Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1588

Based on what they said, Lily grew slightly relaxed as she felt they might not know about Alexander and had not come for that.

“I’m sorry, I haven’t come in contact with the pandemic disease, so I don’t know much about it. Besides, mainstream doctors have done a more thorough and professional job researching the virus. I don’t think I can be of much help.” She smiled and spoke apologetically.

Dr. Morris went straight to the point, “That’s not the case. Although we’re doctors, we don’t disregard herbal medicine. Besides, we’re here to seek cooperation. Of course, we initially wanted to ask Mr. Fike to join us, and it would be best if he could.”

He looked toward Dominic. It was clear he did not take Lily seriously.

Dominic said he would introduce them to his last apprentice, who could be of help, claiming she was as good as him. Therefore, they had high expectations and were surprised to discover that she was such a young woman.

‘Since it’s widely known, it takes many years of experience to be good in herbal medicine. How experienced and outstanding can such a young woman be? Mr. Fike shouldn’t have recommended his apprentice just to create an opportunity for her. We’re in a serious situation!’

Thinking so, Dr. Morris looked at Dominic and said, “Mr. Fike, your apprentice also feels she’s unqualified. How about if you…”

“Me?” Dominic enjoyed being an outsider. He was taken aback by what Dr. Morris said and frantically waved. “N-No, I’m old and not up to the task! Look, I don’t leave my house and only stay in my small estate. What can I do? I can’t help you with anything!” He shook his head vigorously.

He had not broken this rule for so many years and did not want his carefree life disrupted.

‘Besides, what happens when the pandemic is over if I break the rules? Will people continue inviting me to other programs and activities using different excuses?’

Dr. Morris wanted to say something, but Dr. Blanc pressed his arm. It was only then he said, “Do you genuinely know nothing about the pandemic disease?”

“How would I know about the disease if I haven’t been in contact with it?” Lily smiled casually, determined not to let him know what had happened to Alexander.

However, Dr. Blanc’s sharp and wise eyes glinted behind his face shield as if he could gaze through everything, including her pretense.

Although Lily could not see his expression because of his hazmat suit, she could sense his meaningful and cunning smile.

“If you know nothing about it, why are you wearing a hazmat suit?” Dr. Blanc asked blandly. Although it was a seemingly simple question, it exposed her lie.
