Chapter 1565
After walking a few steps, she turned around and said, "Don't cook the leeks for lunch."
The man nodded. Without saying a word, Lily headed down to the basement.
Alexander was not coughing as badly anymore. Lily was right. He was indeed getting better, and his
mental state was improving as well. After checking his pulse, Lily found that his body condition was not
as severe as she had imagined.
The troublesome part was that this virus was rather cunning. Alexander's pulse would be stable, and
everything would be normal during the day.
However, his cough would flare up at night.
That was the first time Lily had encountered such a disease since she started studying medicine. She
did not find anything like it in old medical books either. She concluded that this was a new virus and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas undoubtedly linked to the experiments in the laboratory.
"Drink this." She handed the bowl to Alexander. After taking off his mask, he quickly finished the bowl
without complaint.
The medicine was very bitter. Lily had taken a sip herself, so she was full of admiration when she saw
him drink without a change in his expression. In the end, she stuck out her tongue in disgust.
"How long do I have to take this?" Alexander looked up at her and consciously put on his mask again.
"Hmm... Three..." After thinking for a while, she said, "Five...seven to eight days!"
Alexander knew Lily was teasing him as he shot her a playful glare. If it were not for this disease, he
would have pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
Lily burst into laughter when she saw his unhappy and helpless eyes. Then she said, “I'm kidding. Your
pulse seems to have stabilized now, and you don't get as many seizures as before. I think you'd need
another two or three days before fully recovering. However, this virus is peculiar. I think I'd have to
observe you a little more."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, my miracle doctor!" He teased as he gently stared at her dotingly.
Her cheeks immediately turned red. "Whatever! By the way, is there any news about Edward?"
Edward had always been lingering in her mind. Olivia must be worried sick. On top of that, now that Lily
was with Alexander, she was afraid that
Olivia’s mind would begin to run wild if Lily did not check on her from time to time.
Alexander shook his head lightly without saying a word. His face dimmed as well.
The thought of a wounded Edward being in a foreign country was depressing. In such a chaotic
situation, the probability of him surviving was low.
Even so, they continued to hope. They did not want to believe Edward was dead. As long as they had
not discovered a body and there was no definite news of his death, Alexander would have people
searching high and low for Edward.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Are you men still looking for him in Burnwken?" Lily asked again after a while.
Alexander nodded. "Yes. They've also branched out to other places, including nearby villages and
towns. They even searched in the next
district. All my employees in Burnwken have used up all the resources they could gather. They
searched everywhere, even in some tiny streets around Burnwken. It's like finding a needle in a
haystack!"
Upon hearing this, Lily frowned, seeming like she was holding back her words.
"What's wrong?” Alexander asked when he noticed her confusion.
"Do you think he may have already returned to the country?" She could not help but ask.
"Return here?"
Lily nodded affirmatively. "Think about it. You're already back here. If he were alive, it would be risky if
he continued staying abroad. On top of that, you and Olivia are around here. What good does he have
to continue staying out there? He’ll find his way back to us!"
