Even after nudging her with his cane, Lily remained still. Fred grew alarmed as the tip of his cane was slightly sharp, which should
have stung her. He shook her, shouting, "Lily?! Lily!"
Realizing she was not faking it and might be asleep or dead, he yelled, "Geta doctor, stat!"
Since guards were outside, they soon fetched several doctors. They anxiously gathered while Fred pointed to Lily in the bed,
flustered despite himself. He could not afford to let her die now since he still needed her body.

He wanted to use her to at least test if R10 would work.
'It would be such a pity if she dies now. All my efforts would go to waste. No, | can't let her die now!" Fred thought.
He grabbed a doctor's collar and shouted, "You must save her!"
Knowing his bad temper, the doctor nervously said, "She's not dead yet, Your Grace! She's just passed out. However, her readings
are worsening—"
Fred impatiently pulled him up by his collar. “So?”
“This is a bad sign. Lily could be dying..." The doctor did not want to say it, but Fred gave him no choice.
"She's dying?" Fred stared at Lily in disbelief.
'Why would he say that? She's still breathing, isn't she?"
"She was fine two days ago. Why is she dying now?" He was unconvinced. "What's wrong with her?"

The doctor's teeth clattered as he stammered, "I-| have no idea. However, the readings show her blood pressure and heart rate are
abnormal. Her heartbeat, especially, is so slow that it looks like it's about to stop at any time. There's no doubt that she's dying!"
Although he was afraid, he had to tell the truth. If not, Fred might kill him if Lily suddenly died.
"Her heartbeat is stopping?" Fred let the doctor go and turned to look at the heart rate monitor. Indeed, it was dangerously slow.
"Why is it so slow? Can't you just give her sstimulation?" he suggested.
The doctor waved no. "We can't! If we do, she might not be able to take it. Besides, she's in a coma!"
'How do | stimulate someone still in a coma?’ he thought.
