Ch. 1631..1640

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1631-Austin’s eyeballs moved, finally showing a response.

However, his eyes merely shifted to glance at Mike, then stared back at the ceiling.It was clear that Austin did not trust him.

Having anticipated this, Mike smiled and sat down by the bed.

"You don’t trust me, do you?"

Austin did not bother to look at him.

‘Isn’t that obvious?’

"You’re right not to trust me.After all, who could we trust in this world?"

Mike said with a tinge of emotion as if talking to himself.

Then he added, "You can choose not to believe me and think I’m lying to you again, but note that I will not repeat what I’m going to say, and it’s up to you whether or not to believe it."

Without waiting for Austin’s response, he continued, "You'll be transferred to another place tomorrow.We’re ditching this place and will relocate our experiment to a newer, bigger, and safer place.For you, tomorrow will be the best time to escape."

Austin kept telling himself that Mike was a liar and that he should not trust him again after getting duped last time.

Still, he could not help but listen intently when he heard the word "escape."

Despite himself, he slowly moved his gaze to Mike sitting beside him.Mike stared ahead and seemed to be talking to Austin, but on a more careful observation, it did not seem like it.

"Tomorrow, someone will bring you to a car and take you to a new research center.The personnel here will depart at different times to avoid drawing people's attention.

‘If you can estimate the time, find a way to break free and seize control of the car 20 minutes after your departure.You might save yourself if you can get anyone’s attention or create a commotion.However..."

After a pause, Mike slowly continued, "If you miss that window, not only will you fail to escape, but you might suffer grave consequences.Do you understand?"

‘Of course I do! No one treats me as a human being in this hellhole.I've suffered a gunshot wound, hunger, and endless imprisonment during this period.

‘All this is nothing compared to the unknown virus that has been tormenting me nonstop day and night.

So, how much worse will I be if I fail to escape? It’s already worse than death, and I have nothing to fear.’ Austin’s dried lips moved, and he finally opened his mouth to speak, but since he had not spoken for a long time and had screamed in pain whenever the drug took effect, his voice was husky and sounded like wind blowing through a broken trumpet.

"You guys used a special knot.How can I break free from these ropes?" he asked the most crucial question.

What Mike suggested sounded simple but took work to implement.

Having been locked up for so many days, Austin had tried to escape, but the knots they used on him were unbreakable.

Whenever the drug took effect, he would be in agony and drained of energy, unable to even kill himself by slamming against the wall.

‘If they transfer me to another place, I’m afraid they won’t only tie me up with ropes and drug me to quiet me down.Furthermore, people will have their guard up against me and make it challenging for me to escape.He makes it sound so simple.’

"You don’t need to worry about that.You’! know when they tie you up.They’ll also feed you a drug before you depart, but feel free to take it.Just remember to take this first before you do."

Mike slowly reached out his hand and spread his fingers as he spoke.

A small pill lay in his palm, but Austin hesitated.He did not move or take the pill while his eyes dripped with mistrust.

Mike shoved the pill into Austin’s hand, then closed his fingers so that he could hold it tight.

"I don’t have time to win your trust, and it wouldn’t be necessary.Remember every word I told you.Whether you do it or not, it’s up to you."

He got up and seemed to be leaving.

"Why?" Austin suddenly spoke, "Why help me?"

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1632-"You don’t think I’m lying, do you?"

Looking over his shoulder at him, Mike let out a half-smile.

Pursing his lips, Austin did not reply.He was unsure if Mike was fooling him or trying to help, but anyone would cling to hope despite all odds.

No one would want to give up, even though the chance to live was slim.

‘Everyone strives to live!’ Even if the odds were one in 10,000, he would try it.

Seeing him in silence, Mike let out a bland smile, then turned around and casually put his hands in his pockets, slightly lifting his head.

"If, and only if, you’re lucky enough to get away, I’m sure you won't...spare them, right?"

Austin was puzzled.

Without waiting for his reply, Mike walked off.

The door was shut, and a dead silence ensued.

However, this time, Austin slowly sat on the bed like a corpse.It was a simple movement, but it seemed very difficult for him.

However, invigorated by hope, he sat up, gazed down at the pill in his hand, and then moved his nose closer to it to sniff it.He was still sensitive about medicine.

After he sniffed at it, he lowered his hand and held the pill tightly.

‘I wish...to escape!’ Alexander only left after putting on the hazmat suit and being placed in the isolation hood.

As the transfer was done swiftly in secret and Alexander’s men kept it confidential, few people knew about it.

