Chapter 1682


    "He’s doing something!"


    He turned and walked out of the door with Lily in tow.


    The workers were surprised to see Lily walking behind Dr.nc along the way.


    "Isn’t Dr.Russell..."


    However, as they were walking fast without stopping and Dr.nc looked grim, no one dared to ask


    any questions and simply looked on as they headed toward the wards.


    ‘Is there...an emergency again? But we’re not getting any alerts from the wards!’ While the doctors and


    nurses wondered, Dr.nc and Lily had arrived at the VIP ward area.They hurried past the door to


    Debbie''s room and headed straight to...Alexander’s room.Dr.nc mmed the door open with such


    force and speed that even Lily was taken aback.


    ‘He usually looks gentle and cautious, yet the way he kicked the door was bold and fearless"


    Alexander, who should be lying in it, was holding someone face- down on the bed with his arms locked


    behind him.He was wearing the hospital gown, but he was invigorated, and his gaze was cold and

    piercing.


    However, when he looked up and saw Lily, his gaze grew soft for a second before it turned to Dr.nc.


    "You''re here.I''ll leave him...to you then."


    He pulled the man up by his arm and turned him around, pushing him forward.


    Losing his bnce, the man lurched forward and half-knelt on the floor.He was still wearing his white


    coat.


    Although he lowered his head, they could see who he was.


    Seeing the man half-kneeling in front of him, Dr.nc was overwhelmed with shock and unprepared to


    believe it.


    "It’s truly you!"


    The man stood up slowly and smiled as he brushed the dust off himself.


    "Dr.nc, what’s the deal with all this? I’m here to see how the patient is doing.Who else would it be


    but me?"


    Looking up, he looked innocent, and his gaze was clear.


    However, a look of astonishment shed when he saw Lily.


    "Lily? Why are you here? Aren’t you..."


    He paused momentarily, then said as if he had realized what had happened, "Dr.nc, so you''re just


    putting on a show for Dashiell.You''ve truly taken her side."


    Dr.nc looked solemn, and his gaze was filled with anguish.


    "How long do you n to keep up with your pretense?"


    "Pretense? Dr.nc, I’ve no idea what you’re talking about."


    He casually put his hands in his pockets and shrugged.


    "Dr.nc, I was just doing my rounds and have no idea how I upset Mr.Russell just now.Perhaps there


    is a misunderstanding?"


    "Why do you think I was able to show up here so quickly?"


    Looking at him intensely, Dr.nc sounded sad.


    "You’ve let me down so much! You''re the first to join me in the department.Why? Why do you have to


    do this?"


    "You know the purpose of our department, and you know how important this project is.How could you


    attempt to sabotage it at this juncture? Edmund, why are you doing this?"


    Dr.nc’s hands slowly clenched into fists on his sides as he called out his name.
