Lily remained motionless in the room and slowly opened her eyes after some time. Then she placed one hand on the other and examined her pulse. She sighed in relief when she found her pulse remained unchanged.
Although the secret code matched, the doctor's words and the information he had conveyed did not arouse suspicion. Still, Lily needed to double-check for caution’s sake. After all, she could not let her guard down since she was in a special place.
Even Mike, such a familiar friend, could deceive and hide things for his son’s sake, not to mention these unfamiliar strangers Lily faced now.
She got up and entered the bathroom, slowly twisting a thin piece of paper from the ring. She unfolded it and found the familiar handwriting: "I’ve found the stronghold. Wait for me!"
Although just a few simple words, Lily understood what they meant. It seemed Alexander had already found the organization’s stronghold and was preparing to rescue her. However, saving her was not a simple matter.
Alexander also needed to consider the unknown, potential viruses that might exist and spread besides rescuing Lily.
The couple knew eradicating the organization might not be the most difficult part from the beginning. The real challenge was eliminating the organization while preserving all the viruses without destruction or transmission.
Lily crumpled the note into a ball and was about to throw it into the toilet when she hesitated. Then, with a few quick hand movements, she tore the note into tiny pieces and flushed them all down the toilet.
She even flushed it several more times before turning on the tap and showering.
Lily closed her eyes and recalled the dangerous situation from earlier. It was too exhilarating as the two nurses were around, and the doctor exchanged items with her right in front of them to pass the secret code.