He had come and left in a hurry, almost as if he had never been in the hospital.

Lily stayed by his side the whole time.

Although they were wearing gloves, they still held their hands tightly together.

Dr.Blanc took a glance and said nothing.

No one said anything until they reached X Department.

Seeing the state-of-the-art equipment and the shocking scene, Alexander did not look surprised or even glanced around.

Instead, he was composed and tranquil, like someone who had been around.

They did not have time to explain where they were, what the place was for, or what would happen after he got transferred, but he didn’t ask anything and simply followed them.

That was because he trusted his wife.

"Where do you plan to place him?"

Looking at Dr.Blanc, Lily asked.

Dr.Blanc pointed upstairs.

"Due to Mr.Russell’s special status, he would stay at the VIP ward on level two.It’s well equipped, so don’t worry.He won’t be mistreated."

"There’s even a VIP ward for one person?"

Lily was somewhat astonished, as she did not know about it.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1633-"We do."

Nodding affirmatively, Dr.Blanc continued, "It’s just that we haven’t started using VIP wards."

Lily was speechless.

"How is the VIP ward different from the ordinary ones downstairs?"

She asked again after some consideration.

"You guys can go and check it out.If there’s anything you're not happy with, we can discuss it."

Dr.Blanc smiled and said, "I have to do something.Please help me settle your husband down.We'll discuss his condition in detail later."

Lily wanted to say something else, but he had already left.

She went to the VIP ward and found it in much better condition than the ones downstairs.

The rooms downstairs were small, each with a small partitioned area where the toilet bow] and shower area could be found.

Sometimes, she could smell the stench through her mask and face shield when she went into one.

The rooms upstairs were different and were like simple hotel rooms.

They came with not only ensuite bathrooms but also sofas and TV sets.

There were even soft and comfortable mattresses on the beds.

At this moment, Alexander was already lying on the bed, half- sitting up, and looking relatively well.

Since they had yet to confirm that there was no risk of contagion, Lily and the other workers could not remove their hazmat suits.

Standing so close to him, she felt they were far apart as she could not even hug him.

"This is your first time here too?"

Seeing her look around, Alexander asked.

Lily nodded, then shook her head.

"More accurately, it’s the first time I heard about a VIP ward.It’s truly..."

Seeing her chuckle, sigh, and hesitantly finish her sentence, Alexander asked, "Truly what?"

"Nothing.I thought at first that everyone was equal before such a ferocious disease because anyone could be infected with it.However, there’s no such equality.Even if we get the same disease, we'll receive different treatments."

Puzzled, Alexander raised his brow.

"The rooms downstairs are in much worse condition," Lily said casually, "Even though there are many young and elderly patients."

Looking at her, Alexander thought about it.

"Are you thinking of letting them stay in the VIP wards or letting me stay with them?"

Hearing the question, Lily snapped out of her trance and shook her head.She lamented about it, but she was not saintlike.

Although she was sympathetic, there was too much suffering in the world, and she could not pity and care for everyone.She was just not that noble.

"No," she said, "I was just feeling a bit sad.You can stay here because of your social status or financial strength, but they can't.Not only do they have to stay in such wards, but they also won’t receive the same treatment you get even after leaving here.This is not something I can change.To make that change, they have to do it themselves."

"Why are you so sad all of a sudden?"

Alexander asked, "Is it because I've been away for too long that you’ve started to overthink?"

Standing before his bed, Lily remained quiet for a while, then slowly said, "Do you know that there’s a three-year-old girl downstairs? Her mother had cancer and died of complications after getting infected with the virus.

"The girl stays alone in a small room, and no one has ever come to ask about her or show her any concern.She’s so young and not much older than Galen..."

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1634-Lily choked up saying that.

She was not a weak person, but the incident made her feel terrible.

Probably because she considered Debbie to be her daughter, whenever she thought about Debbie, she wanted to find a cure immediately and give whoever created the virus a severe beating.

‘Technology is so advanced now, and human beings have created many inventions through research to better our lives.

We're not supposed to cause deaths or turn our world into hell just to realize the ambitions of a small group of people.’ Alexander reached out and gently held her gloved hand.

"Then let her stay upstairs."

Puzzled, Lilly frowned.

"You want to switch rooms with her?"

Alexander chuckled.

"There is more than one VIP room upstairs, and they're all empty.Why can’t they allocate one more room? If additional money is needed, we’ll pay for it.If the social status is required..."

He paused before speaking gently.

"Then she’s our daughter.That should do it, right?"

"Daughter?"

