Chapter 1684


    However, ck blood flowed from Edmund''s mouth as he released an eerie smile of mixed


    emotions.His body went limp and would have slumped onto the floor if Alexander had not held onto his


    arms.


    "Edmund!"


    Lily was shocked.She did not expect him to attempt to kill himself without hesitation.

    ‘Why?!’ He raised a finger and looked up at Lily.


    He said haltingly, "I would have seeded if I took one more step!"


    Lily looked back at him and asked grimly, "Your goal is not just to destroy all possible cures but to make


    people lose hope and think the disease is incurable, right?"


    Edmund threw her an odd look and moved his lips as if to say something, but the poison took effect


    quickly.Before he could say anything, his body stiffened, and his head drooped aside.


    "He’s dead."


    Checking his breath, Alexander checked Edmund’s breath before looking up and delivering two words.


    The other two were stunned.


    Lily gazed deeply at Edmund, then looked to Dr.nc.


    "He..."


    "I''ll take care of it.All I want is to make sure of something!"


    Dr.nc furrowed his brow.


    Lily knew what he meant.


    "Rest assured, we’ve developed a cure using herbal medicine, and I guarantee it''ll work! Also, for


    convenience’s sake, I’ve made them into pills."


    "Are you sure there won’t be any problems with the medicine?" Dr.nc asked again.


    He had seen the results and often discussed Lily’s medicine with several senior herbal medicine


    practitioners.He concluded it would work but wanted to ensure nothing would go wrong.It was so


    important that they could not afford to make the slightest mistake.


    "No! I can vouch for it with my life!" Lily said, pointing at her head.


    Dr.nc breathed and nodded before going to the door to call for someone to carry out Edmund’s


    body.


    Then he turned around to look at Lily.


    "It has been hard on you two for the past few days.Have a good rest."


    Lily nodded slightly and gazed after him as he left.


    Before she could turn around, Alexander held her tightly from behind and breathed warmly by her ear.


    Although they were not newlyweds, he had not had the chance or mood to hold her close due to the


    disease, him getting treated, and whatnot.


    Lily cocked her head and said softly, "Cut that out! Don’t forget where we are, okay? Although you’ re


    okay now, I can’t guarantee there’s no trace of the virus on me." She said half-threateningly, but it was


    not entirely a joke either.


    Although she hade up with a cure and Alexander had recovered, who could guarantee he would


    not get infected a second time? After all, it was a new type of virus.
