If Lily had died, all his efforts would have gone to waste, and there would have been no way to proceed with the last phase of R10.

"Your Grace..."

The doctors were curious about why the wires and tubes were removed.

"Get out," Fred said grimly.

"Your Grace-"

"Out!" The duke exploded in rage.

The doctors quickly darted out of the room, leaving them alone once again.

Fred turned to his bodyguard. "You too!"

Taken aback, the bodyguard hesitated, then did as told.

Dominic sat beside the bed and gently held Lily's wrist, trying to take her pulse. Fred once witnessed a pulse-taking before and knew how remarkable it was. Although it was hard to comprehend it from the viewpoint of mainstream medicine, it had somehow proven effective.

"Leave us," Dominic said coldly, throwing Fred a sidelong glance.

Fred was reluctant. "You can save her, right?" He wanted to know for sure.

For the past two days, the doctors had told him that there was no cure for Lily, so he did not have high hopes and was in a terrible mood.

"I can't guarantee that. Everyone has their own-"

Fred held up a hand to stop him. "Okay, okay, I get it! Everyone has their own destiny, but I don't believe in destiny. I only believe in myself, and I believe you'll be able to revive her."

He gazed at Lily, then turned and walked toward the door. "I'll do as you say, but you better live up to your reputation." He exited the room.

Left alone with Lily, Dominic held her hand gently and saw her wrist was so thin and pale that he could almost see the veins. She had been through so much. She had suffered when she was pregnant, and even after she had given birth, her torment did not end.

'Why do you put yourself through this, Lily?'

Dominic felt like giving her an earful. However, he knew that if Lily was awake, she would surely outargue him.

"You little brat!" Dominic scolded quietly and focused on taking her pulse.
