Lily gazed at Alexander, seemingly sleeping on the bed. She knitted her brow tightly and observed his face while checking his
pulse. She lifted her eyelids to look at him, and her expression grew somber.
Only when she let go of Alexander's wrist did Greg ask, “How is he?”
“The virus might have mutated,” Lily said while looking at him.
“What does it mean?” Greg raised his voice. He knew little about it except that it sounded scary.
After sthought, Lily looked at Greg and said, “He can’t stay here. | have to bring him to another place.”
Greg was stunned and shook his head repeatedly. “No, Alexander said he shouldn't leave before he gets completely well, or he
would spread the disease to others.”

“It's indeed contagious, but I'm afraid he'll die if he stays here any longer. The virus has started to mutate. If we don’t contain it, |
have no idea what it will becor whether it will mutate again. | don’t have enough resources, either. We can only save him by
transferring him to a well-equipped place with enough herbs!”
Lily was serious. It was not a whimsical or willful decision. Instead, the current situation had gotten worse than she expected.
“But...” Greg scratched his head and was hesitant.
“l know you listen to him, and you're doing this for his sake. However, the situation is different now. We've got to roll with the
punches, okay?”
Greg was puzzled. “Huh? Roll with the lunches?”
Lily was speechless. ‘Forget it. | doubt | can make myself clear to him."
She sighed. “Anyway, leaving now is the best option for Alex. If he could wake up, he would surely agree to it. Rest assured that I'll
take care of everything and take all necessary safety measures along the journey!”
Greg blinked. He seemed to understand Lily and yet confused at the stime.
Lily looked at him and suddenly thought of something. She said, “Greg, giveyour hand.”
Greg was bewildered. “My hands?”
He subconsciously reached out his two hands and looked at them, not knowing what Lily wanted to do.
Lily held one of his hands and pressed her fingers on his wrist to take his pulse. She found his pulse was steady and robust. She
raised her brow and looked at him. “You're not infected even a bit.”
“I'm in good shape!” Thinking it was a compliment, Greg patted his chest and chuckled.

“I think it's more than that.”
‘Alexander was also in good shape and sturdy, but his body couldn't fight the virus. Although Greg has taken safety measures, he
only uses ordinary sanitizer and masks. He doesn’t even put on goggles.
‘However, he shows no signs of being infected. It might be due to probability, luck, or good health. Whatever it is, it's worth
studying.”
“You must cwith us!” She made her decision.
Greg was surprised, “Huh?”
Perhaps she was influenced by Alexander or was anxious about the urgent matter, but Lily acted fast. She called someone to
arrange an ambulance with disinfectant and personal protective equipment. Within half a day, she had managed to transfer
Alexander from the remote town to a hospital in the suburb of Kingsland.
