Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 1607

Dr. Blanc turned and motioned for Lily to come forward. He tapped on his keyboard, and a few data lines appeared on the monitor. Lily squinted her eyes and studied them.

"With your background in traditional herbs, we hope you can give a different insight and work with us to find a way to tackle this virus," Dr. Blanc said.

"Can I have a look at the earlier research data?" Lily added after pondering. "Especially those on the virus."

"We don't fully understand the virus," Dr. Blanc replied with a sigh. "Since it hasn’t spread domestically and we've kept it under control, we have minimal samples to study. We don't have a proper reference value."

"Why?" Lily frowned in confusion.

‘Why would there be no reference value if they managed to get a hand on a virus sample, even if it wasn’t from the main transmission chain?’

"The thing is, our recent research has found that the virus mutates and evolves very quickly, but because the samples we took are from the end of a transmission chain, the virus is relatively weak and sensitive.

“We're worried that even if we found a way to fight against this virus variation, it won’t work when we face a stronger variation."

After a pause, Dr. Blanc turned to look at her and continued, "This is why we hope to incorporate modern medicine and traditional herbs. Traditional herbs don't look at the appearance or characteristics of a virus.

“Instead, it is more focused on the body's response and one's autoimmunity. I'm not well-versed in traditional herbs, so correct me if I'm wrong." He smiled.

Lily nodded. ‘He’s right.’

Standing off to the side, Dr. Morris seemed anxious as he stepped in to try and stop him. "Dr. Blanc…"

However, Dr. Blanc waved him off and looked at Lily. "I'll take you to the patient."

Lily followed him out of the office while Dr. Morris followed closely behind. Although he seemed reluctant, Lily did not think much about it.

This plague was unusual. The contagion and transmission mode of the virus was still unknown. Since no one understood the virus well, there was no public news in the country. With limited reports going around, no one knew much about it.

Of course, the fewer people knew about it, the better. It was understandable that Dr. Morris had his scruples over this.
