The two looked at each other without saying a word, and the atmosphere turned awkward."You…" Lily didn't know what to say as she looked at Olivia. "What are you doing?"Olivia did not reply."Are you following me?"Silence followed again as Olivia did not speak. Seeing her drooping head and worried face, Lily sighed. "Is this about Edward?"Only then did Olivia look up at Lily and ask, "No. Is Mr. Russell back?"Lily was astounded. Instead of asking about Edward, Olivia was asking about Alexander. Lily pursed her lips and frowned slightly. "Yeah. What's wrong?""Can I see him?" Olivia asked."No!" Lily refused in an instant. The only reason behind it was because of Alexander's current physical condition. He should see as few people as possible.She even kept his return a secret from his mother for fear that she would come and visit him at the hospital if she knew about it. At her age, it would be terrible if she also caught the plague. It was only right to take precautions be
"What if you have to choose?!" Olivia was weirdly stubborn today. She had always been a mellow person. It was out of character of her to persist. "If he and I were to have a conflict and were on different sides, who would you choose? What if…what if we become enemies…"The more she spoke, the more anxious and angrier she became."You won't become enemies!" Lily interrupted. "I won't let the two of you become enemies! You're not an unreasonable person, and neither is he. If there comes a day when you two have a conflict, I will help solve the misunderstanding.“You two are the most important people to me. How can you ask me to choose?" Lily reasoned solemnly and sighed. "Olivia, I know you've been going through a lot lately, and your emotions must be all over the place, but believe me, I'll always be here to help you!"However, Olivia was not appeased by her as before. Instead, she took two steps back, shook her head, and said, "No. No, you won't. I used to think there were people o
"I'm here!" Rhea called out, coming into the living room before he could finish talking.As weird as it sounded, the manic Cameron immediately calmed down when he saw her. He did not seem as irritable and anxious as before. He was looking straight at her. "Rhea…""Uncle Cameron, I just remembered I have something to discuss with you about the lab again. I need to talk to you!" She said and walked straight into the study.With a nod, Cameron quickly followed her in.Fabian was stunned by what he saw. Just as he was about to follow them, Rhea stopped him. "This is a secret between Uncle Cameron and me!"Fabian was a little displeased to hear this. After all, he was her father, and there should be no secrets between the two. Moreover, Fabian was responsible for the vaccine development project. However, he did not dare to object.He could see that Cameron seemed to only listen to Rhea. Although Fabian did not know what trick she pulled on him, it did not matter. As long as it benefit
Although the study door was closed, Anastasia was not satisfied. She trotted up to the study to try and eavesdrop on them.However, the door was pulled open as soon as she reached it. Rhea stood at the door with her arms crossed, casually looking at her. "Why won't you listen to your father?"Then Rhea turned her head to look at Cameron. "Uncle Cameron, what do you think we should do?""Get out!" Cameron yelled at Anastasia with a livid face."Dad, is she threatening you? Why are you acting like this? I'm Tasia, your daughter!" Anastasia looked at him desperately.‘Rhea must’ve hypnotized him! That’s the only explanation!’ Anastasia wanted to snap him out of it. ‘I can’t let it go on like this!’Rhea, on the other hand, seemed unconcerned. She turned around and smiled faintly. "I'm not in a rush."This seemed to trigger something in Cameron. He suddenly grabbed Anastasia by the hand before forcefully dragging her out. Although she was heavy, he wasn't just any man. His muscular
"Cameron Rollins," he replied dully."Then, who am I?" Rhea pointed to herself with a slight smile.After staring at her for a few seconds, Cameron replied, "Master.""No. I want you to call me Rhea, okay? I am your master, and you must listen to my orders, but outside, you must call me Rhea. Understand?" She emphasized, staring into his eyes.He nodded mechanically. "Understood.""Great!" Rhea was delighted. Then she began to repeat her instructions to him. After an hour or so, the two finally came out of the study.Fabian, who had been waiting outside, had already fallen asleep as he lay sprawled on the sofa, snoring. Suddenly a voice called out, "Fabian Moore!"It sounded like thunder.Fabian jolted up and rolled off the sofa. When he got up and saw Cameron calling him, he quickly wiped the drool from his mouth and grinned. "Ron!""Tell your men to get ready to start on the base. Rhea and her labmates will relocate soon. The project waits for no one. It must be done as soon
"Happy? Happy that you managed to turn my father through your vicious and evil means?" Anastasia retorted with her back turned. She didn't want to see Rhea's smug face. "If that's the case, you could say I’m surprised. I didn't expect the cousin I grew up with to be such a person."Rhea didn't seem affected by her sarcasm. Instead, she still grinned and said, "Well, whatever goes! The law of this world is simple. The strong prey on the weak. Don't you understand? The stronger you are, the more you get. Power is the most real thing you can get!""Really? Do you think you deserve power?" Anastasia sneered. Her tears had dried up at this point."Whether I deserve it or not is not up to you to decide. Uncle Cameron, Tasia is bewitched by that woman, Lily Christian. She's acting up. I think you should teach her a lesson," Rhea said as she turned to CameronHearing this, Anastasia shuddered. Although her heart was shattered after what her father did, she was still keen on hearing what he
"I’ll pick you up as soon as I finish work. You…" Mike paused for a while before continuing, "You must learn to take care of yourself while I’m not there, okay? You're growing up, you know?""I know!" Nick nodded obediently. "Daddy, you should take care too!"This sentence was almost the last straw for Mike. He suppressed the pain in his heart and said, "Nicky, you—"Before he could finish talking, the screen flashed and suddenly went blank."Nicky?! Nicky!" He sprung to his feet and jumped toward the screen. However, it was no use. All he could see was his own reflection."Mike Corden, the time has come," a cold and piercing voice sounded. The man came out from the darkness, still holding the remote. "I've already done what I promised. I hope you won't break your promise to me."Mike slapped the screen as if he could save his son this way. "Let my son go! He's just a child! He doesn't understand anything! I’ll do whatever you want me to do!"The man chuckled. It was horrifying
"How is he?" Although Lily had asked the doctor, Greg had been here the whole night. He would be more aware of what was going on."Unconscious," His answer was simple and straightforward.Alexander was still unconscious, but nothing seemed to have worsened. He was just in a coma.Lily stretched out her hand, took off her glove, and checked his pulse. Although it was stable, it was weak. It meant that his body was still weak and unstable, but the toxin seemed to have gotten cleared from his body.The toxin of this poison was strange. Sometimes, it was undetectable. At first, Lily did not understand it and thought the toxin had cleared up from Alexander’s body. She only realized Alexander was not entirely free from the toxins when he got sick again.Instead, the toxin was just momentarily suppressed. In other words, it had a life of its own. The toxin knew when to hide and when to attack again.Lily withdrew her hand as she took mental notes. After disinfecting her hand and putting
