The car sped to the hospital. Because they had informed the hospital beforehand, several examinations were completed quickly. Lily felt Alexander had gone overboard with the testing. All examinations were conducted, except those prohibited for pregnant women. By the time they finished, dawn was breaking.

"Judging from the results, there's nothing serious," the doctor said, reviewing the report. "She's a little tired from lack of sleep. Some reports are still pending, but there shouldn't be any problems."

Alexander breathed a sigh of relief. Lily laughed at his reaction. "I told you it was nothing. Look how nervous you were!"

"Thank God you're fine," he said, "but the doctor said you need more rest. Don't overwork yourself. Your body is your priority right now."

"I know!" Lily replied, shaking her head. She understood his concern; she was a medical doctor herself and knew her health was deteriorating. However, she couldn't ignore recent events. She wanted to rest, but couldn't help herself.

"You do?" Alexander raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"I... don't know, I guess?" Lily answered, half-jokingly. She was stubbornly childish about her own health.

"It doesn't matter whether you know it or not," Alexander said firmly. "You have to do it!" He cleared his throat and turned to the doctor. "Please issue the bill. We're staying overnight."

"What?! I'm fine! Why do I need to be hospitalized?!" Lily protested, surprising everyone.

After a light cough, the doctor said, "Your wife seems fine according to the report. She can go home and rest; hospitalization isn't necessary."

"I know my wife best," Alexander stated confidently. "If she goes home, she won't rest. Hospitalization ensures proper recuperation." He understood Lily; she'd be overwhelmed at home. She'd just uncovered secrets at the research institute, and the vaccine development situation was far more complex than it appeared. How could she simply let it go?

But Alexander couldn't bear to see her unable to sit up straight because of her pregnancy. The thought of losing her terrified him. The fate of the world, or any shadowy organizations, paled in comparison. Her health was paramount.

The doctor was speechless.

Lily held her forehead. "I'm really fine. The hospital probably doesn't have enough beds. Don't inconvenience the doctor."

"Beds aren't the problem," Alexander countered. "If necessary, we'll transfer to a private hospital. A bed is not an issue."

Sighing, Lily conceded, "Enough! I promise I'll rest when we get back. I won't go out for two days, okay?"
