"I know you’re worried, but the situation isn't something you can handle," Mike replied. "Besides, you won't be able to achieve what you came here for today."Lily frowned when she heard this. "Mike, I don't know why you want to be involved with them, nor would you want to be associated with them. Regardless, shouldn't you at least think about your son? Do you want him to have such a father?"Nick's mother was already out of the picture. If his father was involved in a criminal act, what would the child think of himself when he grew up?This seemed to move Mike, and he let out a sigh. "Lily, what would you do if Galen was in danger?"“I'd do anything to save him, of course!" Lily answered without hesitation. "What if it takes your life?" "I'll give up my life for him!" She did not hesitate at all. As a mother, she was willing to give up her life for her child. "What if another person's life is involved?""I…" She paused.She would decisively give up her own life, but what a
Lily took one last look at his back and turned around, disappearing into the night.After a while, Mike slowly turned and saw that she had left before he let out a long sigh.His role as a father? Why would he stray away from his role?…Rhea was sitting in the middle of the yard. After finishing her second cup of coffee, she was starting to lose her patience. Nothing was happening at all.Her eyes began to narrow. There was no way she had made a mistake in her judgment, and Lily had already infiltrated the laboratory. There were no other ways for her to come in.On the contrary, Austin breathed a sigh of relief and stopped struggling. He did nothing more than lie down to rest and regain his strength.Time began ticking away as he lay there. He did not know what to feel. On the one hand, he was glad that Lily did not show up. On the other, he was somewhat disappointed.At this time, there was a sound of a door opening, and footsteps followed. Rhea stood up abruptly. "Who allo
Austin kept quiet the whole time, but he understood the situation. The reason Lily didn't show up was that she was warned by a man named Mike Corden.Although Austin had no idea why Mike would help Lily or what their relationship was, he felt at ease knowing that she did not sacrifice her life in vain to save him and that she did show up.He did not know how to feel. He would not even consider her his friend, yet, she was willing to come and save him, despite knowing how dangerous it might be. On the other hand, he had been…Rhea turned around, only to realize that Austin was still on the ground. Then she ordered, "Take him back and lock him up again!"Austin did not fight this time and allowed them to drag him away. …Lily removed all her equipment as soon as she reached home and took a deep breath. The tights she wore were uncomfortable and suffocating. The fact that she was carrying another human inside her was not helping.She looked at herself in the mirror and saw her s
Lily missed him like crazy. Not only that, but she was also worried about him. At this moment, all her worries and anxiety had turned into grievances, and tears filled her eyes unconsciously.Not wanting to cry, she suppressed her tears and continued to ask, "Talk to me! What's wrong with you? What happened? Why haven't you called me for the past week? Do you know that I…I've missed you so much!""Lily, listen to me." After taking a deep breath, he struggled to let out two words. "I'm back!""What?!" Lily was startled. She couldn't digest what she had just heard."What do you mean you're back? Are you home? Why didn't I see you? Are you at the company? Where are you? I'll come to find you!" With that, she stood up immediately, ready to change out of her clothes and leave.‘What did he mean by he was back? He’s in Kingsland, yet, he didn't come home? I want to see him right away!’"No, listen to me!" Alex took another breath, seemingly having a hard time breathing. Lily could feel
Lily felt her mind go blank. "W-What happened?""I can't explain it over the phone," Alexander quickly answered, "Don't tell Olivia about this yet. I'm still getting someone to check on his whereabouts. You have to take good care of yourself and the children. I've sent a few more men over to protect you. You must be attentive and try to go out as little as possible. Avoid public places."He seemed to hold his breath as he spoke. He gasped for air once he finished. It was heartbreaking to hear."Alex, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Lily could not hold back her tears anymore and began to sob."Don't cry!" He tried to comfort her. "You're the strongest person I know. I'm fine. Don't cry! As long as you take care of yourself, I'd feel much better. I'll be back soon. Don't be scared!""Then tell me what's going on." Then a thought about Burnwken flashed across her mind. "Did you catch the plague?" To her surprise, she once again heard only silence.Alexander did not speak but
"Are you in…Kingsland’s city area?" Lily asked cautiously."No," Alexander answered her with certainty."Got it." She had already guessed that he would not be near the city. After all, if he had contracted the disease, it would be better to recuperate in a place far away from people. That was just a question to confirm her assumptions."Take care of yourself. The kids and I are fine. Don't worry!" Lily urged. She did not want to nag him anymore. What he needed the most right now was rest. It was heartbreaking to hear him cough and wheeze like that.She was thankful that he was safe and that he had returned. It was a great relief for her. At least she could put her plans to fly to Burnwken to rest for the time being.However, something happened to Edward. It was hard for her not to tell Olivia about it.…In life, the more one wanted to avoid something, the more it would show up. Olivia came early the following day. She brought a big backpack with her as she stood downstairs wait
At this time, Olivia didn't want to sit down and chat. She was anxious. "Lily, did... did something happen?"Tears began to well up in her eyes as she tried to hold them back. She looked like she could break at any second."No! Nothing happened!" Seeing her like this, Lily decided not to tell her about Edward yet. Instead, she reached out to grab Olivia's hand to give her some support. "I have something to tell you, but you can't get too riled up, okay? Otherwise, I won't be able to tell you."Olivia had a bad premonition in her heart, but her trust in Lily made her nod. "Okay, I'll listen. I'll listen to whatever you say. I'll accept anything you tell me."Although Olivia's face seemed calm, Lily could feel that she was trembling unconsciously as she held onto her hand.Lily's grip tightened as she softly said, "They're back." "Who?" Olvia was taken aback for a moment but quickly realized what Lily meant. Her eyes sparkled. "Really?! They're back?! Where are they? Why didn't th
“Alex called me last night, telling me that he had come back, but he couldn’t return home yet because there were still some things he needed to settle. He told me not to worry too much about it.“As for Edward, I didn’t have the chance to speak to him. Plus, I was in a rush, and I didn’t think of asking that question. I’ll make sure to ask Alex this the next time he calls me, okay? I promise!” Lily comforted.However, she was only telling half the truth. It was true that she did not think of asking Alexander the question, but Edward was not there at the time.As Lily’s words sounded true and there was no problem with the story, Olivia did not have any doubts about it and trusted Lily naturally. Nodding, she said, “Okay! Then you must ask on my behalf the next time.“If he lost it due to his carelessness, I’ll teach him a lesson when he’s back! We promised each other to keep our rings safe when we got married. How could he lose it this way? I’m starting to doubt his combat skills no
