Chapter 1623
"I don't understand why you couldn't tell beforehand if you're picking up Alex. Why couldn't 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. 'I understand if they discovered Alex and now want to take him away for
quarantine, but why didn't they tell me anything during such a long journey from the center?'
Dr. Blanc looked at her deeply without a word.
"Did you not tell me because you thought I wouldn't agree to it and would relocate him in advance?"
Lily guessed since she could not get an answer from Dr. Blanc.
"Lily, there's 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 didn't inform you just in case-"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Just in case?" Lily was upset. "You simply don’t trust me! If you don't, why do you want me to work for
you guys? I shouldn't even stay, should I?"
"It's not that we don't trust you, but-"
"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 they’ll take full safety measures to ensure the disease
wouldn't spread. As for transferring him, there’s 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. Don’t be
rash. We'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 don't 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 that's the
case, why couldn't you tell me right from the start? I even asked you about it on the way, yet you didn't
tell me.
"You waited until now to corner me into agreeing to it, didn’t you? If you don't 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. "It's my fault for not telling
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou in advance, but you can't blame me. Weren't 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, you’ve never informed us or reported the case. Aren't 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 Alexander's 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 wife's standpoint.