Nodding, he said, "Didn’t you say her mother has passed away, and no one has bothered to show her any concern? Then we’ll be her parents.When she gets better, and the pandemic is over, we’ll apply to adopt her.If it’s too much trouble, we can become her godparents."

"You're willing to do all that?"

Lily was surprised.

"why not? We don’t have a daughter yet, and we’re unsure if the twins are girls.Even if they are, it’s good to have an elder sister as their companion."

He cast a gentle gaze on her stomach.

Although he couldn’t quite see the bulge behind the hazmat suit, he knew two living beings were growing inside.

Thinking about them, his gaze turned gentle and was tinged with worry.

"Can you handle working here?"

"I’ll be fine." Lily caressed her tummy.

"There’s a room for me to rest.Also, I’m only in charge of taking the patients’ wrist pulses to check for changes in their conditions.Then I would prescribe herbal medicine and conduct experiments.

"Others handle the preparation of the concoctions and the recording of lab data, so I’m very well taken care of."

After a pause, she asked hesitantly.

"Aren’t you going to ask what this place is?"

‘Since he first met Dr.Blanc until now, he hasn’t asked about it.Is he not even a bit curious?’ "This is where special patients are treated, and Dr.Blanc and others are no ordinary doctors.Am I right?" Alexander asked her instead.

Lily nodded.

"This is a federal department, and you can’t tell others what department it is, right?" He asked again.

Nodding, Lily was surprised.

"So you do know where we are!"

"No, I don’t."

Shaking his head, he said, "More accurately, I don’t know what the department is called or what it is in charge of.However, I do know that a place like this is highly classified.I didn't ask anything because 1 know you can’t tell me."

Lily was surprised.

‘He truly is smart!’

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1635 -Alexander chuckled when he saw Lily staring at him.

"Don’t look at me like that.Don’t forget that I also deal with government officials."

What he said reminded Lily of something.

"I have something to..."

"Ask away.Do you need to be so polite with me?"

Alexander immediately caught on and interrupted her.

Lily smiled, then asked, "Based on what you know about Cameron, do you think he’s a capricious person?"

"On the contrary, he is a man of his word and is decisive."

Alexander answered quickly and asked in return, "Why?"

Lily shook her head slightly and was unsure how to answer since she had only received two calls and met Cameron once or twice.

Anastasia complained to her over the phone, but Lily did not know the details.

"you wouldn’t ask this type of question for no reason.Did something happen?"

Alexander’s instincts told him that it was a serious matter.As there was nothing to hide from him, Lily said, "It’s Tasia."

"what's wrong with her?"

Lily roughly told Alexander about the situation and frowned.

"She's not a willful girl, and although I haven’t met Cameron many times, I feel he’s not someone who would do such a thing."

"He indeed wouldn’t."

After listening to Lily’s story, Alexander thought there was more than met the eye.

"Also, I think it has something to do with Rhea Moore."

Alexander knitted his brow slightly.

"Are you talking about Anastasia’s cousin?"

"yes!"

Lily nodded and continued, "She worked with me at the same lab, but I never saw her and didn’t even know about her existence.I only discovered she had a lot of authority at the lab when I quit.She had even more power than Professor Thompson and..."

"And?”

"I think she even has more authority than Mike."

Lily felt conflicted thinking about Mike.

"Him?"

Alexander was surprised.

"It’s a long story.A lot of things happened when you weren’t around,"

Lily sighed and said, "Stop thinking about these things and rest well.Based on your pulse, I feel you’ll get well soon.After a few more days of observation, you should be able to leave if there are no other symptoms."

"What about you?"

Alexander worried about his wife more than himself.

"Will you remain here if I leave?"

Lily slowly nodded.

"I must develop a cure for the virus before I leave.That’s what I’ve promised, and it’s also my mission."

Alexander gave her a profound look and smiled, though it betrayed his resignation and worry.

"What's with that smile?" Lily asked.

"I guess I’m just proud," Alexander said after some thought.

Lily was puzzled.

"I only knew my wife was an outstanding perfumer, and people loved the perfumes she created worldwide."

Alexander gazed at her gently and lovingly.

"Then I discovered she’s a powerful fighter, and ordinary men are no match for her even if they join forces.She has adequate skills in protecting herself and a brilliant brain."

Lily was astounded.

"Say no more, okay?"

She felt she was blushing and would be embarrassed if the face shield did not veil her face.

Alexander curled his lips but continued, "Then I recently discovered she’s also a miracle doctor.Not only does she know her way around plants, but she can also cure people and save lives.

