Chapter 1749
Mike immediately raised his hand to touch his neck, adjusting his cor while his flushed face eased
slightly. However, Alexander''s stare was still unkind. "What do you mean?"
"He''s saying that someone has kidnapped Nick," Lily softly said as she stepped forward.
Alexander turned and looked at her in disbelief. He did not know about this and was shocked. After all,
Mike had never said anything before this. Later, Alexander became so upied with everything that he
never bothered asking about Mike''s family. He was in a daze after hearing what Lily had said.
At this moment, Mike''s face was calm. A bitter smile shed across his face, and he asked, "Can we
talk elsewhere?" Then he looked around and continued, "It''s not convenient to talk here."
After all, they were in a public ce.
Before Alexander could speak, Lily squeezed his arm, looked at Mike, and said, "We can, but we
decide where."
Once bitten twice shy, so her guard was up. Mike naturally understood this. Ever since what happened,

she would never consider him as her friend again. However, he had noints. After all, he did that
to himself.
"Okay." He nodded.
Ultimately, the ce Lily chose was an elegant tea house just a short distance from the hospital. The
ce was secluded and rtively quiet. There were special rooms for members with good privacy.
Most importantly, it was a property under the La Beaute Group.
She was smart. By choosing such a ce, she would not have to fear Mike having ill intentions or
trying to pull any moves.
Mike knew he was wrong and had no objections. He followed them into a private room, and the trio sat
down. Then the waiter served some tea and snacks before exiting. Lily looked at Mike and said, "Okay,
whatever you have to say, say it."
"I…"
Just as he was about to speak, Lily added, "However, it''s best if you just finish saying everything you
want to say quickly. After all, we may not have the patience and time to listen to you next time. We''re
only doing this for your son’s sake."
Her eyes softened when she mentioned Mike’s son.
No matter what was happening in the adult world, children were innocent. On top of that, Galen and
Nick got along very well, and Galen genuinely enjoyed being friends with Nick. Naturally, Lily would
also be worried if something happened to Nick.
However, she was doubtful of Mike''s words.
He lowered his head and smiled bitterly. He did not refute but sighed instead. "I know what I did to you
was wrong, but I had no choice. As I said, Nicky is in their hands. If I don''t do as they say, I don''t know
what will happen to him." He lowered his head again sadly, unable to hide his loss.
Alexander looked at Mike and thought he was telling the truth. Alexander narrowed his eyes and asked,
"You can''t find him?"
"Nope." Mike shook his head. "I have used everything I had and searched all over the world. I''ve done
everything possible, but I don''t have a clue. He seems to have disappeared from this world."
"Is a pecuniary reward not enough?" Alexander asked.
