Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 400

A little digging revealed the truth: Lauren had been buying some kind of drug from a private overseas medical research institute. After taking it, patients wracked with pain would regain their energy and spirits in a short time-the agony of cancer seemed to fade away.

But the drug was outrageously expensive. Each pill cost over a million dollars.

Lauren had bought it more than once. After taking the medication, her condition improved dramatically, and she'd even been discharged from the hospital.

Lately, she'd gone so far as to rent a new apartment and pick up a young club boy as a lover.

Rosita hired a private investigator to look into that research institute.

The detective came back with good news.

Internationally, the institute had long been blacklisted. Lauren's so-called miracle drug had already been exposed: while it could briefly restore a cancer patient's energy and dull their pain, the side effects were catastrophic. The drug would actually accelerate the spread of cancer cells, and every test subject who had participated in trials died suddenly within two months of taking it.

Two months?

Rosita did a quick calculation. Lauren had been taking the pills for about a month and a half.

That meant, in another two weeks, Lauren would be dead.

Rosita's mood lifted instantly.

If that was the case, she could finally focus on her own affairs without worry.

The next day-Monday-Rosita dressed carefully and arrived early at Irwin's school.
