Chapter: 699
The room was in disarray from her search. She hadn’t given it a second thought until Holden’s inquiry
made her feel Like she had been caught in the act, similar to a burglar.
In her guilt, Ariana quickly reminded herself that this was her husband’s home. What reason was there
to feel guilty?
Besides, Theodore had intruded on her space several times while she was sleeping, so this could be
considered payback.
With this reassurance, Ariana instinctively straightened up and responded confidently: “I saw a friend
with it and was somewhat concerned, so I thought to ask.”
After hitting send, she feared he might refuse her, so she quickly added: “I heard it’s a product
developed in-house by Mercy Hospital, and I thought you might have some information.
This time, his response came almost immediately: “It’s merely a standard sedative used for treating
insomnia. It’s not available commercially due to the high research and development costs, making it
unsuitable for widespread use.”
A common sedative?
Ariana’s brow furrowed in confusion.
If it was just a regular sedative, why had Mitchel appeared so serious?
Through the screen, she could almost visualize the nonchalant expression on the face of the person
replying, as though they were discussing a completely different drug than the one Mitchel had
described.
Of course, Ariana had faith in Mitchel’s medical expertise, but as the CEO of BRD Group, Holden
should also have knowledge about this drug. He wouldn’t have any reason to deceive her, would he?
As these thoughts whirled in Ariana‘s mind, her initial reaction was that Holden might be misleading
her.
She cautiously inquired: “Does this drug have any side effects?”
Holden replied promptly: “None, provided it’s taken in the correct dosage.”
This response deepened Ariana’s frown.
Holden appeared well-versed with the drug, its effects, and even the dosage. Yet, his version drastically
contrasted Mitchel’s.
She distinctly remembered Mitchel stating that this medication could activate dormant health
conditions.novelbin
Could Mitchel’s assessment be incorrect?
Ariana paused for a moment before digging deeper: “However, a doctor friend of mine mentioned that a
certain component in this drug might lead to dependency and potentially trigger health issues.”
This time, there wasn’t an immediate reply from the other side.
After a bit, Holden responded: “It appears your friend’s medical expertise still requires some
refinement.”
The message was brimming with aggression.
Ariana was taken by surprise.
Her interactions with Holden had always left a positive impression, with him usually engaging with her
in a patient and gentle manner.
This was the first instance she encountered such confrontational words from him.
