Lily gazed at Alexander, seemingly sleeping on the bed. She knitted her brow tightly and observed his face while checking his pulse. She lifted her eyelids to look at him, and her expression grew somber.
Only when she let go of Alexander’s wrist did Greg ask, “How is he?”
“The virus might have mutated,” Lily said while looking at him.
“What does it mean?” Greg raised his voice. He knew little about it except that it sounded scary.
After some thought, Lily looked at Greg and said, “He can’t stay here. I have to bring him to another place.”
Greg was stunned and shook his head repeatedly. “No, Alexander said he shouldn’t leave before he gets completely well, or he would spread the disease to others.”
“It’s indeed contagious, but I’m afraid he’ll die if he stays here any longer. The virus has started to mutate. If we don’t contain it, I have no idea what it will become or whether it will mutate again. I don’t have enough resources, either. We can only save him by transferring him to a well-equipped place with enough herbs!”
Lily was serious. It was not a whimsical or willful decision. Instead, the current situation had gotten worse than she expected.
“But…” Greg scratched his head and was hesitant.
“I know you listen to him, and you’re doing this for his sake. However, the situation is different now. We’ve got to roll with the punches, okay?”
Greg was puzzled. “Huh? Roll with the lunches?”
Lily was speechless. ‘Forget it. I doubt I can make myself clear to him.’
