“I don’t understand why you couldn’t tell beforehand if you’re picking up Alex. Why couldn’t you just tell me? Patient number 58? A new case? What the hell was that about?” Lily questioned Dr. Blanc as she stared at him.
She was distraught. ‘I understand if they discovered Alex and now want to take him away for quarantine, but why didn’t they tell me anything during such a long journey from the center?’
Dr. Blanc looked at her deeply without a word.
“Did you not tell me because you thought I wouldn’t agree to it and would relocate him in advance?” Lily guessed since she could not get an answer from Dr. Blanc.
“Lily, there’s no need to dwell on it. You’ve stayed at the center for quite some time and know how special and serious the disease can be. I only didn’t inform you just in case—”
“Just in case?” Lily was upset. “You simply don’t trust me! If you don’t, why do you want me to work for you guys? I shouldn’t even stay, should I?”
“It’s not that we don’t trust you, but—”
“I disagree!” Lily took a deep breath and interrupted, “Just like you said, the most professional team of medical staff is attending to Alex. I guarantee they’ll take full safety measures to ensure the disease wouldn’t spread. As for transferring him, there’s no need. Thank you, Dr. Blanc, for your good intention, but please go back!”
The bodyguards heard that, took action, and surrounded them. Suddenly, there was a stand-off, and a fight looked like it was about to break out.
Dr. Blanc seemed to have anticipated this. He heaved a long sigh and said, “Calm down, Lily. Don’t be rash. We’re only relocating Mr. Russell to the center because we can give him better treatment and study his case.