"My wife is such a treasure!" He said, earnestly thinking so.

"Is there anything else I don’t know about?"

Alexander gave her a gentle look.

Devoid of doubts and suspicion, his gaze dripped with admiration and affection.He remembered that she first impressed him as a gentle, sensible, and cute young woman.Then she went to marry Alexander with her eyes filled with pain and tenacity when that a*shole bullied her.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1636-Alexander used to think he was her haven, a fireproof shield, and a harbor where she could spend her days.

Only later did he realize that she was far more capable than he knew.

The more he got to know her, the more he loved her.

"I just learned a little more, that's all.I'm not as good as you said," Lily murmured.

She was uncomfortable with receiving praise.

"It's great!" Alexander said earnestly as he gently took her hands and looked into her eyes.

‘What a pity that we’re in this mess.Otherwise, I would have pulled Lily into my embrace and kissed her passionately.’ After being silent for a while, Alexander thought of something and asked.

"How's Galen?"

"You still remember you have a son?"

Lily glanced at him reproachfully as she pursed her lips into a smile.She thought he had forgotten about Galen.

After all, Alexander had yet to mention him since the two met.

If he did not ask this question today, she would have assumed he had forgotten about his own son.

"How can I not remember my son?"

He glanced at her disapprovingly.

"Galen is with my mentor.I think he should be fine."

Lily thought about this and suddenly recalled that she had not called Dominic in awhile.

However, she knew Dominic would be the only one who would feel troubled.

"Should?"

Alexander looked at her suspiciously.

"Your mentor is..."

"I'll tell you about it later!" She smiled.

"I still have work to do.Have a good rest, Patient 58!"Alexander was speechless.

‘This woman!’ The pot of water was slowly simmering as she gently put a towel into it, soaked it, and wrung it dry.She did everything in the same order.

Olivia took the towel and slowly wiped it along the man, from his neck to his shoulders and then to his waist.

The once muscular body was full of scars, with two very prominent wounds on the chest and waist.

The gunshot wounds were terrifying indeed.

Although scabs were already starting to form, one could only imagine how painful and threatening it was when the man got shot.

It had been days, but Olivia could not help but want to cry whenever she wiped him.

Once she reached his waist, she turned around to wash the towel.She lowered her head, and tears fell into the pot, causing a little splash.

"Don't cry." He knew she was crying even if he did not see her tears.

"I'm not dead."

Before he could even finish talking, Olivia quickly turned around and covered his mouth.

"Don't say that word! You're not going to die! I won't let you die!" She sobbed.

‘God knows how surprised and happy I was when he showed up at her door!’ However, she trembled when he showed her the wounds on his body and what he told her.She was also shocked and in disbelief at everything.Even now, it still felt like a dream.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1637 -"Don't cry."

The man gently held Olivia’s hand as he pulled it away from his lips.His voice was as warm and as calm as ever.

"I'm back, aren't I?"

Olivia immediately opened her arms and hugged him from behind, sobbing.

‘yes! He's back! He's finally back!' After months of worrying, he had finally returned to her side.

She should be delighted, but her heart felt heavy.She was so distraught that all she could do was hug him and cry.

Edward turned around slowly and brushed his palm across her cheeks, touching her eyebrow and then lips.

"Have you not met Alexander?"

"I don't know where he is."

Olivia shook her head, bursting into tears again.

"You said he has returned, but I haven't heard any news about it.

The Russell family seems to know nothing.

"Recently, there has been some turmoil within La Beaute Group, saying that something had happened to him abroad.However, the higher-ups seemed to be suppressing the news, so everything is kept at bay now."

"What about Lily?"He asked again.

"Lily...I don't know what she's been up to these days.She doesn't answer her phone, and the last time I asked her..."

"What did you ask her?"

Edward's grip on Olivia’s chin tightened as he lifted her face slightly.He was looking at her somewhat angrily.

"Didn't I tell you not to say anything?!"

"I didn't..."

Olivia was astounded. She had rarely seen him so irritated before and began to panic.

"I just asked if, one day, I stood on the opposite side of Mr.Russell, whose side would she be on?"

"Idiot!"

He dropped his hand and stood up, wrapping a towel around his waist.

Then he asked agitatedly, "How did she answer you?"

"S-She said there won't be such a day.She said that Mr.Russell and I are equally important to her,"

Olivia answered in a low voice.She felt this question was stupid and redundant, but she could not help but want to ask.

Maybe it was a question she needed to answer herself.

