Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 421 We were running out of time . Once the medicine passed the drug test , we could start recruiting volunteers for the clinical trial . After that , we'd finally move on to sales . " Metis ' formulae can't possibly be wrong ! " I said with conviction . We worked through the night . By morning , our quality control team confirmed that the first batch of medicine was safe . " We're down to the final step , " I announced . " I need volunteers for a trial . If all goes well , both medicines will be on the market by noon ! Volunteers will receive financial compensation .

Anyone struggling with insomnia or the flu is ideal for this test . " At the mention of payment , everyone perked up . They began calling their parents and relatives , eager to join . Watching their excitement and faith in our work filled me with pride , especially since each of them had passed our rigorous screening . By late morning , the volunteers were ready . Jeanine was among them . " I trust our product , Mr. Grimwald . I've had trouble sleeping lately , and I'd like to see if this helps , " she said . She was so determined that I didn't stop her .

The volunteers reported their symptoms and were divided into two groups . Each took the assigned medicine , then waited in the lounge . Within half an hour , most showed no side effects . Some even claimed the drugs worked . Jeanine yawned and said she felt drowsy - so much so that she wanted to get a hotel room for a nap . Others who had the flu said their sore throats already felt better . I was elated . " It seems our data checks out ! These are ready for the market ! " Then , without warning , one of the volunteers rolled his eyes and collapsed .

Foam spilled from his mouth as his body convulsed . Panic swept the room . " Oh God , what's happening to him ? " " Wait ! Are we next ?! " Fortunately , we had a doctor on standby . He rushed to the man's side . " Everyone , please stay calm , " Jeanine said , stepping forward . " Because this is a trial , the pills you received were in lower doses . There's always a small chance of allergic reactions to certain ingredients . We'll identify the cause and adjust the formula immediately . Your safety is our top priority . " She handled the crowd perfectly - quick , composed , persuasive .

1/2 Jeanine was the best PR agent 1 could ask for . Then she leaned toward me and whispered , " Don't worry . Mild reactions happen all the time . As long as pos dies and we compensate the patients , it won't cost us much . I've already prepared a contingency plan for this I admired her initiative , but my instincts told me something else . " Hold on , Jeanine . First the formway inciders , now this ? Something's off . It smells like sabotage . " ADMINJ
