come looking for me," he purposely said so to trigger him.
Luke's tone immediately turned cold. "Why did she look for you?"
“Of course, it's because she needs my help. You, as a boss of a corporation, can't even help her outwith such a small task?" Johann seized all chances to tease him and take revenge for past grudges.
"Why are you blabbering so much nonsense? Are you too free at work?" Luke wanted to know whatfavor Luca had asked from Johann, but the more anxious he was, the more Johann would keep him ontenterhooks. Hence, he could only pretend that he was not bothered.
"Wow, you're even putting on an act as though you're not concerned about it. Even though I can't seeyour expression right now, I know that you're very nervous," Johann teased him and added, "I won'ttease you anymore. She asked me to prescribe her a bottle of Amphotericin B."
"What's that..." Luke was clueless about it.
"You don't know anything, yet you dare become the boss of Watson Pharmaceuticals? Aren't you afraidthat your employees will turn their backs on you?" Johann shook his head helplessly. As the boss ofWatson Pharmaceuticals, it was very important to learn how to manage it. He should at least havesome knowledge about these kinds of things, no?
Luke clenched his fists and wanted to just push Johann against the wall to beat him up. "Are you sureyou want to beat about the bush at this moment?"
"Alright, alright. I'll stop. It's an antibiotic, but it's not commonly used. Hence, you can't buy it in anypharmacy or online. Only hospitals can prescribe it. Not anyone in the hospital can simply prescribe itto anyone either. She did the right choice by looking for me," said Johann. He knew that Luca had vastknowledge of medicine. Naturally, she would have her reasons for needing it. Hence, he did not furtherquestion her and simply agreed with her request.
If Luca owed him a favor, it also meant that Luke would owe him a favor. In the future, whenever heneeded a favor from Luca, she would not be able to reject it. At the same time, Luke would owe him afavor as well.
It was like killing two birds with a stone.
"What does she want to do with the antibiotic?" It was Luke's first time hearing of such an antibiotic.
"She's your woman. If you don't know, how would I know?" Johann let out a smile, his teeth sparklingand white. If Luke could see his current expression, Johann would definitely be beaten up.
At that moment, he looked very arrogant.
"I'm not too sure. She recently rented a research lab. I don't know what's she up to," said Luke. Eversince he knew that Luca had rented a research lab, he got someone to investigate the identity of theowner of that research lab. He received some information from the owner.
The research lab was rented under Amur's name.
The duration of the rental was just one month.
As for what experiment was ongoing, the owner was clueless.
"It seems like it's related to the research she's been doing recently. Don't worry, I'll try to get someinformation from her. If I do get something, remember to treat me to a drink." Johann seized theopportunity to extort Luke.
"If you manage to do so, I'll gift you an entire wine rack. It's no problem at all," Luke said.
Luca's location was not kept a secret, but her research was mysterious. He believed that even ifJohann were to step in, he would not get any information as well.
There was a knock on Johann's office door, and he guessed that it was Luca. He said to Luke, whowas on the other end of the call, "Deal. Wait for my good news."
He did not end the call and just turned off the screen before placing it on the office table. "Come in."
Luca pushed the door opened and asked, "Good evening, Dr. Park. Have you had dinner?"
"I was about to. Come in, Luca. This is what you need." Johann passed her the plastic bag thatcontained Amphotericin B.
Luca received it and took a glance at it. It was indeed what she wanted. "Thanks, Dr. Park. When I'mfree, I'll treat you to a meal."
"You don't have to." Johann smiled while shaking his head. He only wanted the bottles of wine Lukehad promised him.
"Then, how much does it cost?" Luca asked. Even though Johann bought it using his identity as adoctor, he would still have to pay for it.
"You don't have to pay me anything. Doctors have a quota. But I just have a question." Johann lookedat the phone, then at Luca.
"What do you want to ask?" Luca placed the plastic bag down with much caution as the antibiotic wassomething that could save her life.novelbin
"Why do you need this antibiotic?" Johann asked. "This antibiotic is rarely used. A usual infection wouldonly need penicillin or cephalosporin to treat it, but you..."
"It's the right medicine." Luca smiled and did not say anymore.
Johann knew that she was not willing to elaborate and asked, "Are you sick?"
Luca put her guard up and was not willing to tell him the truth. "It's not me but a friend of mine."
"So, it's your friend. Oh right, if this antibiotic is not strong enough, just let me know," said Johannwarmly. He still wanted to get more information from her.
However, she was still not willing to say anything. "Alright. Thanks, Dr. Park. I'll not delay your work. I'llmake my move now."
"Alright." Johann did not want to make her stay any longer either. If he asked more questions, shewould be suspicious.
If she needed Amphotericin B again, she might choose another path to obtain it and would not chooseto ask him for help again.
Luca left and closed the office door.
Johann picked up the phone and said, "You heard it? Her friend needs it."
"I heard it." Luke's eyes gleamed darkly. She claimed it was her friend who needed it, but she only hada few friends in City A.
