Chapter 1589
Lily was surprised.She was genuinely stumped, having forgotten that it was highly unusual for her to cto Dominic's place
wearing a hazmat suit.She coughed and looked toward Dominic.
"Actually...he’s the one who askedto do so."
Dominic was nonplussed.He wanted to avoid the affair and beca 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 toldto be careful if | chere.So, the one who knows about the pandemic disease is notbut Dominic.|
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.| hope you can work with our department to solve the problem! Don't
worry.If you can solve the problem first using herbal medicine, we won't hide the truth and take your credit.We'll tell the world
about it!"
Dominic was at a loss for words.
‘I never concerned myself with them taking my credit.Also, when have | ever said such things?’ He saw the slyness in Lily's eyes
and immediately realized she was taking it out on him because he had revealed her identity and recommended her without telling
her first.
‘This wench is rather petty, isn't she?’ Cornered by these two young persons, Dominic straightened up, coughed twice, and said
solemnly, "It's not that | don’t want to help, but..."
He coughed twice again.
"I'm simply too old and getting weaker! From what | learned from the news and what my fellow practitioners told me, the pandemic
disease is both mysterious and lethal.

"Being in my current state, I'm afraid | can hardly withstand it, not to mention the old and young are most vulnerable to the virus,"
After a pause, he continued, "Of course, I'm not afraid of dying as I'm already old enough.
"However, if | get infected, | won't be able to proceed with the research and will hold you guys back.Also, | don’t mind getting
infected, but what if | infect someone with a weak immune system or a kid? Then | would be causing trouble instead, wouldn't I?"
When he said the last sentence, he looked meaningfully at Lily.It was Lily's turn to be speechless.
‘He's threateningwith my son! In other words, if he were to get infected, he could transmit the virus to Galen, and if he’s not
around, there would be no one to take care of Galen.
This sly old fox never lets anyone take advantage of him, huh?’ Lily clenched her teeth and smiled at him.
"I guess you have a point."
