Chapter 1620
It was a simple question, but it seemed too hard for her.
"No, I only had my mommy..." The little girl's voice was soft and yet wrenching.
Lily took a deep breath and tried to smile more naturally. "How could you only have your mommy? You
have me, and the doctors and nurses here all care about you a lot, okay?"
Hearing this, a smile returned to Debbie's face.
"Okay!"
As she nodded, two slow, noticeable trails of red liquid ran from her nose to her upper lip.
Shocked, Lily snatched a tissue from a box to wipe them off. However, the girl showed no discomfort
and stared at what she was doing with widened eyes.

and wiped the blood with another.
However, the blood soon soaked the tissue paper. She took another one to stop the flow, but the same
thing happened...
...Over and over again...
Lily pressed the nurse call button, and the medical staff soon came and were shocked to see what was
happening. Everyone hustled to bring over the equipment, antiseptic towelettes, and gauze.
After a flurry, they finally managed to stop the nosebleed, but Debbie went into a light coma.
Lily could not be of much help. She took Debbie's pulse many times and knew it was unstable and
weak, a sign of a lack of vitality. She took two steps back and saw the nurses hook her up with state-of-
the-art equipment,
It was only when Debbie's rapidly rotating eyeballs slowed, her breathing became steadier, and she
was wet with sweat on her forehead that Lily took a few steps back and went out of the room.
She felt like a huge rock was crushing down on her chest, and she could hardly breathe.
'She’s just a little girl! This virus is an insane abomination. Whether you’re a child or an older person,
you won’t be able to fight it. If we don’t hurry up, I wonder if Debbie could survive this.
'Debbie is such a good little girl and is so... pitiful.' Lily could not allow her to be tormented further by
the illness.
She went back to the laboratory. Dr. Blanc saw her solemnly go through the infection process and
stopped her as she entered. "I told you to get some rest!"
"I'm fully rested!" she said.
"You only rested for a few hours." Dr. Blanc glanced at the clock on the wall and frowned. "You’re

"I'm trying to commit as much time as possible! A few hours are good enough for me, and the patients
would suffer a lot and might even die during the same amount of time!" Lily got emotional and was on
the brink of tears. "The more time we can commit, the less they'll suffer, and the more hope they'll
have!"
"Everyone here thinks the same. Do you think you're the only person who cares about the patients and
is the only one working hard for them? Do you know that there are also people researching vaccines
out there? To defeat the virus, we're taking a two-pronged strategy!" Dr. Blanc got somewhat emotional
as well.
"Vaccines?"
