Chapter 1753
Lily pondered the question before this and could not make sense of it, especially after retrieving the
data from the encrypted database.
The institute was researching many types of poisons simultaneously, and they experimented with their
products on many people, as shown by the data. This proved that the organization had its share of
capable researchers.
There were many people out there who were well-versed in the field of pharmacology, such as Rhea.
Hence, Lily did not understand why they were so persistent in recruiting her into the team. The only
possible reason she came up with was rted to the concept Professor Thompson had at the initial
stage of the experiment.
They wanted to blend the medicinal properties thoroughly with the fragrances, making its users
unknowingly take medicine into their bodies.
Professor Thompson’s vision was to use this new creation to save lives, but the wicked organization
went against his original intention. Instead of doing good to society, they wanted to use poison to
control and harm others.
“You’re right,” Mike admitted with certainty without any hesitation this time around. “To be frank, I have
no idea about the core of their n, but the thing they’re developing is still a bit short of sess. Just a
tiny bit short of it, and they’ve dyed it for a long time.
“I’m guessing that it’s theirst step before seeding. They’ve recruited other perfumers to participate
in the research, but the materials were never a perfect blend, perhaps because they were from different
professions.
“You were the only one who made it happen!” Mike continued after a pause, “Plus, you achieved many
milestones while you were working for the institute. That made the organization want to recruit you
even more! Hence, your safety is guaranteed for the time being.”
In other words, they would not kill her yet because she could still provide value to them.
Lily could not help but chuckle at the sound of that. “In that case, should I be grateful to the
organization?”
A hint of awkwardness shed across Mike’s face as he lightly coughed to cover it up. “I know it seems
hypocritical to say this, but I must rify that I’m not with them.”
“As you said, you were forced and controlled into doing things unwillingly, but why are you telling us all
this now? Are you no longer afraid of their threats? Or have you figured things out? Or… are you going
to give up on Nicky?”
Mike retorted immediately. “I would never leave Nick! I could die and rot in the pits of hell, but he can’t!”
Lily said nothing. She knew Mike would not just abandon his son, but his words still shocked her. As a
mother, she understood how much parents loved their children. She was not scared of anything, except
for her child encountering danger and getting hurt in the process.
Almost subconsciously, she gently stroked her belly with a hand and lowered her gaze in silence.
Seeing that she would not say anything, Alexander leaned forward and crossed his arms as he said,
“Are you here for my help?”
“I can’t just sit around and wait any longer!” Mike propped his hands on his knees and stood up. He
paced the room while taking in deep breaths. It seemed like it took him a lot of courage to make this
decision.
“That side is pressuring me now. They ordered me to do anything to get you on board to help the
organization. I know I won’t be able to convince you, and I don’t know what else I can do. After some
pondering, I decided to be honest. Let’s cooperate on this!” Mike proposed.
“Cooperate?” Alexander lifted his head to look at Mike.
“Actually, I have a n…” Mike leaned toward Alexander but looked at Lily. He trailed off and just
stared at Lily profoundly.
Lily turned to look at Mike, but before she could say anything, she heard Alexander reject decisively,
