Chapter 2281


    "Don''t talk like that. It’s not your style at all," Dominic said in an upset tone.


    Lily smiled. "It''s not your style toe here either."


    "I…" Dominic was stumped. "I-I''m just here to see what you''re up to!"


    Lilyughed.


    Embarrassed, Dominic waved his hands. "Okay, okay. I only came to see how you were doing. You


    really enjoy teasing me, huh? Feeling all better now?"


    "Yeah, I do." Lily let out a sigh, then saw the needles were yet to be removed and tried to pull them out.


    "Stay still!" Dominic removed the needles and continued, "I was shocked to learn that you suddenly


    went into aa. When I heard that your heart was so slow that it was on the verge of stopping, I


    knew you…" Pausing, he nced at her and did not finish his sentence.


    "How could you do this to yourself?" he told her off as he shook his head.


    "You know why I did it."


    He snapped, "I don''t. "You''re not Mother Teresa. You shouldn''t have gotten involved in the first ce!"


    Lily could not see his face as he was looking down, but she could hear the anger in his voice.


    "I''m not, but they''re targeting me," Lily said helplessly.

    Dominic fell silent. He knew she was right, but he felt frustrated at being unable to help her. Keeping his


    head down, he put the needles away. "I''ve done for you what I could. Anyway, how did you manage to


    obtain that item?"


    He was talking about the drug that could induce simted death. When Fred came and told him about


    Lily''s condition, he had suspected this. After examining her, he grew even more convinced.


    In theory, it involved using drugs to induce a state of paralysis that slowed down one’s heart rate,

    making it appear as if the person was on the brink of death. In the past, when medical equipment was


    not as advanced, people might have mistaken such a state for actual death.


    Even with today''s technology, it would be challenging to find out what was wrong with Lily. The doctors


    did not know what to do because they had never encountered this situation before.


    Having not seen Lily for a long time, Dominic came to confirm his suspicions and to find out how she


    was doing.


    "I…" When Lily was about to answer, she noticed something and grabbed his hand. "Let me see your


    face, Dom."


    He tried to pull his hand away, frowning. "What are you doing?"
