Austin glanced at her but said nothing. He had no energy."Shall I continue?" She asked."It's up to you." It was rare to hear such words from his mouth.In the past, he had always doubted Lily. Even when he was starting to see her capabilities, he still found ways to argue with her. That was his only way to show his knowledge and abilities.When his life was at stake, his doubts about her disappeared. He had seen what Lily was capable of, so Austin decided to follow his gut and trust her.Lily pursed her lips, put on her mask, and went to get the needles.Dominic had brought a fogging machine and began to disinfect the room. No one spoke. The only sound in the room was the spraying of the disinfectant.Austin found this a little strange. He was poisoned, not infected with the virus. Why was Dominic disinfecting the room? However, at this moment, Austin did not want to ask any more questions, so he closed his eyes again.The warmth in his body gradually faded away. The cough ha
Since Dominic had said so, Austin hoped that he would be able to relax.He had not had a good night's sleep in a long time. On top of the time he was imprisoned, he had not slept peacefully for a long time, even after returning, because of the physical torture he would experience.The four hours of sleep he had just had were the best he had ever had. When he woke up, he felt much more refreshed."Okay, I trust you!" Austin nodded.With that, the old man got up to check his pulse and pondered for a while before he turned around and left without saying a word. Dominic washed and disinfected his hands downstairs before going to the backyard.It was already dark, but the backyard was brightly lit, reflecting a sizeable herb garden, which looked beautiful and serene.He walked over to the flower section and saw his apprentice squatting down among the herbs. Her stomach made it inconvenient for her to squat down. Instead, she was bent over slightly as she stretched out her hands to pic
"Then…get used to it!" Lily laughed.…It was late at night.The room was quiet, and the person on the bed seemed sound asleep, breathing evenly.Suddenly, a corner of the quilt was lifted, and the man sat up. However, he didn't seem to be in a hurry. He turned his head to look at the woman beside him. When he saw that the woman was still fast asleep with her back against him, he slowly put his feet down and stood up lightly. Then he quietly walked out.As soon as he left the room, the woman on the bed opened her eyes and stared at the closed door.Amid the darkness, her clear eyes were filled with tears. She turned her head slowly and saw that the wheelchair parked beside the bed had not moved at all. However, there was no one sleeping beside her. She felt her heart slowly drop to the ground, breaking into a thousand pieces.‘He’s really lying to me! Why did he pretend to be handicapped and sit in a wheelchair when he could already walk?’Taking deep breaths to calm herself do
Lily walked into the house and sat on the sofa before answering the phone. "Olivia, what's wrong?" Lily had a suspicion in her heart that Olivia would somehow reach out to her after she and Alexander left.Olivia was not brainless. Although she loved Edward very much, Lily believed Olivia would be able to tell who was lying after the confrontation today.Olivia sounded a little rushed on the phone, panting. "Lily, Edward… he went out.""Went out? What do you mean?" Lily glanced at Alexander, who was subconsciously warming up some milk for himself. As if he could sense his wife’s gaze, he looked in her direction."He got up while I was asleep and secretly went out alone. I don't know where he drove off to. Lily, I-I'm scared!" Olivia's voice trembled as she spoke, sounding like she was about to cry. She was scared of what Edward was hiding from her. She was scared of the truth.Lily frowned and sat up slightly. "He drove out alone? Wait, isn't he injured? Doesn't he need a wheelc
“Me?” Lily did not understand and was puzzled."You told her she should be careful since she's pregnant, but what about you? Have you forgotten that you're also a pregnant woman?" Alexander spoke gently, placing one hand on her swollen belly.It pained him to see her running around like this. Apart from sharing her burden with her, there was nothing much he could do.Hearing this, Lily burst into laughter. She wanted to say she was fine but only nodded after seeing how concerned he looked. "Okay, I'll listen to you."Only then did Alexander have the peace of mind to call someone to track Edward down.Meanwhile, Edward drove the car through a majestic gate to the underground parking lot. After leaving the car, he walked toward a black jeep with its engine still running. As soon as he got into the black jeep, it drove away.…Alexander soon persuaded Lily to go to bed first. After all, no one knew when Edward would go home. The person Alexander had sent to find Edward’s whereabout
Alexander glanced at her. "The vaccine research and development base.""The vaccine…" Lily was at a loss for words for a moment. That was where she least expected Edward to be.However, it made sense that foreign cars would not be allowed in. After all, it was a heavily guarded place. No one could enter and exit at will. It only meant that Edward knew someone inside who allowed him to enter.The vaccine research and development base Alexander mentioned referred to the one Fabian had snatched from La Beaute Group’s hands. It was the project Cameron called for a rebid that tarnished him with infamy.‘Could this mean Edward, Cameron, Fabian, and Rhea are a team?’Even those unknown organizations in the previous research institute had something to do with this."I guess we can assume that someone has poisoned or controlled Edward," Lily stated after analyzing the situation. Everything was starting to make sense. The fog in her mind gradually dissipated, and she felt they were getting
"You're right!" Alexander nodded and immediately called his henchman. It turned out that other cars were coming in and out.Although it was already late at night, the vaccine development base hustled continuously to catch up with the progress. Even then, people were still going in and out of the area."Call your man back!" Lily said, "It's pointless to stay there now. Edward might not even be there. If you can't enter the base, there's no use."Alexander did not answer as his brows furrowed. She had no idea what he was thinking."What's wrong?" Lily asked, seeing that he did not reply."Actually, we might be able to get in." He raised his eyebrows."Huh?" Then she quickly understood. "You mean…through Secretary Rollins? But he's still in a coma, and outsiders can't know about it." After a pause, she thought of something and continued, "Tasia can still hold them back for now, but…if the Moores go over, Tasia will be overpowered.""You're right. That's why we’ll have to be one s
"Listen to me!" Lily could tell that Olivia was starting to lose it and quickly said, "I know you're worried about him now. We are too! But no one knows what's going on and why he’s doing this. Don't act rashly until this is all figured out. We'll at least have to trust the Edward we know, right?"Lily sounded calm, but her heart was racing as well.Olivia was silent for a moment before she nodded. "Okay, I understand!""Good. The most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself and the baby inside you. You shouldn't get too riled up. Understand?" After a few more words of advice, Lily was about to hang up.However, Olivia seemed to think of something again and said, "Wait! Since you've been occupied, I've helped you with some of your emails. I replied to some simpler ones, but there are still a few encrypted emails. You can look at them yourself when you're free.""Okay." Lily nodded. "Thank you for helping me."After saying that, she hung up.She had not had time t
