The more Lauren thinks about it,the more scared she gets.
She held back my raging emotions and concentrated on what method she could use to get back on them.Suddenly,her eyes swept a thing.
Its a white pill bottle.
It was sitting on the bedside table with a small half glass of water next to it.
It was obviously the same bottle of medicine that she had taken only last night.
The doctor was kind enough to tell her that the medicine was most effective with minimal side effects when he prescribed it,and her heart fluttered and frozen in place for a while before she stepped forward and picked up the bottle of medicine.
Her eyes swept over the name on it,and when she saw clearly that its name was hydroxychloroquine,her heart inexplicably stuttered.
She hurriedly fished out her phone and looked up information about this drug.
After seeing that it was used to control the clinical symptoms of malaria and had nothing to do with treating the eyes at all,but instead had the side effect of causing damage to the eyes and even causing blindness,her hand shook and her phone snapped to the ground.
David...
“Why did you give me this medicine?”
Her mind was flooded with countless horrible suspicions,she stumbled and picked up the phone and her first thought was to call her attending doctor.
She had to find out if he had prescribed it for her or not.
“Is there any effect of this medicine on my current condition that I dont know about?”
But when she thought of the fact that it was David who contacted him for almost a year,she was worried that David would know she called him.
Flipping through the phone,she thought about it and called her former boss.
Since the accident,she has been wallowing in depression and self-loathing for a long time.
Since she was discharged from the hospital,she has not contacted anyone other than David Colby and Mary Cortney.
As an orphan whose parents died,she always felt that David Colby was the only warmth she had in the city.
But now,this touch of warmth has turned into a nightmare.
When she woke up from the nightmare,she couldnt think of anyone to turn to except her former boss.
When she indulged in work to make money,her social circle is not so big.
Now away from society for too long,and by Mary Cortney followed every day.Although she went to buy cakes today for a few hours,she is really not sure if something would happen or not.She has only to come to the man who has always cooperated with her tacitly,the stable and righteous man.
When he answered,Lauren hesitantly said,“Is Mr.Petrovsky...free?Can you check something for me?”
She paused and added,“Something very urgent.”
After nearly a year without contact,Alex Petrovsky,receiving Lauren’s call,obviously was a little surprised.
There was silence for several seconds before he said,“Yes,to check what?”
It was very straightforward,without the slightest hesitation.
Lauren froze,and the apprehension of not being in touch for a long time and asking for a favor disappeared immediately.
She curved my lips in gratitude,and her mind instantly recalled the scene when they were fighting side by side,invincible in the workplace,taking down one project after another.
Alex Petrovsky,has always been a very trustworthy man.
In all the years of working together,he has never let her down.
After gathering her thoughts,Lauren simply told him about her regaining sight.
And then,she briefly told him about her current situation.
He listened quietly,his breathing was visibly cold and heavy for a few moments.
And then,without waiting for Lauren to ask him to do the next thing,he beat her to it,“I will go to the hospital and check that medicine for you.”
He actually guessed her intention.
Lauren’s eyes were a little stung,and she heard his unyielding tone:“Its still early,enough to find out the results today,just in case,Ill wait for you to contact me again.”
“Now,you need to find a way to avoid taking this drug again and start working on keeping evidence,and if you can,its best to create more of an environment for them to tell the truth.”
“Remember,dont be impulsive,calm down,face it calmly,and if you need anything,you can call me,and I will do my best to help you.”
He rambled on and on,just as he had once given her a mini-meeting.
Before hanging up the phone,he finally stopped.
After a pause,he said,“Lauren Smith,protect yourself.”
