Chapter 1616
Dr.Morris was confused.
‘Can | tell her | don’t quite get it?’ "Are you saying we should do nothing and let it mutate?"
He thought about it and asked.
Lily shook her head.
"What | am saying is that herbal medicine is meant to fortify damaged organs and mobilize the defense mechanism.
Our bodies know how to protect themselves; that is why we can get well from a common cold after a few days without taking any
medicine.
That is our defense mechanism working to heal us.
"However, this virus disrupts the mechanism.The medicine I'm researching would fix it so our bodies could fight and kill the
virus."She spoke earnestly, and Dr.Morris was dumbfounded.

After a few seconds, his lips moved as he blurted out, "That's a pipe dream!"
‘It is! Would the patients still need us if there was a way to fix the defense mechanism and if our bodies could counteract the virus?
Aren't we researching medicine to fight the virus? Herbal medicine physicians are indeed unreliable.They’ re full of s*hit!"
Straightening up, he felt it was a waste of tstaying there.
"I'll look at other departments, so just do your thing.If you need anything, callthrough the nursing station."
"Alright."
Lily knew he was dismissive of what she was doing and did not bother to offer any further explanation.
‘stuff like this doesn’t need any explanation.Those who understand herbal medicine will get what | was saying, and it’s pointless to
explain to those that don’t believe in it"
After taking down her observational data, she walked out of the laboratory.She went through the infection process and saw
Dr.Blanc coming over as she returned to the communal workspace.
"Lily, how many days have you not slept?"
"Not too long."
Rubbing her eyes, she yawned despite herself.
"Not too long? Your eyes are bloodshot!"
Blanc said seriously, pulling along face, "You can’t go on like this! Although it's an urgent matter, you still need rest.If you overwork
yourself, you'll fall ill before you succeed!"
"lI understand. know what I'm doing."
Lily smiled and spoke casually.
"If you do, then go take a break! Cback after you have a good rest.You're not the only one doing experiments here."
He added, "Don't cback until tomorrow.Go."
He was not asking.
Lily wanted to say something, but he interrupted, "This is an order! We don’t want you to be part of the project if you don't
comply.Whether it's you or any other workers, we must take good care of ourselves during our battle.Got it?"

Hesitant for a moment, Lily nodded.
"Okay, I'll take a break."
"wait!"
Seeing her leave, Dr.Blanc took two steps to catch up with her.
"There's a room for you on level one.lt might not have everything you want, but there are clothes and toiletries.You'll have to make
do for the tbeing."
Lily was surprised.
"lI can’t go home?"
‘Is that what he was saying?’ Dr.Blanc nodded.
"As we have learned from several cases, the virus is highly contagious and has an incubation period.For safety’s sake, it's best not
to leave yet."
Lily was at a loss for words.
