Chapter 1615


    Lily had not slept a wink for two days.She watched the medicinal concoction intently as she drew a tiny


    bit and carefully fed a white mouse.


    When the little creature drank it all, she put down the dropper and put the mouse back into the

    observation cage.She bent over and studied it carefully.


    Having remained quiet, Dr.Morris asked, despite himself, "Are you sure it’ll work for the mouse?"


    Lily shook her head.


    "No."


    Dr.Morris was surprised.


    "It’s because I’m not sure that I’m experimenting first.How could I use it on a human being without


    knowing what the result would be?"


    Straightening up, Lily nced at him, then turned to feed the other white mice.


    She had familiarized herself with the virus, but it was cunning, and every person of different ages and


    constitutions would show different changes in their wrist pulse.


    Therefore, to be safe and urate, she took the virus from each of them and put it into these


    She also selected different strains of mice to produce a rtively more urate result.


    She hoped that by making changes to the medicine in the mixture based on each case, she could


    develop a cure and end the pandemic.


    "Honestly speaking, I don’t hold much hope for your experiment to work."


    Seeing her focus on her experiment, Dr.Morris turned around and said ndly as he leaned against the


    table.


    "Okay."


    Lily did not bother about it.


    "Even if herbal medicine works, it takes too long to get a result, not to mention that the virus mutates


    quickly.Before your medicine could even take effect, the virus could have already mutated.To put it


    more bluntly, it can’t keep up with the virus’s mutation speed.


    Gazing at her back, Dr.Morris was not being hostile.He simply had no trust in her.


    ‘She’s too young! I''ve seen many skilled and famous herbal medicine practitioners who are elder and


    more experienced.


    To state it simply, it alles down to the umtion of experience.


    ‘It differs from mainstream medicine, where we could rely on equipment and data.


    If a doctor requires experience to conduct a surgery, let alone a practitioner of herbal medicine, which


    is somewhat sketchy, ‘However, as Dominic Fike has rmended her and Dr.nc holds him in high


    regard, there is nothing much I can say as someone without an important post.Still, having no say is


    one thing.Whether I would trust her, it’s another"


    Lily straightened up and felt her lower back ache.She gently pestled the herbs and turned her head to


    look at him.


    "Are you saying you have no faith in our project and that we won’t be able to find a cure?"


    Stunned, Dr.Morris hurriedly exined, "No, I didn’t say that! I’m only saying that herbal medicine-"


    "why are you so prejudiced against herbal medicine? You feel it’s not as good as mainstream


    medicine?" Lily asked again.


    Dr.Morris frowned.


    "That’s not what I meant! I just thought that even if herbal medicine works, it takes too long to produce


    results and can hardly keep up with the mutation speed of the virus.So-"


    "Have I ever said that the concoction I’m making is to catch up with the speed of mutation?" Lily asked.


    Dr.Morris was puzzled.


    "The virus is indeed cunning and smart, not to mention it mutates rapidly and is resistant to


    drugs.However, why should we try to catch up with its mutation speed? Furthermore, ording to


    herbal medicine, the so-called illness is simply our bodies reacting to intruding pathogens through the


    defense mechanism.It manifests in our varied responses as they hurt our organs."
