Chapter 1685


    "Even if there is, I’m not afraid."


    Alexander’s voice was tender like his lips, which he gently pressed against her neck.


    At this moment, Lily seemed to have rxed as well.


    Having been tense for so many days, she was exhausted and had only held on through sheer


    willpower.


    Now that she rxed, she felt limp all over.


    Alexander turned his wife around to face him before looking into her eyes.


    "With a miracle doctor like you around, no matter how many times I get infected, I won’t—"


    "Knock it off!"


    Lily interrupted him with a frown.


    "Don’t jinx it, okay?"


    "when did you be so superstitious?"


    Alexander chuckled and pulled her over to sit beside him.


    Then he started to gently and meticulously massage her thighs.


    With her legs ced over hisp and his hands held loosely into fists, he gently massaged her


    difort.


    Lily struggled in vain to put her legs down and could only let him carry on.


    Since she was pregnant and had been swamped, her legs were sore and swollen.His massaging her


    made her feel much better.


    "I’m not superstitious, but the disease is tough to tackle."


    She put her hands behind her, rxed her tense body, and looked up at the ceiling.


    Jumbled thoughts filled her mind like a tangled mess.


    "Didn’t you already develop a cure?" Alexander asked.


    He had benefited from it the most.


    From feeling unwell to ending up ina critical condition, he gradually recovered until he worsened again,


    but he finally recovered.


    Lily looked at him and asked.


    "What if theye up with anew virus?"


    "Then we’ll counter it with a new cure," Alexander answered after some thought.


    However, Lily shook her head.


    "One virus is causing us enough trouble, and the economy over at Burnwken haspletely copsed.


    It hasn’t be a huge disaster here since we''ve taken timely precautions and adopted swift and


    appropriate measures. If there’s a new virus, it would be unthinkable!"


    Alexander noticed her worried expression, stopped, and gently put down her legs.


    Then he wrapped his arm around her shoulders.


    "Why are you so worried? You shouldn’t think about these things.


    "There are no burdens to bear.You''re an outstanding physician, but there are many other doctors.Don’t


    give yourself so much pressure!"


    "I’m not worried, but when a pandemic breaks out, no one can escape it."


    Lily sighed and leaned her head on his shoulder.


    "Still, you’re right! There’s no need to bear the burden since I know I can’t save the world.


    "I only joined this ce to save you and protect those around me.Now that we’ve found a cure, it’s time


    for us to leave."


    She looked up and nced around.


    Although she had everything she needed, staying there was like being in prison.


    The only difference was that the center was rtively cozier and friendlier.


    It had been too long since she breathed fresh air and enjoyed warm sunlight.

    ‘I wish so much to take a walk outside!’ "You can leave?"


    Alexander naturally was d to hear the news, but...


    "about Edmund..."


    After a pause, he asked, "How did you know it was him?"


    Although he took part in the trap, he had no idea when Lily discovered the culprit was Edmund.
