Chapter 1498


    Lily felt her mind go nk.


    "W-What happened?"


    "I can''t exin 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 ces."


    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 tofort 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 thought about Burnwken shed across her mind.


    "Did you catch the gue?"


    To her surprise, she once again heard only silence.


    Alexander did not speak but would asionally cough uncontrobly.


    That was enough for Lily to know.She felt a rush of an indescribable feeling in her heart for a


    moment.She did not expect him to get infected.


    No wonder he did note home straight away, nor did he want to meet her.He must be afraid of


    infecting her and the children.


    At this moment, Lily finally understood everything.


    With a nod, she said, "I understand.Tell me where you are, or send mea location.You can stay there,


    but I have to see you."


    "Lily..."


    "Trust me.I can help you.I can protect myself as well! I''ve studied medicine and am well-versed with


    medicinal herbs," she casually said.


    She knew the only way he would not worry was through her calmness.


    That way, she could persuade him to agree to her request.


    "Give me two more days.I need to settle down first since I just arrived not too long ago.I''ll call you again


    once I''ve settled down," Alexander said after pondering.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    "One day!"


    Lily bargained but wished she could go right now.


    She knew that if she pressed on the matter too urgently, he would refuse decisively and not let her go.


    Ultimately, she could only bargain for a shorter time frame.


    After all, she was anxious and could not wait to rush over to him.


    "Lily..."


    He sighed helplessly.She continued to reason with him.


    "If you disagree, I''ll send people to look for you.I don''t believe that with the Russell family''s abilities, I


    won''t be able to find you.Suppose you don''t want me to do that.I will take the necessary precautions


    when I meet you."


    Silence hung in the air again.


    However, Lily could feel that Alexander was sumbing to her request.


    Not longter, he let out another faint sigh and said, "Okay —one day.I''ll send you the location the day


    after tomorrow.Remember to take precautions and not bring too many people with you, understand?"


    "Okay!"


    Of course, she did.


    gues like these were contagious, and no one knew how they spread.


    The fewer people she brought, the better it was to prevent it from spreading.


    Knowing that he was about to hang up, Lily quickly called out to him, "Alex..."