If a day came when she would have to choose between her lover or her long-time friend, who would she choose? When she turned to look at Edward, he had already lit a cigarette.

‘He never smoked.’ Edward seemed to be a different person after returning.He was smoking, grumpy, and capricious.

However, there were times when he would still be the gentle guy Olivia once knew.She would have thought it was an impostor if it were not because of how familiar she was with Edward.

Smoke began to form around his face as he took two deep puffs.

After exhaling another ring of smoke, he asked, "So, you didn't get any useful information out of her?"

"What useful information?"

"Where is their son?" He asked again, looking up at her.

Olivia's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she subconsciously questioned, "Why are you looking for their son?"

"J'm just wondering! Alexander had been off the radar for so long.We don't even know if he's dead or alive.As for Lily, she seems to have disappeared as well.Are you not curious about where their son is or how Margaret is?"

Edward blurted before stuffing the cigarette back into his mouth.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1638 -"She said Galen is in a very safe place and that she didn't send him to his grandmother's.As for where I have no idea."

On the contrary, Olivia had a clue where Galen was.She had guessed it on the day she stopped Lily on the road.

Olivia didn't get why Lily was so adamant about keeping the secret from her.

Hearing this, Edward scoffed.

Olivia almost thought she imagined the mockery in his tone.

"Aren't you two good friends? How can you not know? After so many years, you still know nothing about her."

"I had a fallout with her because of you."

Olivia was getting a little irritated at his attitude.She stood up with a frown and threw the towel into the sink.

"I never like to pry about things she doesn't want to discuss."

"So, you're blaming me now?" Edward cast her a sideways glance.

Then he took a drag of the cigarette and sighed.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have returned."

After saying that, he stood up, casually wore the shirt thrown aside, and began to button it.

Olivia began to panic and rushed over to hug his waist.

"No! You can't leave! You can't leave!"

‘He finally came back.How can I let him leave?!’ She could never tell how long it would be before he returned if she let him go this time.

She had waited for his return for so long.She would not allow him to leave, no matter what.

Edward stopped buttoning his shirt after being hugged tightly by her.

He sighed, turned around, and put his hands on her shoulders.

"I know you and Lily are friends.Alexander and I were in the same boat as well."

Olivia did not know how to respond to that.

Instead, she buried her head in his chest quietly.

Edward gently stroked her hair with one hand and slowly said, "You and I are the same.We're sensitive, and because of this, we get ourselves hurt.I've put my life on the line for him so many times and never regretted it.

"If it weren't for the fact that he used me as a shield for the bullet, I wouldn't have believed that he was this type of person.Look! Look at this!"

He suddenly shoved her away forcefully and pointed at the scar left by the bullet hole.

"This is where the bullet hit me! It's here! "There are countless scars on my body, but this is the one he left when he pushed me with his bare hands to take the bullet for him! People are selfish in the face of life and death.Can't you see that?!"

Olivia stared at the gunshot wound.

Although it was not the first time she saw it, and the wound had already healed, she couldn't help but cry every time she saw it.

It wasn't only because this injury almost killed him but also because of what he said.It was hard to believe that Alexander would push Edward in front of him to block the bullet.

Why would Alexander do that? Edward would willingly die for him.

There was no need for him to do that.

This meant that he never considered Edward to be a friend.

Despite this, this story came from Edward himself.He, who had escaped death, returned to tell her all this.

How could she not believe him? He didn't have to lie to her.

He wouldn't lie to her.

Olivia also found it hard to face him and Lily because of this.

"I know you're a kind woman and won't know how to tell her.That's why I didn't tell you to."

Edward gently pulled Olivia into his arms again.

"Just...leave everything to me!"

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1639 -With Alexander's arrangement, Debbie was quickly assigned to the VIP room upstairs, next to his.

There was not much difference except for an extra sense of novelty.

Children were simple and pure.

They didn't need much.

For Debbie, all she needed was her doll.

"Lily, why are we moving rooms?" Debbie asked, blinking her big eyes.

"The man next door wants you to live more comfortably.Do you like this room?" Lily asked warmly.

"I do!"

Debbie nodded.

"But, the room before was nice as well!"

Lily couldn't help but feel a rush of emotions as she looked at the child's pure smile.

Lily was embarrassed by the difference between the rooms upstairs and downstairs, but the children didn't seem to mind.

"Did you take your medicine like a good girl?"

Lily touched the top of Debbie's head lightly.

Lily had just checked her pulse, and it seemed like the child was recovering.It wouldn't be long before she should be fully recovered.

