    Chapter 1990


    Lily had previously attempted to break the windows, causing alot ofmotion, but she barely left a


    scratch.She could not even make a crack, and the people outside did not even bother checking on her.


    It indicated they were confident she could not escape through the windows.


    After struggling for a while, she only managed to exhaust herself and work up a sweat, with no other


    effect.


    Fortunately, a clock was in the room to allow her to keep track of time.


    Initially, Lily was not in a hurry, thinking someone woulde to her.


    However, three days had passed, and there was no sign of activity.


    Every day was the same, besides hers and her little ones’ increasing restlessness.


    Lily paced around the room continuously as she could not leave.Her body felt heavy, and her


    movements became sluggish.


    If she were to try anything, she would not have much chance of escaping.


    "I want to see your boss!"


    Lily opened the door and stood at the entrance, addressing the two guards.


    As she expected, they remained as unresponsive as before.


    They did not even nce at her.It was evident they had received orders.novelebook They ignored


    everything Lily said unless instructed otherwise.


    "Let me repeat myself.I want to see your boss!"


    She ced a hand on her abdomen, her brows furrowed.


    "I might...go into prematurebor!"


    After speaking, she palmed the doorframe and slowly crouched down.She could not squat down fully


    due to her swollen belly.


    Finally, the two guards reacted.


    They turned to look at Lily, observing her paleplexion and therge beads of sweat on her


    forehead.She was enduring tremendous pain, which did not seem like an act.


    Moreover, the two guards would be in trouble if something happened to Lily.


    The guards quickly exchanged a nce andmunicated silently.


    One of them stayed behind while the other hurriedly walked away.


    Lily was unsure how they wouldmunicate with their superiors.She had assumed it would be


    through a walkie- talkie or a phone call, but she did not expect them to leave to deliver the message.


    It also showed that the people behind the scenes must be nearby, or at least not far from here.She


    slowly turned around and walked toward the sofa in the room.


    Then she plopped on the sofa, leaning to one side, appearing in great pain.


    ‘It’s an unavoidable strategy.It might be the only way to attract someone''s attention.I wouldn''t even


    have a chance to negotiate, let alone escape, if I don''t see anyone"


    After about ten minutes, she heard hurried footsteps, sounding somewhat chaotic.


    There were at least three or four people.

    Lily covered her belly with one hand and lightly grasped the side of the sofa with the other.


    Then she nced toward the door from the corner of her eye.


    Shortly after, the guard who had left earlier returned apanied by a few other people.


    Lily''s spirits lifted, but her face showed even more pain.


    She furrowed her brows and fixed her gaze on the approaching individuals, trying to see who they


    were.


    ‘Who are they? Are they the masterminds behind this? Will they turn out to be as I had imagined?’
