Lily was surprised. She was genuinely stumped, having forgotten that it was highly unusual for her to come to Dominic’s place wearing a hazmat suit.She coughed and looked toward Dominic. “Actually… he’s the one who asked me to do so.”Dominic was nonplussed. He wanted to avoid the affair and become a referrer, but it was challenging to handle these two parties. Lily seemed not to want him to enjoy his peace by cueing him so soon. “Oh?” Dr. Blanc said blandly.Lily said, “He said the pandemic is serious. Although our country is okay for now, knowing that the virus could spread fast and is hard to detect, he told me to be careful if I came here. So, the one who knows about the pandemic disease is not me but Dominic. I also feel you should help them, Dom. You shouldn’t stay out of this!”Dominic was speechless.Dr. Morris repeatedly nodded in agreement. “That’s right! Mr. Fike, you can’t continue living as a hermit. I hope you can work with our department to solve the problem! Don
“But…” Dr. Morris wanted to say something, but Dr. Blanc stopped him again. “In that case, we won’t force you, as we’re looking for a volunteer. Besides, I trust Mr. Fike’s recommendation, and I believe Mrs. Russell could work well with us.” He turned to look at Lily as he made the invitation. Lily looked at him pensively for a few seconds, then slowly said, “I look forward to working with you guys then.”“Dr. Blanc…” Dr. Morris was somewhat against it. He still felt that it was better to invite Dominic. However, the chief physician did not plan to let him speak. “Moe, show Mrs. Russell the non-disclosure agreement.” Although Dr. Morris was reluctant, he obeyed the instruction and took a non-disclosure agreement from his briefcase to hand it to her. Lily hesitated for a moment and took it, then heard Dr. Blanc say, “Due to the nature of our work, everyone who works with the X Department has to sign an agreement like this. I hope you don’t mind.”Lily browsed through the det
"I know. I knew you'd understand me," the old man said with a smile after being freed to move his body. Noticing Lily’s preoccupied face, he asked, "What's wrong? How's that silly husband of yours?""He's not looking very good." Lily shook her head and briefly recounted the situation in the past few days, including his pulse reading, condition changes, and laboratory test results.The most intriguing aspect of all of this was that the lab results were normal. She only knew Alexander's internal organs were unwell by reading his pulse. It seemed like medical instruments could not pick up the effects of this virus."How interesting!" The old man spoke thoughtfully as he listened.However, he immediately realized how bad that sounded and glanced at her before correcting his words. "I didn't mean it that way. What I'm saying is… From your description, it seems like the virus was created to avoid all these instruments. Could it be a new disease from God?""It's a man-made virus, not one
"There's nothing mysterious about the department, but I can't say it's not mysterious either!" Dominic began to beat around the bush.Lily shot him a glare before he continued, "It's quite easy to tell. They specialize in the study of strange phenomena. Besides the plague, they also looked into some strange phenomena that science couldn't explain.""You mean spiritual things?!" her eyes widened in surprise.‘Why were there still doctors studying supernatural powers?’He waved dismissively as if he could read her mind. "No, no, no. They don't just have doctors there. They have architects, special police forces, and various other jobs that you can think of. To summarize, they’re a group of elites from all backgrounds."His smile was very flattering as he said that. "Speaking of which, you're also an elite."Lily immediately rolled her eyes. "You deserve all the credit."Dominic chuckled and ignored her sarcasm as he continued, "This department and I go way back. I was probably in
The two looked at each other without saying a word, and the atmosphere turned awkward."You…" Lily didn't know what to say as she looked at Olivia. "What are you doing?"Olivia did not reply."Are you following me?"Silence followed again as Olivia did not speak. Seeing her drooping head and worried face, Lily sighed. "Is this about Edward?"Only then did Olivia look up at Lily and ask, "No. Is Mr. Russell back?"Lily was astounded. Instead of asking about Edward, Olivia was asking about Alexander. Lily pursed her lips and frowned slightly. "Yeah. What's wrong?""Can I see him?" Olivia asked."No!" Lily refused in an instant. The only reason behind it was because of Alexander's current physical condition. He should see as few people as possible.She even kept his return a secret from his mother for fear that she would come and visit him at the hospital if she knew about it. At her age, it would be terrible if she also caught the plague. It was only right to take precautions be
"What if you have to choose?!" Olivia was weirdly stubborn today. She had always been a mellow person. It was out of character of her to persist. "If he and I were to have a conflict and were on different sides, who would you choose? What if…what if we become enemies…"The more she spoke, the more anxious and angrier she became."You won't become enemies!" Lily interrupted. "I won't let the two of you become enemies! You're not an unreasonable person, and neither is he. If there comes a day when you two have a conflict, I will help solve the misunderstanding.“You two are the most important people to me. How can you ask me to choose?" Lily reasoned solemnly and sighed. "Olivia, I know you've been going through a lot lately, and your emotions must be all over the place, but believe me, I'll always be here to help you!"However, Olivia was not appeased by her as before. Instead, she took two steps back, shook her head, and said, "No. No, you won't. I used to think there were people o
"I'm here!" Rhea called out, coming into the living room before he could finish talking.As weird as it sounded, the manic Cameron immediately calmed down when he saw her. He did not seem as irritable and anxious as before. He was looking straight at her. "Rhea…""Uncle Cameron, I just remembered I have something to discuss with you about the lab again. I need to talk to you!" She said and walked straight into the study.With a nod, Cameron quickly followed her in.Fabian was stunned by what he saw. Just as he was about to follow them, Rhea stopped him. "This is a secret between Uncle Cameron and me!"Fabian was a little displeased to hear this. After all, he was her father, and there should be no secrets between the two. Moreover, Fabian was responsible for the vaccine development project. However, he did not dare to object.He could see that Cameron seemed to only listen to Rhea. Although Fabian did not know what trick she pulled on him, it did not matter. As long as it benefit
Although the study door was closed, Anastasia was not satisfied. She trotted up to the study to try and eavesdrop on them.However, the door was pulled open as soon as she reached it. Rhea stood at the door with her arms crossed, casually looking at her. "Why won't you listen to your father?"Then Rhea turned her head to look at Cameron. "Uncle Cameron, what do you think we should do?""Get out!" Cameron yelled at Anastasia with a livid face."Dad, is she threatening you? Why are you acting like this? I'm Tasia, your daughter!" Anastasia looked at him desperately.‘Rhea must’ve hypnotized him! That’s the only explanation!’ Anastasia wanted to snap him out of it. ‘I can’t let it go on like this!’Rhea, on the other hand, seemed unconcerned. She turned around and smiled faintly. "I'm not in a rush."This seemed to trigger something in Cameron. He suddenly grabbed Anastasia by the hand before forcefully dragging her out. Although she was heavy, he wasn't just any man. His muscular
