Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Chapter 359 Ophelia

said, "Theo, I heard it was Kenneth's mother..."

Theo nodded and said, "Yes, that came later. Initially, the miracle drug was bought out in large quantities, with each dose selling for hundreds of thousands. Ordinary people couldn't afford it at all." Upon hearing this, Ophelia frowned.

It was just like when people said that the lives of those in the slums didn't matter much.

She said, "So no one controlled that?"

Theo smiled helplessly and waved his hand. "Who would have handled it? The system back then was incomplete, and ordinary people had no way to survive."

Ophelia suddenly recalled what the old man from the slums had said, and it seemed to make sense after all.

She said, "In that case, Mr. West is quite compassionate."

Theo snorted and turned to look out the window.

Ophelia was left puzzled by his snort.

Then she said, "And what happened next?"

Theo said, "That miracle drug could only take effect for a while, just allowing people to live a bit longer than usual. Later, Grace Lawrence, Kenneth's mother, appeared. Everyone in Dellanex knew her name.

"She spent a month discovering a solution. Then, over two weeks she extracted the antigen. Her only request was free vaccinations for everyone in Dellanex. It proved effective, with immunity developing within three months. "About six months later, Dellanex gradually returned to normal. People slowly forgot about the disaster, and it was forbidden to mention it. Anyone who did would be arrested. With this example set, no one dared to bring it up again." Ophelia finally understood why, whenever she tried to learn about that disaster, people would always show the same look on their faces. Now she knew the reason.

This approach was really tough.

Ophelia said, "So, it was after that when the slums started forming, right?"

The people in the Gloomhaven slums endured all the suffering and injustice caused by the disaster.

Theo nodded. When he decided to take Ophelia as his god-granddaughter, he had already investigated it.
