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, “
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
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 reme
"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 ag
"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 p
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
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 h
There were already quite a few staff members standing at the door, and the innocent, lovely girl who had been alive and kicking was now lying there with a mask on her face, her eyes tightly closed.Lily felt her heart skip a beat as she quickly stepped forward. One of the staff was about to push her away, but they realized who Lily was and immediately stepped aside again, knowing Lily was about to check the little girl's pulse.Lily resolutely put two fingers on the child's wrist and gave it a light squeeze as if fearing she might break the little girl's wrist. Debbie's pulse was weak, and Lily’s heart shrank.That was what Lily feared. It was almost the same incident with Alexander back then. He seemed to heal, and modern medicine diagnosed him as normal. However, in less than two days, in one day, to be exact, things suddenly worsened severely.That was the cunning nature of the virus. The virus was good at hiding, staying dormant in the patient's body before suddenly striking ag
