Chapter 1353
It must have been severe if the typically level-headed Alexander was in such a rush. However, he did
not want Lily to worry, so he did not answer immediately.
After taking a few mouthfuls of food, his restless heart calmed down." Something happened to the
factory in Burnwken. I need to go down there and check things out."
Although his tone was light, Lily knew it was bigger than what he made it up to be. Otherwise, he would
not make such a last-minute trip.
"What happened?" She asked bluntly.
Alexander immediately froze and looked at her. Knowing her temper, he let out a soft sigh before
putting down his spoon and explaining," A collective poisoning incident happened in one of the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfactories in Burnwken."
"Collective poisoning?" Lily was astounded.
It could be any sort of poisoning. It should be no big deal if it were food poisoning from eating
unhygienic or the wrong food. However, it would be a different story if it was industrial poisoning.
'What's the situation there now?" She continued to ask.
"Three have died so far."
"Died?!"
'Then this isn't a trivial matter.' Lily expected them to be hospitalized at most, not dead.
"Yeah." Alexander nodded solemnly. "I don't know the details of the situation yet, but the management
team had also gotten hospitalized. I'm going over to have a look."
Once he finished speaking, he put down his bowl and got up to leave.
"Hold up!" Lily hurriedly turned to look for something in a nearby drawer.
Alexander was puzzled. Soon, Lily returned with a small vial in her hand." Take this with you."
"What’s this?" Although it looked like a small perfume vial, Alexander knew it was more than that. After
all, Lily would not have stopped Alexander and run to get him a bottle of perfume.
Lily stuffed the small vial in his palm and explained, "This is what I used when I was experimenting in
the laboratory recently. I extracted the detoxification properties of medicinal herbs into this bottle. It
might come in handy."
Alexander was both moved and amused. "I have no idea what caused the poisoning or what sort of
poisoning it is. Although this can detoxify me, it can't cure all sorts of poisoning. I appreciate it a lot,
but..."
"But you still have to bring it!" She quickly interrupted him. "Although I can't make an antidote for all the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpoisons in the world, I can detoxify someone from most of them. Don't underestimate me. I'm a
professional!"
"I know you're a professional at perfumery, but when it comes to medicinal herbs..." He knew she had
been exposed to medicinal herbs lately, but learning was one thing, and application was another.
On top of that, she had only been studying medicinal herbs for a short time. Still, it was an extensive
and profound field. However, before finishing his sentence, he met Lily’s stern look. He quickly changed
his words. "You're also a professional when it comes to medicinal herbs. I believe you!"
Lily laughed and carefully tucked the tiny vial into his pocket. "Take care. Let me know when you've
reached Burnwken."
"Okay." Alexander lowered his head and gave her a peck on the lips.
Just as he was about to leave, Lily hooked her arm around his neck and deepened the kiss fiercely.
Her actions surprised Alexander. After all, she was usually shy and reserved. It was a rare initiative, but
he willingly responded to her.
