Chapter 1665

"I’ll see to it," Dr.Blanc said, "How do you know she got poisoned?"

Having asked that, he felt it was redundant as a herbal medicine practitioner could determine many hidden problems by taking one’s wrist pulse.

"Then who do you think could've poisoned her?" He asked again.

Lily shook her head.

"I’m unsure and don’t want to jump to conclusions.However, it’s a serious problem.Whoever the person is, what is their goal? What motives do they have? It’s too dangerous having someone like that around here."

"You're right." Dr.Blanc nodded and turned to Edmund.

"What do you think?"

"I think Dr.Russell is correct.Whoever the person is, we must catch them! I never expected anyone like that to be hiding among us.It’s truly horrible."

Dr.Blanc was thoughtful.

"Then about the poisoning..."

"Debbie will be fine.I fed her the antidote, which should be able to counteract the poison very soon,"

Lily explained.

Taken aback, Edmund asked, "That was for the poison? Not to protect her heart?"

Lily smiled, and he caught on.

"It’s a misdirection?"

"She’s right not to tell the truth.Before determining who the culprit is, we should withhold some information."

Dr.Blanc approved her decision and admired her ability to strategize off the cuff.

"But the child doesn’t seem to be doing very well."

"She'll be fine once the antidote counteracts the poison.She would’ve gotten well by now if she hadn't gotten poisoned.Her pulse is steady and robust, and her immune system has been good enough to help her withstand the virus.

"Her condition has worsened only due to the poison’s effects," Lily paused before continuing, "I'd like to stay here for two days and wait for her recovery."

"you?"

Stunned, Dr.Blanc said without hesitation, "No! You’ve overworked yourself for too long.You won’t be able to n.ovelebook cope.I'll station someone here.We don’t need you to do this.Go and rest!"

"It’s okay.It’s just two days.If I’m not mistaken, Debbie will at least recover by tomorrow morning.I'd like to keep her company and be here when she recovers."

Lily knew he was about to speak She worried he would object and hastily added, "Besides, my husband is just next door, and it’s convenient for me to visit him.Just consider this an opportunity for me to spend time alone with him, okay?"

She half-joked, but her eyes were earnest.

Dr.Blanc looked resigned and frowned.

"You..."

"Thank you, Dr.Blanc," she said immediately.

Dr.Blanc sighed and helplessly shook his head.

"All right, just for two days.After that, you must take a proper rest!"

"I will.Not only that, I’ll take a rest and might even loaf around, okay?" Lily chuckled.

‘It’s going to be soon.Based on the latest data and potency of the concoction, I’ll be able to see the effect of the medicine in two days.By then, we’ll be able to tackle the virus.Then everyone can relax and not worry about the pandemic.We’ll also be free to go home"

However, as she had yet to confirm the outcome, she decided only to share the good news later.

"Then leave it to me to catch the culprit!"

Edmund growled, "We can't allow such a wolf in sheep's clothing to work among us!"

"Yes! We must determine who they are!"
