Chapter 1683


    "Dr.nc, I don’t get it."


    Edmund still tried to defend himself, but Lily interrupted him before he could finish.


    "Is this necessary?" Edmund was quiet.


    "Do you think you can lie your way out of this? Or do you think we would show up and expose you


    without proof?"


    Lily felt a mix of emotions as she looked at Edmund.She had known Dr.nc and Edmund the longest


    and was most familiar with them.


    Although she and Edmund were far from good friends, they at least worked well together.


    At first, she could feel he did not trust her, but sheter discovered him to be a rtively objective


    person.She could ept Edmund holding a prejudice against her just like Austin did, but it was difficult


    for her to believe he was a traitor.


    Edmund suddenlyughed when hearing Lily’s words and seeing Dr.nc’s expression.He tilted his


    head back and let out a long sigh.

    As if he was relieved of a heavy burden, he looked rxed, and the smile on his face grew...creepy.


    "I never expected this."


    He shook his head and slowly lowered it.


    Then he said quietly and puzzledly, "How did you find out? Since when? I know I’ve never made a


    mistake.I’ve worked hard and have served Dr.nc well.Besides..."


    Pausing, he cocked his head and peered at Lily.


    "I haven’t made things too difficult for you, have I?"


    "You didn’t give yourself away," Lily answered, "You did well.I didn’t suspect you even a bit in the


    beginning.Until Dashiell showed up."


    "Him?"


    Edmund knitted his brow slightly and was baffled.


    "What does this have to do with him?"


    ‘l’m not close to Dash, and I’ve even kept a distance from him.Why is Lily saying it’s because of


    Dashiell?’


    "Indeed, Dashiell looks most suspicious, but because of that, I have doubts."


    At this point, Lily had nothing to hide.


    "He’s not on good terms with me and is so prejudiced against me that he secretly gave Debbie


    medicine that would worsen her condition.All this is too conspicuous and out in the open.


    "Not every Tom, Dick, and Harry could join our department.It’s even harder to infiltrate the ce to


    serve another organization.Dashiell is too dimwitted to be such a person."


    "It''s because he’s too...dimwitted?"


    Edmund frowned in disbelief.


    Dr.nc cleared his throat and added, "No, Lily is trying to say that such a person would not draw


    attention to himself.Okay, it’s my turn to ask you.Who the hell do you work for? Why are you doing this?


    What''s the mission they gave you?"


    "There’s no point asking.We should all bear the responsibility for the choices we make.I failed, and I


    admit it!"


    Edmund sighed.


    "Don’t ask me anything.I won’t answer."


    "Edmund! Tell us while you still have the chance.You might not have any after this." Dr.nc said


    grimly.


    Edmund could still exin to Dr.nc why he was doing this, but no one would listen if the military


    were to take him away.


    Having been with Dr.nc for a long time, he naturally understood it.


    Edmund smiled and raised his brow.


    "Thank you, Dr.nc! I mean it.I''ve learned a lot working alongside you.However, I don’t need such a


    chancel"


    Smiling, he spread his arms and tilted his head back.


    "He''s trying to kill himself!"


    Lily screamed.


    Alexander responded even faster, darted over, and seized Edmund’s hand while grabbing his face.
