Chapter 1670
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
Letting go of Debbieâs wrist, Lily sighed in relief.She quietly left the room and went next door.
Still awake, Alexander could now move around in the ward and looked no different from a healthy person.
"Dr.Russell.Doing your rounds, huh?" He said it half-jokingly but cooperatively offered his hand.
Lily gave him a sidelong glance.
"You look well.You should be able to leave tomorrow."
"I do? But I feel I canât." Alexander raised his brow as she took his wrist pulse.
No matter how often she did it, she was always serious.Her fingers lingered a bit longer on purpose.She let go, and her tense look visibly relaxed while her eyes sparkled with relief.
"Youâve fully recovered, and your wrist pulse is steady.Since everything is normal, you should leave tomorrow, okay?"
Alexander stepped forward, held her around her waist, and gently pulled her close.Lily hastily held him back by pushing his chest with one hand.
"Don't..."
"But I canât bear to leave you.What should I do?" He looked down at her somewhat tired eyes, wishing to kiss her.n.ovelebook Although she did not say it, he saw how hard she worked daily and wondered if she could cope physically.
"I canât bear to see you go either, but Iâm at the final stage of researching the cure, and itâs the most crucial moment.We have to stick it through." She sighed and spoke softly.
"Sometimes I truly donât appreciate you being so responsible," Alexander said, somewhat resigned.
Lily pouted.
"Sometimes I donât either, but I canât just let it go."
"What happened to the little girl?"
He heard a commotion but did not go and check it out due to the particular circumstance they were in.All he knew was that people were arguing.
"Her condition got worse a bit, but weâve stabilized it." Lily said softly while lowering her head.
"That's it?" Alexander looked at her, pulling her over to sit on the sofa.
"Although I couldnât hear it clearly, I heard...an argument? Was someone attacking you?"
"Not entirely me, and itâs more like a fight between mainstream and herbal medicine practitioners.It has always been so.Whenever we face a difficult problem, such a disagreement would arise."
Shaking her head, Lily felt it was a long-standing problem she could not solve alone.
âHowever, the ultimate goal of mainstream and herbal medicine is to cure the patients, and thatâs what counts"
"whatever fight it is, donât land yourself in danger, okay?"
Holding her hand tightly, he only cared about her safety.
Lily smiled.
Just as she was about to reply, something on her started to beep.She was startled, and so was Alexander.
"Whatâs that sound?â "Itâs the alarm I set.I have to go to the laboratory.The herbal medicine should be ready by now."
She let him go and got to her feet.
"Our battle should be ending soon."
Seeing her firm gaze, Alexander grew confident as well.
"Go and end it quickly! Then we'll go home, okay?"
