NovelStartChapter 1643 Hypocrite “It's been a while, Dr. Galloway.” Lucian came in from the door, looking down at him from above.
Colby's expression changed suddenly. He looked at the door grimly when Lucian walked in.
“Lucian Farwell!” Colby glared at Lucian. “Why are you here? Did you come here to gloat? Don't think that just because Dr. Jarvis doesn't like me that she will be together with you! Deep down, you're nothing but trash to her!” Colby had stopped having any access to information the day he went to prison.
Back then, Roxanne was still in conflict with Lucian.
Colby merely thought that Roxanne held a grudge because of what happened six years ago.

Colby's hands and feet were in cuffs. He was trapped behind the table, unable to move.
All he could do was glare daggers at Lucian from where he sat.
“If not for you, | wouldn't have ended up here! Yet, you still have the audacity to show up before me?” Lucian frowned slightly, quite upset at what Colby said. However, he thought of the purpose behind his visit and chose to keep his anger in check.
“Dr. Galloway, there's no need for you to be so angry. I'm not here to laugh at you, nor am | here to pick a fight.” Lucian fixed his gaze pointedly at the man in front of him, trying to gauge the latter's trustworthiness.
Colby met Lucian's gaze and gradually furrowed his brows. His heart was filled with doubt.
Apart from that prior incident, Colby could not think of anything that could link him to Lucian.
After a long time, Lucian finally spoke once more. “Something happened to Roxanne.” Those words hit Colby like a bolt of lightning.
“What did you say?” His eyes were full of disbelief, and his face was contorted. “Was it you? You couldn't have her, and then you...” Even though he had committed an atrocity toward Roxanne, it was merely an accident. In fact, he never intended for it to happen.
Besides, he would never allow anyone to hurt Roxanne.
When Lucian saw Colby's reaction, he decided to let his guard down a little. “If it were me, | wouldn't be here right now,” said Lucian solemnly.
Colby went quiet for a while, contemplating the situation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVery quickly, he arrived at a conclusion. “Was it Jack?” Apart from Jack, Colby could think of nobody else.
He deduced that Jack must have used traditional medicine on Roxanne.
Otherwise, why else would Lucian even think of coming to see him? “I said this ages ago. He's not a good person, and you should keep Dr. Jarvis away from him! That man is a hypocrite! | could smell him from a mile away! His intentions toward Dr. Jarvis are far from innocent!” exclaimed Colby in a rage. “What did he do to Dr. Jarvis?” Colby's obvious concern for Roxanne made Lucian feel very displeased. He was unhappy that this came from another man.
However, the thought of Roxanne lying helplessly on the hospital bed forced Lucian to suppress his anger.
The irony was that Lucian did consider himself quite lucky.
Since Colby reacted so strongly, it shows that he still cares about Roxanne. That also means he'll do his best to treat her! At the thought of this, Lucian recounted the story of Roxanne's drugging to Colby.
“Jack drugged her by burning a herb and letting her inhale it. The drug took effect last evening, and Roxanne has been unconscious ever since.”
