Chapter 1957


    “What about Lily?” Mike asked, worried. He was ashamed about not knowing where she was and that


    she was in a dangerous situation despite promising Alexander he would protect Lily.


    “What else can you do besides return to the research facility?” Alexander asked, “Are you able to


    locate and rescue her?”


    “I…” Mike was stumped.


    Alexander said grimly, “I’ll find her. Return to the research facility now and ensure nothing harmful gets


    out of there!”


    He was angry but knew it would not do him any good.


    ‘What matters most now is to solve the problem. There’s no use losing my temper, is there?’


    Mike guiltily grunted a yes, then suddenly thought of something. “Oh, yeah! Has Edward returned yet?”


    “Edward?” Alexander was puzzled.


    “You don’t know?” Mike knew from Alexander’s response that he probably was unaware of what had


    happened. However, as it was not a time for small talk, he only told Alexander about meeting Edward in


    the facility without going into the details.


    Alexander answered, “I see. Go back now. I’ll get my men to look for Lily. If you hear anything, just


    inform me! Let’s keep in touch.”


    “Sure!” Mike answered. He felt sorry but knew apologies would be pointless now. Thinking so, he was


    determined to perform his task well and not make any more mistakes.


    Alexander pondered momentarily after hanging up the phone. Then he took his jacket and went to see


    his son. Meanwhile, Galen was sitting on a small chair on the balcony ying with Lego bricks.


    Since it was his favorite pastime activity, Alexander had someone deliver many of them so Galen would


    not get bored. Alexander wanted to say something but stood aside when he noticed how engrossed his

    son was with his toys.


    After several minutes, Galen finished assembling aponent and proudly showed it to his father.


    “Daddy, look!”


    Alexander examined it seriously and nodded, “You got all the details right quickly. You did very well!”


    Pleased with his father’spliment, Galen smiled happily. However, his smile froze when he saw a


    jacket draped over his father’s arm. “Are you leaving, Daddy?”


    ‘My son is indeed very observant.’


    Alexander nodded. “Yes, Daddy has to make a trip outside.”


    “Without me again?” Galen blinked after catching on.


    Alexander felt helpless but wanted to smile at the same time. Galen was so clever that Alexander did


    not even need to borate.


    Alexander thought for a while and asked, unsure, “Yes, Daddy has some important work to do. Are you


    okay to stay here by yourself?”


    He did not know if it was the right decision as the situation here was not ideal either.


    ‘Dominic’s symptoms have kept recurring, and Austin has his hands full. Besides that, since the


    servants aren’t well, I doubt they can care for Galen.’


    Alexander thought it through before changing his mind and asked, “How about I take you to your great


    grandma’s house?”
