“Okay...” Lily mumbled. She was fine, perfectly fine. Melanie was restless. She was worried about the
theme for the finals. Frank was not able to reveal any information to her.
According to him, he could not obtain information about the finals as it was decided personally by the
specific judge, and it was most likely Mr. Parker. The organizers did not release this piece of
information, so Frank was not sure who exactly was the judge for this round.
Thus, he could not use his connections to get the theme beforehand. Without this key information,
Melanie had no confidence in winning the round. More accurately, she was just like a student who
would flunk an exam if she could not cheat.
Soon enough, she would only embarrass herself in front of the whole country. She needed to look for
Frank to discuss their next plan. Even if she could not win the championship, she would not allow Lily,
that b* tch, to win. However, she had been knocking on Frank’s door for a while, yet no one was there.
Melanie tried calling him, but he did not pick up as well. She was feeling more and more uneasy as
time went by. Her gut feeling was telling her that something was wrong.
“Aside from some minor cuts, she’s fine,” The doctor told Alexander as he took off his stethoscope.
“Really?” Alexander was still skeptical. Even though he wanted Lily to be healthy and fine, he could not
let his mind rest in peace if she was not given a thorough check.
“Mr. Russell, rest assured I’ve given Mrs. Russell a detailed check, and everything seems normal. If
Mrs. Russell is still not feeling well, I suggest doing an in-depth CT scan or...an MRI.”
“No, No, I’m okay, thank you!” Lily said immediately, “I’m not feeling unwell.”
The doctor gave Alexander an “I told you so” look. Alexander finally gave in and nodded, “Did you take
a look at the other lady?”
“Yes, I did. The drug is almost cleared from her system, and she would be able to regain her
consciousness in a few minutes. If you’re still not convinced, we could give her a detailed check after
she’s awake,” The doctor clarified while stealing a few confused glances at Lily, “Erm...”
“Is there something wrong?” Alexander asked urgently after he noticed the doctor looking at Lily. His
heart skipped a beat as he started to worry again.
“It’s nothing, really,” The doctor shook his head but decided to voice his concerns after giving it some
thought, “Mrs. Russell and Ms. Schmidt both had been drugged, right? Strangely enough, I couldn't
detect any form of the residue of the same drug in Mrs. Russell’s body.”
Lily was silent for a moment and smiled, “Maybe it’s because my body’s metabolism rate is excellent.
That's why you weren’t able to find anything? Didn’t you say that the drug in Giselle’s system was
almost cleared too? Maybe my system was just stronger than hers.”
The doctor hesitated but soon nodded in agreement, “It’s not entirely impossible. This also means you
have a faster metabolism rate than a grown man.”
“I guess. I’m not sure as well,” Lily showed the doctor her best innocent smile. The doctor tilted his
head aside and stared at her for a while. Then, he probably accepted that fact and left the room without
saying anything else. Alexander sat beside her and studied her carefully before asking again, “Are you
really sure you’re okay?”
