Chapter 1538
He looked normal even after taking off the mask. Other than his pale complexion, he did not seem any
different. He was just a little weak.
The plague had spread so quickly and fiercely, but there seemed to be nothing serious about
contracting the disease.
According to the news, those infected would be coughing non-stop, and those with severe symptoms
might even cough up blood alongside other unknown symptoms. However, looking at Alexander, it
wasn't as serious as it sounded.
"Stick out your tongue!" She ordered again.
Alexander was taken aback for a moment before he laughed. "Look at you! You're quite thorough!"
"Enough nonsense! Stick out your tongue!" Lily had a solemn look on her face, looking like an
extremely strict doctor.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith a doting smile, Alexander obediently cooperated with her and stuck out his tongue.
His tongue seemed to be covered in a thick layer of mucus with tooth marks on the edge and white
patches in the middle.
After studying medicine with Dominic for so many years, this was the first time Lily tried diagnosing a
person. In the past, she rarely had the opportunity to consult patients. She could only follow Dominic
around and learn by observation.
Later, the only time she treated someone was for a minor ailment. It was nothing as serious as the
plague this time. She probably wouldn't have bothered if it weren't for Alexander.
"How is it? Can you save me?" Alexander said haIf-jokingly as he noticed her straighten up with a
serious expression on her face.
"How did you get the plague? Do you feel discomfort anywhere else?" Lily did not joke around as she
sat down beside him and asked gently.
The smile on his face froze. He couldn't recall. "I'm not quite sure. After going over to Burnwken, I
hardly went anywhere else. I spent most of my time in the factory and had no contact with outsiders.
‘You know the situation there. With the ongoing war, it's not safe for me to go out. One day, people in
the factory began to start coughing. Some had fevers, and most of them felt lethargic. I also began to
feel that something was wrong with me."
"So, this happened without warning?" Listening to what he said, Lily felt that it was similar to what she
had heard from the news. However, she wanted to hear his experience firsthand rather than through
the media.
"Yeah! Later, my symptoms became a little serious, and I couldn't get out of bed. The war blew up
telecommunications in the area, and I couldn't get in touch with you. Did I make you worry?”
At this time, he still thought about how he must have made her worry. Lily quickly shook her head. "It's
fine! So, how did you get here?"
"It was a coincidence. I knew Greg a while back and gave him this place. I didn't think I'd be needing it
now." He sighed. Everything had to be arranged in secret.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLily was surprised. "You gave this to him?"
"Yeah." Alexander nodded. "I discovered this place by accident when my master took me here to train.
However, this wooden cabin isn't like how it was before. It was deserted. I thought that it was a good
place to isolate myself for self-cultivation. Later, I renovated it to its current state.
‘Then, I met Greg..." He paused, put one hand on his chest, and took a deep breath to calm himself
down.
Lily didn't urge him to continue but instead watched as he slowly adjusted his breathing. He closed his
eyes for a moment before opening them again once he regained his strength. "He has nowhere to go,
and he doesn't want to live in the city. This was an ideal place for him, so I thought I should give it to
him."
"So, when you came back, this was the first place you thought of when you needed a quiet place to
recuperate?" She asked.
Alexander nodded. "There are very few people here, so the risk of the plague spreading is low. It's also
relatively remote here, so it's harder for people to find me."
