"For now, let's put Natalia's matter aside." Alice paused and leaned closer to him. She lowered her voice and asked solemnly, "Is there really no other way?"
"What? I don't understand what you mean."
"Although you may not be famliar with Youyou's situation, I've mentioned him to you before. But…"
"Oh, I understand now. You're asking me to join you in coming up with a cure for the boy."
"Uh huh…"
"But you don't seem to trust me very much. You see, you've never even shown me the boy's detailed medical report." Romanka looked at her calmly, probing.
Alice took a deep breath. "There's no way I'm going to show you the boy's medical report," she said firmly.
Instead of getting angry, Romanka laughed. "Look, if you're not willing to tell me about his health situation, how can I collaborate with you on a treatment?"
