Chapter 1758
Alexander’s hand, which was holding onto Lily’s arm, tightened. He did not want Lily to endanger her
life. If he could rece Lily and take the risk for her now, he would do it without any hesitation, but it
was her the organization needed.
“They’re eager for me to join them because they believe I can blend the medicinal herbs and
fragrances perfectly together to achieve what they want. That’s not difficult as I’ve seeded several
times before.
“Also, I know how to protect myself. Since they still need me, they won’t hurt me. You can rest assured
I’ll be fine, at least during the period when they need me.” Lily was still trying to convince Alexander.
She could have disregarded his opinions and done whatever she wanted, but she understood where he
wasing from. He loved her, so he cared so much about her safety. He was just as worried as she
was when his situation was uncertain back in Burnwken.
She was emphatic because she understood his feelings exactly.
“What will happen when you’ve seeded, and they don’t need you anymore?” Alexander asked in
return, anxious as he softly ced his hand on her belly.
“Plus, you’re pregnant now, so it’ll be inconvenient for you to move around much. You must be wary of
many more things. How can I let you get involved in something so dangerous?”
“If I had a choice, I wouldn’t do it either,” Lily said bluntly. She was frank about not feeling the need to
save the world by herself. She stuck her tongue out and continued, “I don’t have a choice now since I’m
already involved in it, and it’s difficult to pull myself out of the situation as well.”
Without giving Alexander a chance to speak, she continued, “I think we shouldn’t be too pessimistic
about this. Perhaps they’re not as hideous as we think they are.”
“That’s because you don’t know what they’re capable of!” Mike could not help but interrupt.
He had been a yer in business for many years and had seen many things, including the influences
from the people of the dark side.
He made his way through many obstacles but was genuinely terrified of the organization, which he had

no idea what they were capable of. Most importantly, he did not know where Nick was.
“Maybe!” Lily did not argue with him and continued, “They’re in desperate need of me, an insignificant
person with no fame to help them now. I think they might not be that difficult to deal with.
“Since they’re nning to use the vines to do something, why don’t we go along with their n and
turn the tables around when the time is right? This could be a good opportunity for us too.” With her
head tilted to one side, Lily was formting a n in her mind.
Then she looked at Mike before averting her gaze back to Alexander. “I can produce the things they
want ording to their “needs” at least.”
It was obvious that Alexander was already convinced by her. Hesitation was still evident in his gaze,
but he was no longer as determined to stop her.
Lily tugged at his sleeve with both hands and swung it lightly while she softly said, “I know you’re
worried about me, but have you thought of what the organization would do if I reject them?
“To such an organization, the best thing to do to someone without any value is to destroy them!”
That stunned Alexander. “I won’t allow such a thing to happen!” Subconsciously, his grip on her
became firmer while his heart tightened.
Lily smiled and used his words against him. “How can you promise that? Don’t tell me you’ll use your
life and wealth to promise me that. You’re well aware that I can do that too. But nothing in this world is
absolute, so regardless of my choice, the risk is there. Why don’t I choose an option where I have more
control over its consequences in that case?”
