"But you're pregnant!" Dr. Morris couldn't help but call out.
"What?!" This was news to Dr. Blanc, and he subconsciously glanced at her lower abdomen.
It wasn't pronounced through the heavy layers of the protective suit.
The two times Dr. Blanc had met her, she was clad in protective gear. Therefore, he could not tell that she was pregnant. On top of that, Dominic did not bring it up, which surprised Dr. Blanc further.
Lily smiled lightly. "What's wrong with being pregnant? Pregnant women are humans as well. It is precisely because I'm pregnant that I understand the importance of finding a cure for this virus. Otherwise, not only will it affect us, but it will also affect the next generation.”
After saying this, she reached out and was about to open the door.
"No!" This time, it was Dr. Blanc who stopped her. "I can't let you take the risk."
"If I can't take the risk, are you saying that the rest of you can?" Lily looked at him and questioned. "I'm sure everyone knows the danger of this virus, yet they're all taking risks. Why is that? Because this risk could be exchanged for the lives of people across the country. Everyone has their own friends and family that they don't want to hurt.
With my capabilities, I won’t shy away from the virus. Dr. Blanc, you reached out to Mr. Fike because you trusted his skills when it came to this. I believe you've looked for other traditional practitioners as well, but since I'm the one here now and we've reached a consensus, I will not back away. I've signed an agreement."
"But…"
Dr. Blanc knew she was right, but he was still hesitant to let a pregnant woman be exposed to the virus.
