Chapter 1616
Dr. Morris was confused.
'Can I tell her I don't quite get it?'
"Are you saying we should do nothing and let it mutate?" He thought about it and asked.
Lily shook her head. "What I am saying is that herbal medicine is meant to fortify damaged organs and
mobilize the defense mechanism. Our bodies know how to protect themselves; that is why we can get
well from a common cold after a few days without taking any medicine. That is our defense mechanism
working to heal us.
"However, this virus disrupts the mechanism. The medicine I'm researching would fix it so our bodies
could fight and kill the virus."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe spoke earnestly, and Dr. Morris was dumbfounded. After a few seconds, his lips moved as he
blurted out, "That’s a pipe dream!"
'It is! Would the patients still need us if there was a way to fix the defense mechanism and if our bodies
could counteract the virus? Aren't we researching medicine to fight the virus? Herbal medicine
physicians are indeed unreliable. They're full of s*hit!'
Straightening up, he felt it was a waste of time staying there. "I'll look at other departments, so just do
your thing. If you need anything, call me through the nursing station."
"Alright." Lily knew he was dismissive of what she was doing and did not bother to offer any further
explanation.
'Stuff like this doesn’t need any explanation. Those who understand herbal medicine will get what I was
saying, and it’s pointless to explain to those that don't believe in it.’
After taking down her observational data, she walked out of the laboratory. She went through the
infection process and saw Dr. Blanc coming over as she returned to the communal workspace.
"Lily, how many days have you not slept?"
"Not too long." Rubbing her eyes, she yawned despite herself.
"Not too long? Your eyes are bloodshot!" Dr. Blanc said seriously, pulling a long face, "You can't go on
like this! Although it's an urgent matter, you still need rest. If you overwork yourself, you’ll fall ill before
you succeed!"
"I understand. I know what I'm doing." Lily smiled and spoke casually.
"If you do, then go take a break! Come back after you have a good rest. You're not the only one doing
experiments here.” He added, "Don't come back until tomorrow. Go."
He was not asking. Lily wanted to say something, but he interrupted, "This is an order! We don’t want
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou to be part of the project if you don’t comply. Whether it’s you or any other workers, we must take
good care of ourselves during our battle. Got it?"
Hesitant for a moment, Lily nodded. "Okay, I’ll take a break."
"Wait!" Seeing her leave, Dr. Blanc took two steps to catch up with her." There’s a room for you on level
one. It might not have everything you want, but there are clothes and toiletries. You’ll have to make do
for the time being."
Lily was surprised. "I can’t go home?"
'Is that what he was saying?’
Dr. Blanc nodded. "As we have learned from several cases, the virus is highly contagious and has an
incubation period. For safety's sake, it's best not to leave yet."
Lily was at a loss for words.
