Chapter 1623
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
"I donât understand why you couldnât tell beforehand if youâre picking up Alex.Why couldnât you just tell me? Patient number 58? A new case? What the hell was that about?"
Lily questioned Dr.Blanc as she stared at him.She was distraught.
âI understand if they discovered Alex and now want to take him away for quarantine, but why didnât they tell me anything during such a long journey from the center?â Dr.Blanc looked at her deeply without a word.
"Did you not tell me because you thought I wouldnât agree to it and would relocate him in advance?"
Lily guessed since she could not get an answer from Dr.Blanc.
"Lily, thereâs no need to dwell on it.You've stayed at the center for quite some time and know how special and serious the disease can be.I only didnât inform you just in caseâ"
"Just in case?"
Lily was upset.
"You simply donât trust me! If you don't, why do you want me to work for you guys? I shouldnât even stay, should I?"
"Itâs not that we donât trust you, butâ"
"I disagree!"
Lily took a deep breath and interrupted, "Just like you said, the most professional team of medical staff is attending to Alex.I guarantee theyâll take full safety measures to ensure the disease wouldnât spread.As for transferring him, thereâs no need.Thank you, Dr.Blanc, for your good intention, but please go back!"
The bodyguards heard that, took action, and surrounded them.
Suddenly, there was a stand-off, and a fight looked like it was about to break out.
Dr.Blanc seemed to have anticipated this.He heaved a long sigh and said, "Calm down, Lily.Donât be rash.Weâ re only relocating Mr.Russell to the center because we can give him better treatment and study his case.
"Based on what we know, Mr.Russell got infected in Burnwken, so his data and sample will be more direct and valuable than the local ones.I hope you donât give in to your emotions for the greater good."
"Give in to my emotions?"
Lily chuckled twice and could hardly remain calm.
"Dr.Blanc, if thatâs the case, why couldnât you tell me right from the start? I even asked you about it on the way, yet you didnât tell me.
"You waited until now to corner me into agreeing to it, didnât you? If you donât trust me, why should I trust you? Trust is supposed to be mutual!"
"I..."
Dr.Blanc was stumped and did not know how to answer.
Indeed, he feared Lily would disagree and secretly relocate her husband.
That was why Dr.Blanc did not tell her who they were picking up until they arrived.
However, he simply wanted to ensure nothing would go wrong for the greater good.
"Lily!"
Dr.Blanc called her name in a deep voice and took two steps forward.
"Itâs my fault for not telling you in advance, but you canât blame me.Werenât you aware that Mr.Russell had gotten infected with the virus? "You knew from when he was back from Burnkwen, and you even took safety measures to transfer him to this hospital.However, youâve never informed us or reported the case.Arenât you being selfish? Have you trusted us?"
Lily pursed her lips and did not answer.She could not deny what Dr.Blanc said.
Right from the start, she did not report Alexanderâs case to them so that he would not need to get transferred to the center.She admitted she was not a noble and just person.She simply wanted Alexander to stay and recuperate in a safe and comfortable place, and since they had not developed a cure yet, it was pointless to transfer him to the center.
However, considering the matter from a different standpoint, she could understand what Dr.Blanc meant.
From the perspective of someone working at the center, what Lily did was too selfish.
As she could not reconcile the conflict of interest, she handled the matter from a wifeâs standpoint.
