Chapter 1621
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
Having remained quiet on the side, Dr.Morris spoke, "The government started building the vaccination center a long time ago, and I think it should be operational by now.I heard the tender process had been completed, so I assume it will be very soon.They have also rounded up the specialists in that field, so Iâm sure theyâll step up the prevention of the spread of the virus."
âThis is no doubt good news!â Lily grew calmer and asked, despite herself, "Have they already developed the vaccine? Is it reliable? Has it gone through clinical trials yet? Are there any data on its side effects and adverse reactions?"
Dr.Blanc shook his head.
"Iâm not sure since itâs a different department.However, vaccines would have to go through several stages of clinical trials before they could be used.Anyway, Iâm only telling you this so that you know everyone is working hard, and itâs not you alone."
"I know youâre eager to find the cure, but don't get too anxious about it."
With a soft sigh, Dr.Blanc said, "We must do things one step at a time.Whatâs important is that we can steadily eradicate the virus."
If she was somewhat anxious before this, Dr.Blanc's words managed to put her mind at ease.
Nodding, she said, "Iâve overreacted."
"Oh, yes, this is the latest data on the effectiveness of your concoction."
Dr.Morris took a step forward and handed her a logbook.
"Lab mice 3 and 11 fully recovered with no side effects, and others are improving.Your medicine might truly be effective."
He was careful with his wording but stayed true to the facts.He did not try to disparage the results simply because he looked down on herbal medicine or Lily.
Lily browsed through the logbook and closed it.
The data was only to ascertain whether the results would be as she had imagined, and now it proved that her judgment was correct as the outcome was almost the same.
"Okay, I'll do another round, and if thereâs no problem, I'll gradually put my medicine to use," she said, looking at Dr.Blanc.
Dr.Blanc nodded and looked at her serenely as he waved at Dr.Morris.
"Moe, go to Zone A to see the progress of their experiment, then bring a copy of their data to submit to the central unit for compilation and analysis."
"Okay!"
Dr.Morris went away to carry out his instructions, leaving Dr.Blanc and Lily alone.
Dr.Blanc threw her a deep look.
"Are you tired now?"
"Not really."
Lily worried he would not buy it and added, "I slept just now.Although it was just a nap, Iâve replenished my strength."
"Good."
Nodding, Dr.Blanc said, "Then make a trip with me."
"Going out?"
Lily was surprised.
"Didnât you say we canât go in and out as we like and have to be quarantined for a while?"
Shaking his head, Dr.Blanc said, "Iâm not letting you go out freely.Thereâs a new patient that needs to be brought in.Come with me."
Hearing that, Lily suddenly tensed up.
"A new case? Isn't everything under control? How can there be a new case? How many others? Where is it? Is it already spreading? Are there any safety measures in place?"
Dr.Blanc looked at her, then turned around and began to walk away.
"We're in a hurry.Letâs talk on the way, okay?"
Lily hesitated no more and hurried after.
They got into a special ambulance.
Lily, Dr.Blanc, and several other workers sat on both sides of the vehicle, all wearing their hazmat suits and looking professional.
Since the windows were sealed, one could not see the outside view of the moving vehicle.
Lily remained quiet for a while and asked Dr.Blanc, despite herself, "How did you discover the case?
Has it been a long time? Is there anyone who has been in close contact with the patient? Are we putting these people under observation?"
