Lily had not slept a wink for two days.She watched the medicinal concoction intently as she drew a tiny
bit and carefully fed a white mouse.
When the little creature drank it all, she put down the dropper and put the mouse back into the
observation cage.She bent over and studied it carefully.
Having remained quiet, Dr.Morris asked, despite himself, “Are you sure it’ll work for the mouse?”
Lily shook her head.
“No.”
Dr.Morris was surprised.
“It’s because I’m not sure that I’m experimenting first.How could I use it on a human being without
knowing what the result would be?”
Straightening up, Lily glanced at him, then turned to feed the other white mice.
She had familiarized herself with the virus, but it was cunning, and every person of different ages and

Therefore, to be safe and accurate, she took the virus from each of them and put it into these laboratory
mice.
She also selected different strains of mice to produce a relatively more accurate result.
She hoped that by making changes to the medicine in the mixture based on each case, she could
develop a cure and end the pandemic.
“Honestly speaking, I don’t hold much hope for your experiment to work.”
Seeing her focus on her experiment, Dr.Morris turned around and said blandly as he leaned against the
table.
“Okay.”
Lily did not bother about it.
“Even if herbal medicine works, it takes too long to get a result, not to mention that the virus mutates
quickly.Before your medicine could even take effect, the virus could have already mutated.To put it more
bluntly, it can’t keep up with the virus’s mutation speed.
Gazing at her back, Dr.Morris was not being hostile.He simply had no trust in her.
‘She’s too young! I’ve seen many skilled and famous herbal medicine practitioners who are elder and
more experienced.
To state it simply, it all comes down to the accumulation of experience.
‘It differs from mainstream medicine, where we could rely on equipment and data.
If a doctor requires experience to conduct a surgery, let alone a practitioner of herbal medicine, which is
somewhat sketchy, ‘However, as Dominic Fike has recommended her and Dr.Blanc holds him in high
regard, there is nothing much I can say as someone without an important post.Still, having no say is one
thing.Whether I would trust her, it’s another”
Lily straightened up and felt her lower back ache.She gently pestled the herbs and turned her head to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlook at him.
“Are you saying you have no faith in our project and that we won’t be able to find a cure?”
Stunned, Dr.Morris hurriedly explained, “No, I didn’t say that! I’m only saying that herbal medicine-“
“why are you so prejudiced against herbal medicine? You feel it’s not as good as mainstream medicine?”
Lily asked again.
Dr.Morris frowned.
“That’s not what I meant! I just thought that even if herbal medicine works, it takes too long to produce
results and can hardly keep up with the mutation speed of the virus.So-“
“Have I ever said that the concoction I’m making is to catch up with the speed of mutation?” Lily asked.
Dr.Morris was puzzled.
“The virus is indeed cunning and smart, not to mention it mutates rapidly and is resistant to
drugs.However, why should we try to catch up with its mutation speed? Furthermore, according to herbal
medicine, the so-called illness is simply our bodies reacting to intruding pathogens through the defense
mechanism.It manifests in our varied responses as they hurt our organs.”
