Chapter 1488


    Lily returned home safely and felt the house was empty.


    She had sent Galen to Dominic''s ce, and Alexander was not around.


    Daisy had been released, leaving only her and a few maids in therge, quiet house.


    She turned on theputer to read the news.


    The pandemic in Burnwken has not only not been contained but has also gotten worse.


    There were cases in border areas of Hydend and some other countries, while the virus seemed to


    have spread from Burnwken, which was widely condemned by other nations.


    Lily, on the other hand, had a feeling there was more to it than meets the eye, and she suspected it had


    something to do with theboratory.


    Having decided to make a trip, she looked down and caressed her tummy, wishing her children could


    be strong and stick it out with her.


    The night fell.


    Lily wrappedyers of waistbands around her waist to keep her stomach in ce.


    Although her belly was only slightly bulging and had not made it hard for her to move around, it


    somehow got in the way.


    She knew if Alexander was around, he would surely stop her and chide her for doing so, but since he


    was not here, she could only do everything herself as she had no choice.


    She put on ck attire, including a mask and a hat.


    Avoiding the maids, she got into her car and drove away, heading straight toward the research institute.


    She nned to sneak into the building.


    Having worked there for quite a while, she was familiar with its structure andyout.


    Furthermore, most people would have left at night.


    Although there were people on the night shift, there were not as many as during the day.


    Besides, those who had to conduct experiments would have to turn on the light, so Lily knew which


    areas to stay away from.


    Even if she were to be discovered, she was able to handle five or six security guards without a


    problem.


    She parked her car a bit away from the research institute and got out.


    Putting on a fanny pack around her waist, she stole near the boundary wall.


    She knew that it was a CCTV blind spot.


    She wanted to tell Thompson to do something about it but decided against it after realizing that there


    was something wrong with the research institute.


    The matter was then put aside.

    Now, the spot was the perfect ce for her to sneak in instead.


    Just as she prepared to leap onto the top of the wall, someone grabbed her elbow.


    Lily spontaneously held the person''s hand and threw the person over her shoulder.


    "Ugh!"


    Caught off guard, the person grunted, not expecting that her reaction would be bean so swift.


    As he was rather tall, he did notnd on his back, but his hurt buttocks still made him groan despite


    himself.It was only then that Lily saw his face.


    "It’s you?"


    At the basement, Austin was in a daze and could not tell how many days had passed.


    He used to mark the wall with his knife to count the days, butter on, he could no longer tell how long


    he had slept or if it was day or night.