However...

"Lily, can I go next door?" Debbie asked softly.

"Am I still not allowed to?"

This immediately brought Lily back to her senses.She asked curiously, "What do you want to do next door?"

To prevent cross-infection, patients were not allowed to visit each other.

Everyone had to stay in their room.

This resulted in some patients becoming depressed due to their isolation, and they would request to talk to a psychologist.

"I want to go next door to thank the man."

Debbie's childish voice was filled with sincerity.

This made Lily laugh.

"It's okay.I've already thanked him for you.Just take your medicine obediently and listen to what the doctor says.You getting better is the best form of gratitude."

"I will!"

The little girl smiled, hugging the doll in her arms.

She appeared to be no different than any other ordinary child outside.

With that, Lily straightened up and said goodbye to the child before heading to Alexander's ward.

Alexander had just shut his eyes when he heard movement from outside.

Turning over to look, he saw Lily walking in.

"Are you bored?" She asked.

No electronic devices were allowed here.

Although there was a TV in the room, all he could do was watch the news and some TV shows.

The TV would be useless to people like him who had been using the Internet for a long time.

However, he had no choice.

This was a special department.

The staff had to sign confidentiality agreements, while those admitted were confirmed patients.

Many patients were here, but none knew why they were being observed so closely.

All they knew was that they were here for special treatment.

The technology was so advanced that it would be easy for people to track mobile phone signals.

It was easy to hack into phones and discover what was happening here.

Therefore, for confidentiality reasons, people who came here were not allowed to bring any communication devices.

Alexander was no exception.

He smiled in understanding.

"It's fine."

He was always calm and collected.He always seemed to be in control of everything.His fearlessness brought tranquility to Lily.

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 1640-Lily had to admit that although she appeared calm throughout this period, her heart was always racing.

If this continued, she might collapse at some point.

However, right on the verge of all this, he came.

His presence reassured her.

As long as she could see him every day and exchange a few words, as long as she could see his calm face sitting peacefully on the bed, her restless heart could calm down.

His presence allowed her to be brave.

"How do you feel today?"

She asked, sitting down on the edge of the bed and habitually reaching out to feel his pulse.

Alexander seemed used to this as he stretched out his arm and quietly allowed her to feel his pulse.

Lily was gentle as she pressed his wrist.

She seemed focused as she quietly felt his pulse beat.

After a few minutes, she retracted her hand and looked into his eyes.

Then she told him to stick his tongue out.

Once she was done, she asked, "Is today's blood test result out?"

She already knew the general situation after taking his pulse.

However, as this experimental center included both modern and traditional medicine, they collected data from two aspects.

They needed to look at the results of blood tests alongside other machine tests.

"No.It'll probably come out by noon,"

Alexander replied.

"you're a little anemic, but it's a normal reaction after being sick for so long.I've added some blood-enriching herbs to your medication.The taste will be a little different once I've added that in.Remember to take it."

"Got it, Dr.Christian."

He gently tickled her palm and smiled.

Alexander then asked, "Oh, how's Greg?"

"He doesn't have any symptoms.He's in the isolated observation room and can leave in a few more days if the results come back clear," Lily replied.

Speaking of this, she remembered something.

"Greg is a special case.According to the statistics, people who had close contact with him are infected.It can be said that the infection rate is high, but he seems fine."

"Maybe he's healthy," Alexander replied with a smile.

"You're also healthy.I did ask him.I was wondering if it had anything to do with his diet or lifestyle because he has been living in the mountains all year."

"Is this the direction you're going in an attempt to find a way to overpower this virus?" As expected, he could always pick up on her intentions immediately.

Lily nodded.

"Since ancient times, there has always been a group of people who were immune to the plague.Some people are born with specific antibodies, be it through natural selection, survival of the fittest, or the laws of nature.We can use them as a reference.It's just..."

She trailed off, then continued, "I didn't dare speak out on this.I don't want Greg to be dragged into this experiment.I've been personally asking him, and I think I've figured something out."

"Regardless of what you do, I'll always support you.I only have one request, and that is to remember to take care of yourself!"

He squeezed her hand and reminded her.

Lily nodded.

"I will!"

Just as she was about to go back to her laboratory to check on the medicine, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps from the next door, accompanied by a piercing and urgent whistle.This wasn't an unfamiliar sound.

It was the sound of the emergency call bell, indicating something was wrong.

‘The room next door...The room next door is where Debbie is.’ However, she was fine when Lily left her.

Could it be...Lily's heart sank as she rushed to the next room.
