Chapter 1589
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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcould 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, Dorn. 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'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 I ever said such things?1
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 I don't want to help, but..."
He coughed twice again. "I'm simply too old and getting weaker! From what I 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 I can hardly withstand it, not to mention the old and young are
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmost 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 I get infected, I won't be able to proceed with the research and will hold you guys back.
Also, I don’t mind getting infected, but what if I infect someone with a weak immune system or a kid?
Then I 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 threatening me with 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."
