Chapter 1617
'I can understand that, but what about Alex?'
Although there were medical staff taking care of him and Greg was around, Lily was still worried as the
outsiders had no idea how to deal with the virus. Fortunately, she could still use her phone.
For everyone's sake, she could only follow the rules and nod. "I got it. I won't leave and will stay right
here.”
Dr. Blanc sighed. "I know I'm asking a lot from you and everyone else, but I hope you can all
understand due to the unusual circumstances. I won't be going home either."
Lily gave him a slight nod and was about to leave when she thought of something and turned around.
"Dr. Blanc, how long is the incubation period?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Based on what we know, it’s about seven days. However, since our data is not comprehensive with
limited cases within the country, we’re unsure if it'll be longer than seven days."
'I see!’ In other words, she could not leave the place for at least seven days.
Lily retired to her assigned bedroom and realized the place was small but decent since it came with
necessities. It was just as Dr. Blanc said. There was also an attached bathroom for Lily to shower.
Lily supported her hips with her hands and sat down, her lower back feeling sore. She finally felt her
exhaustion kicking in. She grew sleepy, probably because she finally started to relax.
She took out her phone, wanting to call and ask about Alexander's condition, but before she could dial
the number, her eyelids shut close, and she conked out as her head drooped.
After some time, the vibration in her hand jerked her awake. Dazed, it took her several seconds to
orientate herself. She looked at her phone and saw it was a call from Anastasia. Lily rubbed her
temples, propped herself up, and pressed the answer button. "Hello?"
"Lily, have you not returned home lately?" Anastasia cut to the chase and asked.
Lily grunted a yes. "I have to tend to some matters and won't be returning anytime soon."
"Then..." Anastasia was seemingly hesitant and did not finish her sentence.
After some thought, Lily asked, "Is it about your father again?"
"Yes..." the young woman answered. Her voice sounded husky from crying so much. "I know I shouldn't
keep bothering you, and you must have
important things to do since you haven't been home for the past few days, but... I truly have nowhere to
go."
"What do you mean you have nowhere to go?" Lily did not quite get it and involuntarily sat up.
"I ran away from home. I don't know where I should go, and I'm scared my father will find me and bring
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmme back. I don't know what I should do. I'm also running low on cash because I don't dare to make
payments using phone apps."
As Anastasia spoke somewhat incoherently, Lily frowned. "Tasia, where are you now? Why did you run
away from home?"
'Would Cameron become so mean? That's unlike him! Although I wouldn't call him a doting father, he
loves his daughter dearly. How would he leave her stranded with nowhere to go, so much so that she
has to call me for help?
"It’s a long story. My father listened to my cousin and locked me up after confiscating my phone. If my
father hadn’t been away from home lately, I couldn’t have escaped. I worry that he’ll find me and lock
me up again."
Anastasia paused and sniffled. "Lily, I haven't taken your medicine recently, and I'm tired and hungry. I
truly don't know where else I can go."
