Chapter 1909


    Mike was astonished upon hearing that and nced in Edward’s direction. He waited for an answer.


    Edward said nothing, but his silence confirmed their thoughts.


    “You’re insane,” Lily said lightly. Her voice was calm and without emotion. She sounded like she was


    reading a fact.


    Mike agreed with her, adding, “If that’s your n, then you’re crazy. Do you know how many people are


    here and how tight the security is? Also, many types of viruses exist here, including those well-


    developed and still developing. Are you aware of all that?”


    A momentter, he continued, “How will you bring this ce down by sacrificing yourself? Tell us. Don’t


    you know this ce isn’t a vination development center? That’s just a cover-up for what they’re


    doing?


    “Do you think you can leave here alive after destroying this ce? Even if you sacrificed yourself and


    died, no one will know you for your good deeds. People will only remember you as a sinner!”


    “I know that.” Edward was also calm—even slightly indifferent as if he was not the main character of


    their conversation. “I don’t care.”


    Mike was speechless at his attitude because he and Lily cared. He realized anyone from the Russell

    family and anyone involved with them was insane. He had never known Edward as a stubborn person


    because Edward appeared sensible and reliable.


    ‘What happened to Edward that made him so dead-set on this n?’


    Before Mike could think of how to convince Edward, he heard Edward’s hurried voice. “Leave quickly!


    You don’t have much time left. Others will realize what’s happening here. It’ll be toote if you want to


    leaveter!”


    As he spoke, he grabbed Mike by his cor and nned to do the same to Lily. However, he changed


    his mind and grabbed her arm instead after looking at her. During his hesitation, Lily had already


    stepped backward, grabbed his arm, and twisted it.


    She restrained one of Edward’s hands. He could fight against Lily but knew it would be inappropriate


    due to their status differences.


    “Mrs. Russell, please don’t make this difficult for me!” Edward finally said something that made him


    sound like his old self.


    Lily’s gaze deepened, and she stayed silent. She just grabbed his wrist tightly in response to his words.


    “Let me go! Let go…” Edward grabbed Mike by his neck tightly and held him in the air. It got difficult for


    Mike to breathe. Mike could not breathe properly and felt embarrassed.


    Lily restrained one of Edward’s hands and had an advantage over him. However, Edward could still


    easily lift Mike in the air with only one hand. Mike felt embarrassed because he was a grown man but


    could do nothing to free himself.


    “Mrs. Russell…” Edward was helpless. He could not be forceful toward Lily and became anxious.


    After a momentary silence, Lily looked at him, her gaze full of conflicted emotions. “You’re severely


    poisoned!”


    Edward was stunned, but his expression changed the next second. He did not deny what she said and


    replied calmly, “It doesn’t matter.”


    “It does!” Lily was solemn and said thoughtfully, “Have you ever thought that you’re not alone and Liv is


    still waiting for you? She’s pregnant now but has always trusted you. Even if you treated Live that way,


    she never resented you.


    “She’s so loyal to you, but how could you do this to her? You said you would sacrifice yourself and


    bring this ce down. When you made that decision, did you think of her and your unborn child?”


    Lily became infuriated as she spoke and gradually strengthened her grip on Edward’s wrist.
