Chapter 1537


    At this point, it was impossible for her to back down.She pressed on the dagger pinned to her waist and


    slowly walked down.


    As she walked, she realized that there was no light on the stairs.


    Once they reached the bottom, there was a faint light source at the end.


    This was obviously a basement or a secret room.


    She did not expect such a simple wooden cabin, hidden inside the forest, to have such a room.


    It was a good ce to recuperate and hide out.


    After walking a few steps forward, she heard a slight cough, and she could immediately tell that it was


    Alexander.


    Suddenly, she became excited again and took a few more steps forward, calling out softly, "Alex?"


    Unlike what she had imagined, the inside looked like a study room with bookshelves andputers.


    There was a big bed that was properly made on one side.


    Alexander was sitting behind the desk, coughing lightly into one hand while his other held the


    mouse.He was frowning as he seemed to be looking at something on the screen.

    "You..."


    Lily was at a loss for words at the sight of him like this.


    Alexander nced at her and calmly put on the mask at the side.


    "You''re here."


    His face was calm.


    There was no hint of excitement on his face, but the light in his eyes showed how happy he was to see


    her.


    "Why are you still working when you should be resting?!"


    Lily was a little angry.


    ‘He kept telling me to care for myself, but what about him? He’s already sick, yet he’s still working"


    "I am resting.I just got up to sit here for a while," he said with a weak smile, but the two dark circles


    under his eyes said otherwise.


    "You''re always like this!"


    She shot him a re before quickly walking toward him and carefully examining his face.


    He seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and his cheekbones were more prominent.He looked haggard


    but seemed to be in good spirits.He wasn''t sluggish at all.


    Thisforted Lily a little.


    She scrutinized him for a while before suddenly reaching out to take one of his hands.


    "What are you doing?"


    Alexander was taken aback and subconsciously wanted to retract his arm.


    However, Lily had a tight grip on him.


    "Hold on!" She called out.


    "Let me check your pulse!"


    "You know how to check pulses?" Alexander could not help butugh.


    "You''ve only been in theboratory for several months and did research on medicinal herbs.When did


    you be a doctor?"


    After saying that, he began to cough.


    Lily didn''t bother to joke around with him.She checked his pulse carefully and raised her head to look


    into his eyes solemnly.


    Then she said, "Take off your mask!"


    Alexander was stunned.


    "You know what disease I''ve contracted.Although you''ve taken protective measures, I should still..."


    "Listen to me and take it off!"She wasn''t listening to him.


    "Lily..."


    "If you don''t take it off, I will pull it myself.If you identally pull mine off, all my protective measures


    would be useless!"


    She didn''t look like she was joking at all.


    Looking at her, he let out a helpless sigh before slowly taking off his mask.
